    "Ash Golems are enhanced, more brute force-oriented versions of the Ash Guardians. Formed from the Red Mountain's own ashes, which constantly plague not only the already desolate Vvardenfell, but also southern Solstheim and Morrowind's own mainland, the Ash Guardians generally have an unstable nature, just like the legendary volcano.

    They are cataloged as a recent creation, and according to the few who have studied these constructs, Ash Guardians are specifically a creation that must be attributed to the mysterious Great House Telvanni of Morrowind. Due to the short time of their existence, the refinement of the creation method and the arcane techniques applied to command them are still very limited, which leads to the notorious instability in the art of creating and summoning Ash Guardians, in addition to the very tumultuous nature of the Red Mountain itself and its eruption, which are also believed to be a key factor in the boisterous nature of these golems. Usually only those who carry a Heart Stone can gain control over a created Ash Guardian: this Heart Stone is disintegrated and absorbed by the golem, which then acquires a more calm and submissive behavior towards its creator, however, the process is still in the testing phase and it is not yet known exactly how it actually works.

    Creating or summoning an Ash Guardian without having a Heart Stone in your possession will make you face a type of uncontrollable atronach that will attack everything and everyone, and until the methodology for creating these creatures is improved, resorting to a Heart Stone seems to be the most viable method to gain control over a furious guardian of ashes.

    Heart Stones are special minerals with magical attributes that are still poorly understoo
