Just had a random thought during work. Could work it so that a primary theme for the Golems would be power sources (Fire, Steam, Electricity) and have the whole time period thing be more of a secondary characteristic.
I know even talk of changing that kind of theme is herecy, but it wouldn't actually change anything at all. It would just make them feel a little less out of place in a modern setting. They can still represent the eras, but from a mostly design standpoint. And I think any time it's been brought up about them being created during their era it just gets a little confusing, so having them less timelocked would keep things nice and flexible.
It would also link them closer to the Spirits, them being like the Elementals of Nature and the Golems being the Elementals of Man. And as fuel sources they have an even more obvious connotation of impact on nature, while not intrinsically good or evil.
Know this is going to be torn to shreds, but I need to hit the bed anyway.
