Machine Awakening

It is still believed today that the awakening of the Clockworks was Tellura itself reacting to the destruction caused by the Shaman. Records of this time are hazy and mostly incomplete, but it’s said that they arose not only from the Orm but from the Amalgam itself, bursting from the earth and pouring from the very Wells the Shaman had dug. This of course is unsubstantiated by any physical evidence, but many of them were unlike the Clockworks we know today. They were terrifying to behold, engines of war and destruction covered in techmaturgical plates and armatures of unrivaled power. It is said that some were the size of mountains. Most importantly however they were immune to the Shaman’s influence and banded together with the scattered Resistance.
