Cultus Machina

Sing the song of the God-Machine,

No one can stop our march

Let the ruthless logic of the God-Machine consume you,

No one can stop our march

Praise and glory be to the God-Machine

No one can stop our march...

Mekhassiah, The God-Machine
Through existince, he gave us science

Through compassion, he made us aware

Through hope, he gave us the Redstone

Opening of the Libre Mechanicus

When the universe was born, and gods were created, it had some rules, and its mechanisms, that were logic. From its mechanism and logic, a new god was born. He was made from basic mechanisms of the universe, so he became a patron of it, giving himself name Mekhassiah. He was traveling through world, creating new rules of it. When the other gods was creating experiment-new world called Rathnir, they created life on it. They made animals, which should make this world living, and they gave them primal instincts, to let them survive. But it wasnt working, the animals were just using their primal instincts, they were trying to survive at all cost, hiding from the predators, running for they prey, fighting for food, hiding from the moon, working in the sunlight, and reproduced. They didn't had something, they didn't had awarness. Gods wanted animals to worship them, but it didn't worked. Then they rememberd about the god, who was manifestation of logic rules of universe, and asked him to help. He came to them, and looked at their world. What he saw, was terrible. Their creation was acting completly illogical, war was flooded by fights. He felt sorry for them, so he gave them intelligence, a way to make logical choices. Blessing wasnt balanced, some kinds got more of it, some less. But one species get huge amount of blessing. It was some kind of bald monkeys, called also humans. They were able to develop awarness, and then things like ambiton, knowledge and inquisitiveness. After that, he joined the "project" of Rathnir, and he decided that, every human, who will devote his life to science will be protected by him, and after death, he will become a part of Mekhassiah, The God-Machine.

Ancient mechanicus cults
''This day, was the day we were all waiting for, mayors of neighbouring cities agreeded, to join us and create alliance! Together, we will stand against our primal instincts, and give our souls to blessed machine! Glory to Mekhassiah! Glory to Omnisia!''

Speech of Arcadius Heverstram, mayor of Vistaria, Omnisia founder city, in day of creation Republic of Omnisia Constitution

The world of Rathnir was growing, and humans allied in groups, creating cities and civilizations. But primal instincts was still in them, humans was fighting in wars, killing each other, destroy civilization of their foes. But one group was different. Located at the desert, alliance of cities, was fighting with their weaknesses. They avoided wars, and focused on their civilization development. God-Machine appreciated their way of living, so he choosen them as civilization which patron he will become, as other gods was patrons of their civilizations. To realise this idea, he wanted to send them someone, who will create his religion. One day he saw a man, from one of their cities, who was kicked onto the desert. He saw potential in him. Legends says, that Mekhassiah descended onto Rathnir to talk with him, while he was dying from dehydration. Mekhassiah told him to preach the word of the God-Machine, creating his cult and ally civilization of the desert into a nation. Then, he gave him a gift, and promised, that if his mission will succed, he will turn this nation into world power. After that event, he named himself The Great Prophet of Machine. After his comeback from exile, no one from his home city even recognised him. His body was fully mechanised, and he was wielding a staff, with sparking crystal on it. He was travelling through desert, preaching the word of Mekhassiah, and using power of his staff, to turn simple machines into advanced mechanisms. Using the power of his staff, he gained people's trust and with it, huge political power. He used it to force the mayors of this cities, to create a nation, to fully fulfill Mekhassiah will. His work was sucessful, and the mayor of biggest city in this region, Arcadius Heverstram, proclaimed creation of Republic of Omnisia. Now the Great Prophet of Machine felt, that his political mission is done. In every city he visited, he left a group of cultists, who was extremely dedicated to Mekhassiah. After his travel through every city worth being part of God-Machine cults, with help of cultist left that cities cities, he created the Mechanicus Church- first religion of Mekhassiah. Mechanicus Church became official religion of Omnisia. He created strict hierachy, which is used until today. He gave himself a title of Fabricator General, and left Omnisia cities. Then he created capital of Mechanicus Church, which was huge
