Cult Metallican

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed Cosmos.

Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day, the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you.

But I am already saved, for the machine is immortal...

...Even in death, I serve the Omniseer."

The Cult Metallican hails originally from the Archiat Confederacy. They firmly believe that purity and order is the key to a transcended form of life; to achieve this, the replacement of the organic body with mechanical parts is both advised and worshipped. The Cult Metallican is tied very strongly to the Archiat Confederacy, sharing the same roots, although the Farron Imperium adopted the religion for their own.

Those who have made the step to revoke their flesh are called Mechanicus, and are seen as higher beings by the Cult Metallican. Depending on the level of devotion an individual has, they may view beings with remaining flesh as evil, or untrustworthy.
In the eyes of its believers, the ultimate form of being is one who has traversed the cosmic plane, and entered the Celestial Clocktower where the Omniseer and his Metallicans originally went, which founded the cult. Anything or anyone that bears any essence of the Cosmos is praised and/or sought after by Cult Metallican members, and there are those who would travel the world in desperate search for Cosmic relics.
