Creators of technological marvels
Axiom
Through Alteration, humanity has managed to stabilize its immediate environment. However, this ability is still only available to an elite group. The Axiom strive to make this gift available to all and to share it with all humanity. In their view, the only way to achieve this is to rely on the scientific method and technology that can be easily made available to the whole population. Under its influence, society is experiencing a new industrial revolution in which reason and progress go hand in hand. And the Faction doesn't intend to stop there.
"The world is altruism and innovation."
Creators of technological marvels
Artisans, engineers and creators, the Axiom are champions of science in a world that has been profoundly altered and where the laws of physics have been turned upside down. With a keen focus on innovation and progress, they are constantly creating new artifacts and tools with the aim of improving overall quality of life for the human population. To do this, they use their machines and a new energy resource called Kelon, which has properties they can use to create new technological marvels that they seek to make available to everyone.
The Tumult swept away the traditional convictions of the past. Faced with forces that had no rational explanation, humanity had initially shunned science, which was considered outdated in the new world that had emerged. But through experimentation and invention, the Axiom have started coming to grips with the universe's new laws of physics. They have now rekindled the deeply held conviction that technology and the scientific method will enable humanity to once more gain mastery over reality.
The Foundry
The Bastion of the Axiom Faction is the Foundry, an enormous and imposing structure of stone, metal and glass. Built into the side of a cliff, this town-sized factory also extends into the rock with scores of workshops, silos and cave warehouses. The Axiom master artisans, including chemists, engineers and metalworkers, work there day and night in the thick smoke of furnaces that never sleep. There are production lines, forges, hangars and workshops. The clamor of spinning and clicking cogs and gears and the hissing and whistling of steam never stops. The air is tinted red from the glow of flames and molten metal, and the heat is unbearable for most. The building has its own station inside for transporting workers, raw materials and manufactured products. The Foundry is without doubt the beating heart of innovation and progress.
