Iptai, after recieving Factor's Kala test, started mozining about the forge picking up the Largest pieces of Adamantine, Earth essences, and various other metals the Halfing could get her hands on, of course she payed the other workers fairly and generously for the supplies, She decided she would build another Golem, something better than the one she had, It had been made of simple materials ones anyone could create with there own kiln and time.
First she would start with the feat, a good foundation was always important, They had to be heavy making up at least 1/4 of the wieght of the whole piece to be crafted, Less they topple over when they first try to walk. She knew that well, she made this mistake on her first contraption, a Gargolite made of stone, Iptai had reminiscence on that creation, a bit of laughter and giggles as she started throwing a mix of adamantine, Iron and Radiant Earth essences into the Kiln to be Mixed and compressed and upon just the right temps would then be poured into a mold. A mold she would have to make, given the proper melt time this gave her a couple hours to form. Some Clay and a quick fire in one of the ovens.
For the night she tirelessly worked, Pounding shaping and perfecting what was just a mold for the feat of the much larger creation, With the help of the Iron Golem she'd have the Mold Braced and the Adamantine alloy, a mix more designed to add density over hardness, poured then set, it would have to cool the night in a Cradel she'd set up to hold her creation till it was put together and alive.
While the start of creation awaited the next step she thought on what it should look like its purpose and what more it needed. Perhaps a weapon made of a rare material not seen before. yes she then Headed out in search of such through the bazaar, and various planes.

Iptai returns to her creation, well like too feet standing in a cradle. Her search over last night proved to be well unfruitful but progress had to be made, and she set to work. She Started Melting more Adamantine down using the extream heat of the Casting Forge, this time they needed to be pure and strong as these rods and small parts would be making the Skeleton of this Golem.
She worked each piece individually pounding to exact specifications and measurements. of all parts to make of a golem this was the hardest and longest, everything had to be perfect, Gears in the right spots, and the point one decided if the golem would have other Contraptions added. It all had to be done at this point in creation after all if there werent anchors and attachment points to the skeleton once the armor went on nothing could be changed. She would toil for hours non stop between pounding Hard metal into shape and placing the next piece.
While she worked she still wondered and thought about what metals to use for armor. maybe aururem it was rare and nice looking and self healing. or maybe Glass steel that look pretty even show off the innards while providing reasonable and still tough protection.
Well over 30 solid hours of work pass before she even hast the skeleton up and assembled in the cradle, it bolted to the feet. and and supported at by bolt and wires, an eerie metal skeleton man cast long shadows over the forge in the cooling hours.

Finally the skeleton was complete, she started taking a mixture of Aurorum , Iron, and Tru-steel To craft the armor that would reside upon the metal skeleton, The Breastplate was mostly made of Aurorum, on it she inscribed her Clans Markings as well as a large Faction Symbol as the center piece when finished she hooked it up to the rigging and lowered it on the chassis mounts, the greaves and pauldrons Crafted with iron then Plated with Gold the pauldrons looking like wings and also divine inscriptions that would glow and pulse as the golem operated and moved. Then she mounted a weapon an arm made of Tru-steel fashioned after a great-sword.. It both looked fearsome, awe-inspiring, and quite Divine. maybe it would serve as a new guardian for the foundry. She didn't know but it was drawing time to show her creation to the Factor.
She mounted the head it was dwarven in appearance at least what one might think looking upon it she decided it should have a beard and a fancy winged half-helm to go with the guardian and a bit stalky build. And then started the animation ritual as she set about it a bunch of Earth Essences and Powers that lit up and started fusing with it soon bringing the automaton to life.
