Dungeons and Dragons Lore: Modron Secrets

a young adventurer might look up to see all the different stars in the night sky and wonder just how many different worlds there are out there gods fiends angels these are well known dwellers of the multiverse but what else is there what are some of the most strange creatures to be found floating somewhere in the astral sea there's a plane consisting entirely of rotating gears moving in precise mathematical sequences this plane is called a mechanist a place of ultimate law and order where everything operates in a strict schedule every action is planned measured and controlled perfectly this is where the mode Ron beside the mode runs are a race of geometrical constructs with few humanoid features that spend their entire existence making sure that mechanist is running properly there are many different kinds of motor ons starting from the lowly manager own to be extremely powerful secundus each type of construct of course having a very own job that will fail these jobs are important as motors work in a very specific type of hierarchy the higher the more drawn in this hierarchy the more complex the construction of the motor run is and the more it can do you see the most basic of all are the monitor ohms who are simply there to the most simple of tasks and only ever do one of these tasks at a time they also can only take orders from duo drones which are the next in line in the hierarchy duo drones are a more advanced version of the mono drones being able to perform up to two tasks at a time and it goes on and on for example the duo drones only take orders from the try drones which are a more advanced version of the toy drones who can only take orders from the quadrants this type of ladder goes as far up as the ultimate leader of the mode runs the greater daily Primus who is also the creator of the entire race a mode run never break the order of this hierarchy but even if we were to try to it just wouldn't be possible since a mana drone wouldn't even be able to understand a try drone with the try drone before to advance for the Moto drone to comprehend on the same vein a Quadro and attempting to command a do a drone would fail to do so since the gorge roan would be far too simple to understand the complex orders given to it by the Quadra the mind of each mode Ron is networked to the entire race in a heist mind style of connection where Primus is at the very top this is why mode drones always talk about themselves in terms of just read or us instead of I or he Primus of course having complete control over the entire network and being able to communicate and control every single machine regardless of its status in the hierarchy because of this maximum network and highest mine status every command that a mode run receives is absolute and the construct will complete its command without hesitation PD ego or remorse this makes it extremely difficult to convince a to do something it would normally do whether you try to accomplish this through persuasion or through magic it probably won't work either way as much as they seem mechanical and to an extent they are their creation and existence still magical the portrayal of engineering is there and they behave in that manner as well but the closer you look the more you realize it is still fantastical when a mode Ron is destroyed or stops functioning be that because of combat or because of corruption error or whatever reason the body of the mode rond completely disintegrates as soon as that happens a mojo of a level below the destroyed madryn gets magically improved so as to take on the spot of destroyed Multan for example if a do a drone were to be bank wished then a random mana drone with shining a flash of light and transformer for my mother's drone into a dua Girona and immediately take on its position at that point a new mana drone gets created from a magical tool of power in the middle of mekinese making sure that balance is still struck if a mode run of a very high hierarchy gets destroyed then a mode room from just a level below will evolve and take its place at which point a mode run of a level below the replacement will also evolve to the place of the replacement and so on and so forth on the lemona drone turns into a drone at which point a new monitoring will be created from the pool so make no mistake all these constructs are part of a greater gear and the magic system use this realm and the realm is at the very core magical as much as they seem mechanical they might just not be at all in the very center of it it's once again Primus Primus is humanoid in shape and androgynous in style and nobody really knows where he came from or for how long it's been there whether it was Primus creations that spawned the world of mechanist or whether the very stuff of pure law and mathematics spawned primers in the motor on the pages and dailies even suggest that he might be an elemental primordial but of a different kind what's known however is that for eons it has existed at the very hub of the central cog of Regulus the supreme intelligence of the motor race it sits on top of a magical pool of energy towering about two to three times the size of a normal human with this enormous hands being hidden instead of portals to two different worlds it's right hand was secured by rainbows hiding a portal to Arcadia and it's left hand hidden in darkness obscuring a portal to Acheron Primus is said to be immune to all magic and be one of the single most intelligent creatures in the multiverse if however by some form of calamity or daily level encounter Primus were to be destroyed a secundus modren would immediately be promoted to replace it with just like that of a massive flash of light a greater daily level of entity gets created once again making sure that Primus always exists being one of the most enigmatic entities in the multiverse once every two hundred and eighty nine years Primus unleashes what has now been dubbed the great ocean March during which thousands upon thousands of modes runs explore the outer Plains destroying those who get in their way thinking something but I really knows what it is a seeker or what is their purpose in this march they get out there and scatter all around the Great Wheel of space only a few mosey on ever survived the March and report to Primus about their cigarettes town some people think it is simply an exploration ritual known to coalesce as much information as possible and to make sure that the order of the universe stays as it should others think that every 289 years which equals 17 precise cycles of the largest gear and