The “Aegis of The Arcane Order”, also known as the “Aegis” or “The Order” is a state comprised of organic sentients under the overall control of machine intelligences known as [[Aegion]]. The polity spans 24 systems and is primarily populated by Terrassians, Shadentiri and Lo’Ath. It does not directly share wind connections with any other polity, but is closest to the Kingdom of [[Kasmari]]. Technically the capital is the [[Shrineworld]] of [[Aegosta]], but in practice all governmental functions are conducted from [[Salvation]], both within the [[Promise]] system. | The “Aegis of The Arcane Order”, also known as the “Aegis” or “The Order” is a state comprised of organic sentients under the overall control of machine intelligences known as [[Machine Intelligence|Aegion]].

The “Aegis of The Arcane Order”, also known as the “Aegis” or “The Order” is a state comprised of organic sentients under the overall control of machine intelligences known as Aegion. The polity spans 24 systems and is primarily populated by Terrassians, Shadentiri and Lo’Ath. It does not directly share wind connections with any other polity, but is closest to the Kingdom of Kasmari. Technically the capital is the Shrineworld of Aegosta, but in practice all governmental functions are conducted from Salvation, both within the Promise system.
The original Kyrion civilisation expanded from the world of Origin some six thousand years before the Peace of Amity, occupying the Outer Worlds. The early pioneering spirit saw huge advances in technology amongst the Outer Worlds who gradually severed ties with Origin, become a commonwealth of independent system-states. Origin eventually collapsed on itself, as demand for an ever-increasing population outstripped the capabilities of the planet. Meanwhile, the technologically advanced Outer Worlds became increasingly reliant upon machines known as Asenion, which catered for their every possible requirement.
The utopia created by the “C/Fe State” (Carbon and Iron integration) led to stagnation– one would never leave paradise. The endless pursuit of perfection led to an increasingly narrow gene pool and culture. The Arcane Order was formed to counter this stagnation, and eventually took the place of the System-State governments of the Outer Worlds, but too late to counter the downward spiral.
The Luon, created by the Order, were chosen to take the place of the Kyrion.
Remainder pending.
Terminology
“Kyrion” are the original organic sentients responsible for The Arcane Order and the creation of the polity. They were originally known as Aegion.
“Asenion” are machine intelligences bound by the Three Laws, created up until the Ascension of the Order in 603 BF.
“Luon” are generalist machine intelligences bound by the Four Laws who reflect Kyrion in appearance and are now referred to as Aegion.
Aspion are specialist machine intelligences bound by the Four Laws and can sometimes be referred to as Aegion.
The term “Aegion” can, depending on context, refer specifically to Luon or to both Luon and Aspion; in rare cases the term can also include Kyrion. All Aspion are Aegion, but not all Aegion are Aspion.
