i just finished the planar shpere quest and it is now my strong hold. the guardian golem is cool and all but it seems like thats it to the strong hold and there is nothing else cool. i heard some were that when you get the strong hold you also get a few apprentices who make magical items. is that true or not, and if it is true were are they located?

You might pick something from here

you'll get 3 apprentices soon.. just keep visitng your Sphere... just a hint, once you get them... its more worth it to ask them to make the simplest stuff.. that way.. more of them are likely to succeed....

Unless you're an evil sorcerer and want to trade them for items of power...
