Upon their return to England, Shelley was pregnant with Percy's child. Together with her stepsister, Claire Clairmont, she and Percy left for France and travelled through Europe. In 1814, Shelley began a romance with one of her father's political followers, Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was already married. When she was four, her father married a neighbour, Mary Jane Clairmont, with whom Shelley came to have a troubled relationship. She was raised by her father, who provided her with a rich if informal education, encouraging her to adhere to his own anarchist political theories.
Shelley's mother died less than a month after giving birth to her. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin and her mother was the philosopher and feminist activist Mary Wollstonecraft. She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley.
LUNARK FRANKENSTEIN SKIN
Sometimes cracks in their skin make it look as though their bodies consist entirely of clay, and sometimes illuminated sigils with a word important to the individual Golem appear in prominent places, especially the forehead. Their disfigurements make the Tammuz seem like the Golems after which they are named: they appear covered in clay, eyes like small dark stones, hair matted, accompanied by the scent of turned earth. Many other Prometheans mistake their taciturn natures for stupidity or unsocial natures, but neither is true of most Golems. They see no need for wasting time with dramatics or chit-chat. Many Tammuz are brief, but effective in their choice of words. The Tammuz are also constantly reminded of their condition because of the physical marks of enslavement made at their creation that they carry with them throughout their existence. Their Great Works are struggles for freedom. The Golems consider slavery to be an apt description of the Promethean condition: as beings without souls, no life beyond their material existence, they believe they do not exercise true choice. Throughout history, many of their number have been enslaved, bound by magic into the service of others.
Since their origin, the Tammuz have remained intimately familiar with slavery, on both a literal and a metaphorical level. Their straightforward natures also cause the few who hear of the Plumbum path to become avid followers. Unfortunately, due to their overall pessimistic natures, Torment also comes easily to them, and so does Stannum. The Tammuz, because of their hardy nature, tend to be interested in physical pursuits over intellectual ones as a result, many of them come to follow the Ferrum Refinement for long periods of time. Reflecting the Golem version of their origins as well as their earth element, the favored material for Tammuz Constructs is clay. Once the new Tammuz awakens, they must dig themselves out of the ground. The body is then buried in the bare earth and left. A special word, unknown to any save the creator is written on a slip of paper and placed under the tongue of the corpse this is followed by placing a mark of slavery somewhere on the body, such as a tattoo or manacles. Once a body is chosen, the creator takes the Tammuz to an earthen area. The potential bodies of Tammuz are generally selected by looking for those that were strong or resilient in life, as the Tammuz search for Mortality is generally physical in nature. They say that Loew did not make the Golem, as the traditional myth has it rather, he pressed it into service. The Tammuz claim that the Golem of Prague, which legend attributes to Rabbi Loew Belalei, was one of their number. However, some Tammuz consider another Promethean, a Construct simply called Golem, to be their true forefather. The Progenitor of the Lineage, Tammuz, is said to have been a Babylonian Golem who escaped slavery.
