Barn Name: Siroco
Gender: Gelding
Height: 19.2 hh

Sire: Magic Clay
Dam: Dancing Fire

Phenotype: Buttermilk Buckskin Splash
Genotype: Ee | Aa | Crcr | Splspl
Eye Color: Surge of the Storm
Breeding Notes:
• All Golems are sterile! They can produce no offspring.

Seven lumps of magic clay, dancing flames on which they lay.
Shamans magic infused by night, the witching hour called under blight.
Fading earth and folk of bone, cries that lifted to an ignored throne.
Life arose with power and might, summoned forth to cease the blight...

The Storm Golem was summoned to bring forth the rains, to wash away the disease that swept over the land of the tribes. The Shaman who summoned him was a firm believer that if one floods the earth, it shall drink its fill and then be able to hold the roots of the plants firm, to feed all the children who walk over its thick crust.

To win the Storm Golem’s favor, you must do the following;
• Name him appropriately.
• Write or draw about his first summoning by his shaman many years ••ago. Minimum of 150 words if written.
• One optional piece of work is permitted; any medium.

The Storm Golem will not grant favor to those who own more than 10 drafts!
Only members who own 10 or less drafts may enter.
These drafts may not be bred! They were not born, they were created from clay and fire by Shaman centuries ago, and have since wandered their summoning grounds since the summoners tethered them to the earth.
The era of this theme is more akin to the Stone Age through the Iron Age! This means metals were just being used, agriculture was recently birthed, hunting was a way of life for the people, etc etc. Keep to this theme, please!

First Summons: “I remember opening my eyes slowly to the sound of dramatic rumbling, almost as if the gods above decided to move around their furniture up in the skies. I could almost taste the smell of disease in the skies, the world was not great right now and it was this point of awakening that I realised why I was summoned. I almost felt the pure urge to do something! But what I couldn’t think of. I stumbled to my feet with almost utter amnesia, how did I get here? Why me?

I began to wander around the terrains, coming across many people and animals alike. The sad faces and depressed expressions swept across the whole land, these beings needed help and although I cannot remember a thing from my past all I know is that I am here for a reason. I decided to gallop to the highest point of the valleys to get a real view of the extent of the suffering. It wasn’t great! I stood in utter shock at how unworthy the world had become without my prescense. As the winds flowed through my forelock and pushed intensely against my body, I noticed an eery glow flowing through the war paint swirls on my cheeks.
An immense surge of power drifted through my body as I thought about the people in need. Without thinking I let out a huge whinny and almost instantly the grey clouds covered the skies above and a heavy rain began pelting down upon us! Thunder erupted from the skies again letting off huge sparks of lightening.

I looked back down the lands and saw that not one living thing had ran for shelter, they all seemed frozen, perhaps this was a sign?...

Not long after the rains had begun they began to stop, the clouds cleared and the sun returned. The air felt much cleaner and everyone seemed to be much happier. It was almost as if the rain had washed away the disease that covered the lands of the tribes. I frolicked with joy with the feeling that this was my powerful doing and the fact I felt like I knew my purpose.

~And that young ones was the first time I was summoned to help the people of the tribes and was certainly not the last” Siroco gasped with air as he got to the end of this ancient story of his as a group of young raj looked up in awe around him, Siroco was deemed a role model ever since thanks to the Shaman in the sky.
