Lance: Doc had discovered and married a special species of Golem from another realm called a Hephaestian Golem. Her name was Regina. Instead of giving birth the "normal " way, Regina carried to term a small object called a "rune core" whenever she would become pregnant. The core was both the soul and blueprint for the Golem child's body, so each one of them could potentially be completely different (and they were, obviously.)

Regina was the creation of her realm's goddess, Hephaestia, who sealed herself away whenever the Maou rose to power. She did this so her creations wouldn't be changed by DE, but at the same time, in her own realm, they weren't given the chance to truly spread and live as she intended. So she seeded our realm with her chosen Handmaidens to give them a shot at life---and to potentially reunite the two realms if the power shifted and DE was no longer the dominant force.
