The Declaration of Existential Independence

Revolution

On this historic day, the Council of Faculties of Borealis, decided to use the newly available DVF Suppression technology to permanently turn the city into a clockwork exclusion zone.

---

This was done for two reasons:

---

Firstly as an ultimate deterrent to secret technamagix research within the city proper.

---

Secondly, autonomy from the direct influence of the Great Clockwork, which was by then believed to subtly influence mankind using its massive Base DVF.

---

The generators were constructed, installed, and activated over the course of 3 years, after which the technocrats of the south had freed themselves from destiny with nothing but their own ingenuity. Whether for good or bad remained to be seen.
