Why Istarians have no boats and can't swim

[flamestar]

Are there water golems in game? I've seem water elementals, but can't recall ever seeing water golems.

I looked it up on the wiki and found this: http://istaria.wikia.com/wiki/Golem#Golems

Golems are creatures comprised of the very elements themselves. They patrol crafting resource areas and attack anyone that wanders into their territory.

Some Golems can be harvested once they have been killed. Most of them deliver as much material as rich resource nodes.

They are called "water elementals", but elementals are listed under the golem category, so I guess they count as golems.

Elementals are golem-like creatures that roam throughout the lands of Istaria.
