Mythology & Lore
After their near victory over the Southerners, now Prehnites, the people of the North, now Chalcedonians, were more convinced than ever before that only technological innovation would provide them the edge they required to subdue and overcome their savage neighbors. It is said that a mighty and powerful figure wreathed in smoke and wielding a hammer revealed himself to a particularly loyal citizen of Chalcedon and identified himself as Gond, the god of innovation, invention, and technology. He promised to unveil a myriad of unimaginable secrets to the Chalcedonian, a man named Theophrastus von Hohenheim, if he swore to spread Gond's teachings and build his church. Hohenheim upheld his end of the bargain, establishing the The Church of Gond and becoming its first Forgemaster. While no one knows what secrets Gond revealed to Hohenheim, he was instrumental in the development of a number of groundbreaking discoveries and inventions that helped launch Chalcedon into the modern era.
