The Miotal

The Iarann were distraught. They had been tasked with reproducing a long lost form of Golemic technology and modifying it for use on living beings and the new Ceithre. It was by far one of the most challenging things the Miotal had ever been tasked to undertake. 

True Golemic Armor had several distinct characteristics to it.

1) Movable plates that did not need to be physically anchored to anything.

2) It did not weigh down whatever it was put on.

3) It was self-regenerating.

The records hold tales of true Golemic Armor, and its devastating characteristics in battle. However, the only Golemic Armor available to the Dryads filled the first two parameters. The secrets of the third having been lost to time. 

Not only did they have to rediscover the last secret, the Miotal also had to make it able to be worn by a living entity.

The concept behind the first and second parameters was easy enough to understand, even easier to put into effect. As a Golemic Core was something created out of a pure influx of mana, or as the Dryads referred to it, anam, the core would thus be able to hold and sustain any reasonable spell. This, to get the plates of armor to remain suspended, the Aer would manipulate a small portion of the core's overall abilities to hold up the pieces of armor. It was this very same process that made them weightless for the Golems that used this type of armor.

The third precept was much harder, not to mention that they had to apply it to a living creature. The Miotal debated, finally reaching a conclusion that they would establish a Behemoth sized core within the Ceithre. This would solve the problem of having too much armor, now they only needed to convince the Dair to let them do this to their oh-so-precious creature.

Now the third requirement for true Golemic Armor will take time and energy to develop, and the Miotal knew this, thus they had to set themselves to this.

It was nearly impossible, for they knew that they were being tasked with creating Living Metal.
