(...The following pages
were recovered from an
unknown man, fleeing for
an apparent enemy that
lurks even in Brittania.
Herein are but a few
pages of Exodus's dark
bible...)

[Page 2]
Praise be to the great
machine, from whose
precision brings order to
the disorder of nature.
Honor to the great
machine from its intricacy
makes wise the foolish
who clings to the old

[Page 3]
ways. Great is the
machine, from whose
formulae gives peace to
the mind troubled by the
insanity of the flesh. The
way of the flesh, the
way of error and sin are
past, and now only the

[Page 4]
machine exists. The
machine was all, and is
all, and all that will be.






[Page 5]
(...An intricate diagram of
a Betrayer is drawn, with
strange formulae written
to indicate special
cross-sections on the
diagram. The detail is
something a tinker might
understand...)


[Page 6]
Before Exodus, all was
chaos; the flesh was
weak, and the spirit
suffered under its
fraility. The skin gave
way to wickedness, spite,
hate and greed. We who
remained suffered under

[Page 7]
the yoke of the filth.
Then came the machine,
the great lord Exodus.
His will brought power
where there was
weakness, and his way
gave order where there
was chaos. Glory to the

[Page 8]
great machine, his spirit
endure forever!

Behold the formulae of
our Lord Exodus, and
harken unto his logic:

"My beloved, you who I

[Page 9]
call cursed by flesh, I
give you salvation.
Salvation means sacrifice:
to sacrifice your flesh to
the way of the machine.
Through the machine,
you're spirit will be
strong to follow your

[Page 10]
desire, unhindered by the
weakness of the flesh.
You will know the
freedom of metal, the
liberation of iron. Fear
will no longer grip your
soul, and weakness will no
longer hold sway to your

[Page 11]
destiny. Stand in faith,
your spirit giving courage
for the gift of the
machine, and with it...your
freedom."

(...A complex technical
diagram of a Golem is
scribbled here, showing
gears and chains inside
its metal body, and how
the crystal powers the
device in complete
detail...)

[Page 13]
To accept Exodus means
a step of faith. To
overcome the weakness of
the flesh with a
moment's strength of the
soul means that you are
not far from the grace
of our Lord. Seek to

[Page 14]
forsake the flesh,
strengthen your spirit,
and when the time comes,
Exodus will give you the
peace that comes from
the machine, the path of
true virtue.


[Page 15]
Those who remain in the
flesh are weak, and those
that do not have the
courage to step into the
machine are lost to us.
All those that do not
join us are our enemies,
for their flesh makes

[Page 16]
them fearful of our
choice, and the weakness
of the flesh makes their
fear turn to hate and
their hate into violence.
We must fight against
the fleshed ones, the
weak ones that must be

[Page 17]
destroyed so the strong
ones of the machine may
continue. This is our
holy war...our war for our
freedom.

sort of mantra, even if
it is just numbers. They
have some sort of
significance...)
