I have a dumb question, after all these years playing Angband, what is an "Eog" golem? electroculography? enron oil and gas? I have no idea!

“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

It's apparently from the Rolemaster RPG system.
"Eog (“True Iron”) Eog is undoubtedly among the rarest of metals. Requiring both hot and cold forging,
the finished metal is incredibly hard, tougher than Dwarven adarcer, and even stronger than ithilnaur.
It also has a strange appearance. Both white and red varieties commonly exist; neither has any lustre.
Eog also has other properties as a damper against certain enchantments, preventing the manipulation
of the Essence within a certain radius depending on the nature of the spell caster. The color is the key
to this, and it can be made black, white, red, blue, or grey."
