Ertose, Techno Mage

Ertose, Techno Mage

Member of the Tech Cabal for the Dark Imperials. He was born and raised into the Cabal when Torgur Agama was already gone and the Technological advances deteriorated fast. The Techno Mages did not invent or improve, but protect what was there. They did so by codifying technical manuals. The codes were copied, altered or lost and each generation more tech was non reproduceable. Engineers became servants to the Techno Mages and were forbidden to understand the code languages. Only allowed to work of decoded maintenance instructions. Instructions that in itself became more and more ritualistic and less and less practical. Ertrose was a Techno Mage believing in the supremacy of Techno Mages but he did see the problems associated with it and tried to reform the Techno Mage society in a time of war (Fighting the Loyal Imperials ) His reformation attempts were rejected and he was branded a traitor. He managed to contact a similiar person on the side of the Loyal Imperials. Together they founded a new society, the Tech Knowers. The Tech Knowers had access to tech of both sides but soon enough started down the same road by actually prohibiting development and invention. "If the wise forefathers wanted such an invention they would have had it " The Tech Knowers rose against their own founders and killed Ertose.
