Cult’s awareness, it shall rise:
Hidden people, gather now;
Fight the demons, fight your doubt.
Gearman’s strength shall then endow,
When Guild’s defender casts them out.
For centuries, the mages of Mekhana have done their best
to
hide themselves and their powers from the rapacious needs
of
their so-called Patron Deity, Mekha. Greatest of their
secrets is the Vortex, a Fountain hidden in the heart of
the
Hydraulics Guild. But even after the dissolution of Mekha
and the freeing of his people, Alonnen isn’t ready to
reveal
his guardianship to outsiders. Particularly when the
remnants of Mekha’s priesthood start looking for a new
monstrosity to worship.
Rexei has hidden more than her powers for most of her
life;
she has also hidden her gender, wary of the hungers of the
old priesthood. Only in the safety of the Hydraulics
Guild’s
innermost secrets can she be herself. While the rest of
her
people struggle to reinvent themselves and find a deity
they
can trust, Rexei struggles to trust just one man, the
Guardian of the Vortex. Events are moving fast, though;
the
priesthood is desperate for any new source of power, even
a
demonic one that requires certain sacrifices to access.
