Novum-Techarum

Novum-Techarum is a religion worshipping technology. Its followers do not worship any Gods, for in their eyes they are a way of controlling an individual, but worship technology, as they see the life it holds and the gifts it presents. The religion strives to technologically enhance itself through any means possible, whether that be through metallic upgrades, better medication, more powerful weapons, or even through obtaining immortality itself through technological means. The faith is lead by Domitrius himself, holding the role of Dux Techaris. He guides the religion on their quest for technological dominance.

History
Novum-Techarum was founded by Domitrius Vetruvius (Tomo12) on the 10th June 2022. After struggling with a chronic respiratory illness, among other things, Domitrius did not know what to do. He prayed to different Gods, tried different medications, yet none worked. After being told he had only weeks left to live, Domitrius had no will to continue. Walking home from his meeting with his doctors, he was greeted by two people, both of which were made of metal. Their limbs, organs, even parts of their skin were metal. Mysteriously, they knew of Domitrius' condition and offered to help. Domitrius accept. After being taken to a building in the North of Eldham (Its location only known to Domitrius), he was operated on. After minutes of pain and agony, Domitrius left the building. This time, he was without burden. His only saviour was unknown technology. After little thought, he began to worship the metal that was infused with him, founding the religious group known as Novum-techarum.

Beliefs
The key beliefs and rules of Novum-Techarum are that Technology should be respected, looked after, and worshipped. Whether it be a new sword, shield, set of armour, or even metallic enhancements, it should all receive care and praise.

According to Novum-Techarum, everybody should be enlightened by the beliefs of Novum-Techarum. Whether technological enlightenment comes willingly or through forceful means, all people should be enlightened for their sake, and for the benefit of technological advancement. Furthermore, all People should strive to further understand the land, its true origin, the potential it how, and, more importantly, how it can benefit the achieving of technological dominance.

The faithful believe that technological should be embraced and its spirit infused within you. All people who worship heretical beliefs and cannot be enlightened must be detained or exterminated and all efforts to prevent Technological Advancement must be foiled and the people guilty must be detained or exterminated. We must help all people who need it, as Domitrius once was.

Technological Enlightenment
Technological Enlightenment is, in essence, the accepting that technology is the only way forward. it is the realisation that Gods do not hold the key for the advancement of life, but only hold it back. Enlightened individuals tend to be much more developed, both naturally and mechanically, holding more strength and knowledge and possessing the ability to progress with their lives. To reach enlightenment, one must put aside the idea that Gods are the way forwardm be ready to pursue the development of technology and scientific findings, for the benefit of ourselves and those around us and become one with technology and allow it to infuse with you, embracing its spirit.

Once this has been achieved, the Enlightened individual will become a true member of the Novum-Techarum.
