Order of Machinists

The Order of Machinists is an organisation of knowledge and technology which has spread throughout the known world to further both their own interests and, if it suits, the interests of those around them. First founded in Ustra as a religious guild they became a secular institution pursuing knowledge at any cost. On several occasions they have overreached their nominal doctrines and been subjected to regulation, but for the most part they are widely respected and utilised by the lords and rulers the world over.