mechanize that the plane reaches a critical point of energy that needs to be excelled so Primus sends an endless army of mode runs to die simply says that it is then forced to recreate them in unleashing that pent up energy in the plane there is record however of a point in time with Primus was actually destroyed even if momentarily you see the Demon Lord orcas had been killed and instead a shadowy version of himself named tena brow came forth tena brow had access to an impossibly powerful spell called the last word which he had found in some ancient ruins in our boria even the very knowledge of the spell host a massive threat to the lingering body of Tina Brown such was its power regardless dubrow used his spell to slay Primus where it stood a magical spell so powerful that it could kill Davies he then took on the mantle of premise by impersonating it taking complete control over the morons you see tenebra was looking for the last one end of orcas which he needed in order to resurrect himself so he ordered the mo drones to form a great March earlier than scheduled with the sole purpose of finding this one once the march was over thin eyebrow simply left the position of Primus living the cylinders to promote themselves so the position once again however a taint had been left in the mode runs after the hostile takeover of the Demon Lord while the very powerful offenders had been magically poisoned by this taint corrupted for its formal behavior and changed forever as soon as a cylinder was randomly chosen and ready to take on the mantle of Primus the corrupted cylinder challenged him something that was completely antithetical to the behavior of the morons but something that was technically a part of the mold run rules said by the previous Primus the challenge was simple the SEC under who kills the most chaotic creatures in a single week would win the uncorrupted said Cringer traveled as far as limbo to kill us many slants as it could well the corrupted cylinder simply went to by topia and ordered support mystical entire towns of knowns of course the gnomes were not chaotic creatures and was against the rules order subordinates who do this challenge in your stead so the corrupted sequinned are lost but not before a massive coup took place and the corrupted Secunda took an army of thousands away from the plain in setting what would then become a rogue faction this all because of the disruption of the order of things and the chaos the demon Lords bring to pure mathematical perfection the winning Secunda became Primus and within a matter of weeks recovered every single mode run that was lost to the corruption for such is the power of Primus let's talk about mechanist however mechanist is a pretty big plane in fact like most planes it is infinite it is however comprised of many different realms within it like them at planes instead of a bigger one these realms are finite however with beginnings and ends to them Regulus is where the mode runs for aside which consists of a total of 64 massive cogs a number that never act varies the whole of Regulus is then divided into four quarters of 16 cogs each ruled by a secundus each water is then split into four different regions each ruled by a carton finally these regions are then further subdivided into four sectors of a single cog each ruled by an optin the center is a different realm all together with mechanism in this realm the race of the four men reside these are kind of like send towers but instead of horses it's ants with the head of the creature being the head of an ant so it is really just an ant with the chest and arms of a human very extremely bizarre creatures they however much like the mode run also behave in a hive mind mentality lending themselves to the notion of full lawful neutral that the plane obviously suggests the realm is called the center because of the very core of this realm lies a single and normos central cog more than three thousand miles across the central cog supposedly is what gives me movement to all the other costs in the entirety of mekinese it is there where the queen of the four means reside the tsiyon Queen Mother No - is one of the most interesting and somewhat important realms within the multiverse you see have you ever wondered what would happen if two different gods would disagree with one another and I don't mean like an evil God and a good God because at that point it would probably just simply turn to war but when two good gods we don't really want to kill each other this agree on something see that's when the inevitable is come into place the inevitable Tsar impartial judges meant to serve justice in the multiverse and in here in know- is where they are created they were invented by more than the dwarvish god of creation and the former daddy Amos who used to be the god of justice and mercy but was later killed by the very same Orcas coincidence they however created the inevitable to have them settle disputes between the gods their real name is actually the merits or the merits but they are called the inevitable by mortals because of the relentless nature in following the law to the bitter end into all corners of the multiverse there are however multiple types of merits then each one is designed to enforce a very specific type of universal law for example this elekid track and haunt those who flee to avoid punishment Kolia rectus haunt oath breakers and those who break agreements be merit which were the original they haunt those who either extend their life span unnaturally or those who commit extreme acts to keep themselves from death so say someone to sacrifices 200 people just to make sure that they can live longer the Barrett could protect the natural order of things by protecting deities from being killed while also killing mortals who seek to become God the quarren make sure that time and space is not altered like by wish spells or time trouble and lastly the anti-drugs who oppose those who attempt could change deserts into more Burton grounds like through irrigation or trading magic they all look like humanoid constructs like very advanced robots but with powerful magic now that all has been said and done go ahead and pick a gate spell and head on over to mechanist maybe you'll be lucky and find yourself a rogue mode run one that has broken away from premises network legends say that Mode runes are impervious to illusions and invisibility anything that might fool them for they see the truth behind it all the mathematical reality of what is and what isn't so it might be wise to take one of the pet just make sure that it is not corrupted
