The Nether Capitol – The Iron Guard Command is set to deploy up to 1,500 active-duty Iron Golems to fortify the southern border of the Overworld’s Desert Biome, officials announced on Emberday. The move comes as part of King Donald Stonewall’s executive orders aimed at curbing unauthorized Endermen teleportation and illegal Nether portal activations.
Acting Defense Mage Robert Ironhelm is expected to finalize the deployment orders shortly. However, details regarding which Golem units or patrol squads will be assigned remain unclear. The final tally of reinforcements may change depending on the situation. Questions also linger over whether these golems will directly enforce biome regulations—a task rarely assigned to them in the kingdom’s history.
Expanding the Patrol Network
The incoming Iron Golems will join the 2,500 Guards and Warden patrol units already stationed along the desert border. Previously, these forces focused on logistical support, minecart transportation, and the construction of cobblestone barriers to deter unauthorized crossings. However, this deployment marks the first time in decades that active-duty Golems may take on biome law enforcement roles.
“Protecting our villages and biomes from mob invasions and unauthorized teleportations is critical for Overworld security,” stated an anonymous Council of Stone representative.
Villager Protests Spark Torchlit Vigil
Meanwhile, hundreds of villagers and mobs gathered in Emerald City’s Town Square for a torchlit vigil titled “Strong Walls, Open Hearts.” Organized by the Coalition for Mob and Villager Rights, the demonstration opposed King Stonewall's policies, which many claim disproportionately affect peaceful mobs such as wandering traders and Endermen seeking work.
“We need bridges, not walls,” said Ella Tradesong, a representative of the coalition. “This biome has always been a place where villagers and mobs coexist.”
Strengthening Biome Defenses
The Golems’ duties are expected to focus on reinforcing existing defenses. Tasks may include:
Expanding cobblestone walls and obsidian barriers.
Establishing new patrol routes.
Assisting in minecart transportation to remote guard posts.
The Overworld has previously deployed Golems for such purposes under both King Stonewall and his predecessor, King Joe Miner.
Critics argue that adding more Iron Golems to the border will do little to address the root causes of unauthorized Nether portal activations and mob migration. However, proponents insist the increased presence will ensure the safety of villagers and their homes.
