A scene

In a foundry in Tharshesh, the sorcerer Belos and the alchemist Aras have been preparing the materials for a golem for weeks: river clay, iron filings, ground bone, strange salts. Tonight Belos walks slowly around the great heap, speaking the same long formula over and over, while Aras keeps the fires going. The clay begins to steam gently. The preparations, which Aras swore would take another month, will be ready in half the time. The finished golem is another matter, and the work still ahead of Aras is long.
