The Gears keep ticking
Political eventThe Corps expected to go back to the status quo after the war and have the Clockwork Gnomes assume their docile peaceful existence. The Clockwork Gnomes meanwhile had other plans. Over the course of the war they used complicated financial obligations and even more complicated legal constructs to outplay the Corps at their own game. They had gained controlling majorities in most of the Corps. This position of power would be used to establish the Clockwork Federation. In the end, at least some of the noble goals of the Convent of Braal would actually be realized in this way.
