The description of the Furnace Visage says that the Fire Giant decorations were intended to terrify and mock the Hornsent people. Looking at the overall thing, it's a war machine, a siege weapon, and a terror weapon all rolled into one. I mean, it's full of the corpses of anything it can find and pick up to fuel its fires, right up to a dragon corpse. Plus the sheer size of them and the fact you can see them from miles away helps sell the intimidation factor of them. When you first come onto the Scadu Altus and see one just standing guard outside the Shadow Keep past the Messmer camp, you just know they want to keep people out.

Even worse, that visage is supposed to represent the face of the Fell God to them, as it seems they disliked it as much as Marika. So at least 3 groups (Marika/Hornsent/Zamoreans) had it out for the Fire Giants.
@VictorIV0310

Plus, certain item descriptions state that the Hornsent terrorized and persecuted the Shaman village where Marika lived by rounding up the Numen, mutilating them and stuffing them in jars. After ascending to godhood, Marika orders her son Messmer to wage a brutal, genocidal war against the Land of Shadow with his most prominent war machine being the massive furnace golems where Hornsent themselves are stuffed inside to serve as fuel for the machine as it marches over the land as an instrument of terror, destruction and mockery with its horned mask of the Hornsent’s own fell god of fire. It’s like a fantasy mecha in the form of a walking charnel house. I’m just fascinated by the overall design of this thing!

I think that the concept might actually be that burning the dragon is what allows the Golems to actually come to life by fusing the dragon's Bloodflame into the inanimate material. It would explain why the Furnace Golem's can launch inexhaustible quantities of flame once they're started, and it's also why you can hear draconic roaring coming from inside the burning cores of the regular Guardian Golems.
@gunsevenwhillans420
3 ай бұрын
@@PierceArner What do you mean "Fusing dragon's bloodflame"? Dragons don't have any sort of bloodflame, that stuff is caused exclusively by blood of the Mother of Truth being exposed to oxygen. Although fusing drakeblood into the material could work, since it holds insane amounts of magical power - as evident from the Player Character if he partakes in the Dragon Communion (the Arcane stat determines your own innate magical power in this game), and as we see from the existence of Messmer and the fact you can cast fire-based spells with the Dragon Communion Seal it is entirely possible to convert arcane power into fire through some magical thingamjiggery.

These are based on wicker men. According to Cesar in his memoirs of the Gaulish wars (and therefore to be taken with a grain of salt), these were tall wooden humanoid structures that were built to house human sacrifices, and were then set on fire. They're most well known thanks to the british folk horror movie Wicker Man.

Romans being Romans, the guys who generally referred to anyone not from the Italian peninsula as “barbarians”, there’s a good chance I think that Cesar added the detail of there being people inside the wicker men to make his memoirs more exciting, portraying him as the noble and brave Roman beating civilization into the backwards Gaul barbarians.

On a related note, the design of the furnace golems seems to be a sort of twisted karmic retribution towards the Hornsent approved by Messmer and Marika. The shamans were mutilated, then stuffed into jars to become saints by the Hornsent so in response, Marika orders her son Messmer to wage a brutal, genocidal war against the Land of Shadow, his most prominent war machine being the massive furnace golems where the Hornsent themselves are rounded up in droves, dead or alive (but most likely still alive for extra cruelty), to be stuffed in the golems and lit aflame to bring it to life. Imagine the screams and howls of terror and agony and the smell of burning flesh as the golem surges to life; An instrument of death’s first gasps of “life” brought forth by the deaths of so many within its frame to serve as fuel for the golem as it marches over the land as an instrument of terror, destruction and mockery as it wears the horned mask of the fell god of fire the Hornsent so feared.
