Talk:Metallus

Interesting perspective. So a few individuals are trying to explain the rise of technology and the fall of magic. I was looking over it and changed a few things, but nothing to critical. I wrote this version as seen below and wondered if you might want to use a bit of it; was just a little bored and getting in some practice before I start writing papers for my finals.


 * "His worshippers regard him as “Father of Machines” and “Patron of Technology.” He approaches the multiverse with an objective and logical reasoning, by viewing all in terms of function and purpose. Members of the Metallus cult view their world as a great machine, and would consider themselves cogs contributing to its successful operation. This peculiar doctrine could have resulted from the rise of industrialism. According to The Church of Metallus, also known as "The Great Machine", The Father of Machines became dormant many ages ago at the dawn of arcana. It was foretold, however, that he would return to usher in a new age of machinery, and thus restore the perfect order to Ithos. As of late, the religion has had only vague mention in the more obscure ancient texts and appeared only from time to time in history as temporary miniscule cults. In recent times, The Great Machine has been gaining more and more followers, gaining a greater deal of publicity. Clergy of the Great Machine prophesize that the fall of an arcane dependent civilization and the continuing growth of advancing industrial technology will give rise to the age of Metallus. Preparations are in the making as clerics answer the calling of this brilliant opportunity, and watch the events unfold, seeking to convert the masses into new “cogs” for use in “The Great Machine.” Little is known about the Great Machine’s agenda, but they are emerging from the shadows and growing in popularity." - AJ


 * I went with your description Alias Jacky; I found it a bit fuller. I made some ever so slight alterations but its pretty much the same.  Thanks for the contribution.  - Zerm


 * I hope it was helpful, but I really do like the idea of a god emerging from the growing ideology of technology on the rise or a dormant God slowly seeping his influence over the masses. - AJ
