With bated breath, the group observed the dark corridor stretching before them.
The air felt heavy and damp, as though concealing ancient secrets that refused to reveal themselves. They moved carefully into the large room at the end of the passage, and suddenly, a deep rumbling echoed around them, accompanied by a faint tremor underfoot.
In the center of the room stood a towering, imposing figure Ard'Earthen, the stone golem guardian forged from desert rocks.
Ard'Earthen resembled a living mountain of stone, its form shaped from desert rock in shades of brown and gray, laced with cracks that glowed faintly with a greenish light from within.
The golem's eyes gleamed dimly, indicating life despite its limited intelligence.
The green light shone more brightly at certain points, forming vein-like patterns that pulsed as if they were the energy source within its body.
