So.

The first one who opens our challenge is the flame atronaha.

A little lore on the subject of these loyal guardians, I think it wouldn't hurt.

An atronach is one of several species of Daedric creatures or golems, made up almost entirely of a single, pure substance. The name is sometimes applied to man-made constructs that resemble atronachs, but are not Daedra; these creatures are more properly called golems.

All Daedric atronachs share a few characteristics that distinguish them from other Daedra. They are made up of what would normally be inanimate material, and they often appear to be humanoid in form. However, they can be conjured into other shapes. Atronachs generally move by walking or hovering.

Atronachs are considered moderately intelligent, and are frequently used by powerful conjurers as guardians. All atronachs can use magic based on their base element, and are typically weak to opposing magic. Daedric atronachs are unique among the Daedra in that they claim no allegiance to any specific Daedric Prince. They are found nearly as often on Nirn as on any given plane of Oblivion. An exception to this is the storm atronach—as one of the most powerful Daedra species, they are often recruited by the Daedric Princes to protect their realm.
