The battle in Doomheim was fierce.
The dwarvesâ forces were led by two massive golems, with smaller ones following closely behind.
Though called âsmall,â these golems were intricate marvels of engineering, filled with complex magical circuits that allowed them to unleash barrages of spells with a simple infusion of mana.
The massive golems, on the other hand, couldnât wield magic, but their overwhelming weight and strength dominated the battlefield. Even in a contest of raw power, they held their own against Skadia.

Hargran hastily raised his hammer to guard, bracing himself for the impact.
As the slashes closed inâ
