Chromanufactoms

Chromanufactoms are an innovative technology created by the The Neoferrium Securuim of karvend, which allows for the mass production and generation of chroma. They are created using the flesh of a caster which is altered by vivamancers to induce growth and allowing for the ability to shape it. Finished Chromanufactoms where imbued with the bright collected by Karvends Pillars. Devices created to go beyond the world pattern into the atmosphere and collect the bright directly from the Everbright . This advancement allows for the powering of city wide patterns/weaves which control and run the the city(s) and its infrastructure.
There are five chromanufactoms which are the originators to this technology. Named after the individuals who donated to the project. Those being:
1. Ilvoronin Vivianias: A once powerful arch mage who was invested in the research and development of this technology to the extent that he donated and invested both his flesh and wealth into the project sadly he passed away at the age of 187 before the project reached its heights. He was buried in a tomb created for him located under the chromanufactom created using his organic material. His Chroma signature is a grey green brown.
2. Ibessis Delozier: A rationalist actor and singer song writer. First to use acoustic wave boxes or caster boxes as a medium for her art and work. Her talking shows were listened to by millions, leading her to become a household name and the most well known and loved star in her time. She is most well known for her dazzling stage shows where she used her chroma as a prop. She would during a show release her chroma or become a beacon and use it to light up chroma immures. Her chroma signature being a pinkish blue gold. She decided to donate her organic material after breaking her leg. Before her surgery she told the shaper to remove some flesh from her leg, so she could donate it to the project. She believed this gift to her people/fans and to the city would forever immortalize her name. Where her fame and beauty would fade this would be eternal. She performed three shows at the chromanofactom created using her material before she retired from the publics eye.
3. Jade Anfinrud: A university student in the city who donated his material for a stiffen. Used to pay his way through school. He is now a marked trust binder for the Arte Sreni Cambio banking guild. His Chroma signature is a blue with red threads.
4. Lady Erana Dragotlovic: A weaver who is part of the Neoferrium Securuim. She was one of the key figures in the construction of Karvends weave/pattern system. After the destruction of the original one during the Persone dimenticate uprising. This event led to mass chaos, routing and rioting throughout the city for without the protection of the cities weave bright fall storms would cause mass death and sickness. Without the protection from the cities prime weave granted from the divine the storms could penetrate and effect the city and its inhabitants causing bright sickness. As part of the reconstruction efforts Erana Dragotlovic and other such individuals worked tirelessly to rebuild the city and part of the effort she donated organic material to the project. Sadly she was bedridden and unable to make it to see the projects completion because she was effected by bright sickness, protecting an orphanage from the effects of a bright fall storm To this day she remains ill and unable to leave her home. Her chroma signature is purple with silver throughout it.
5. The wanderer there is almost nothing known about this donator. He was said to donate some flesh for some monetary funds. The project managers claim that he was an average looking guy with long unkempt hair and beard with unusual shaggy clothing. They had him prove that he was a caster by having him release his chroma into some chroma immures. Where his chroma was measured and it was found that he indeed did have a chroma signature. But unlike any signature recorded, his signature was similar to neutral/colorless casters signatures, but he did have a slight signature allowing for the attunement of even already attuned weaves. They have come to call him a transparent caster. What has come of him is unknown investigators where hired to find any information about his location and situation but nothing came from the investigations. His story has become romanticized over the years with authors writing fictional stories about his life. The Chromanufactom created using his organic material is used as a back up power source powering areas of the city when another chromanufactom is down and or being serviced.

Utility

Used to power the weaves that control and keep the city of Karvend running. Special cabling/tubing transfers the produced chroma to parts of the city where it is used to power weaves/patterns that power and or control aspects of the city. Chroma is the life blood and fuel of the city and of most technologies in the modern era.
Their size has been significantly decreased and a protective shielding or container has been developed allowing for ever more growing uses. One use of this technology is to power the coastal cannons on the sea of lost stars. This technology has also advanced Aeronautical technology significantly leading to cheap production and upkeep of airships/aeronautical crafts and similar technologies.

Manufacturing

Created from flesh donated or appropriated from a mage/ weaver. Vivamancers induce growth of a cellular bud onto a semi permanent scaffold structure. A portion the chromanufactoms own produced chroma is used to power there own wards. These wards are their to safe guard the chromanufactoms from outside manipulation and sabotage  such as from unassociated casters and or other worldly entities and other activities.
Almost all Chromanufactoms are sourced from the five originals. Through a process called budding in which vivamancers cultivate/induce cellular growth. The cultivated cellular bundles or buds are then transplanted into a nutrient growth bath. When they are ready they are transplanted into a scaffolding network in which they are then grown around. When fully grown they resemble large walls of flesh with metal cable or flex protruding from it.
The bright collected from the cities Pillars would be transfered to the Chromanofactoms which were imbued with it. This allowed them to produce chroma in large amounts. The chromanofactoms would glow with the light of the chroma they produced. The color of this chroma is the same as the chroma signatures of the casters signature they were created from. As well as any weaves/patterns powered from the chroma produced by them. 
A specially trained group is housed and or on call in the facilities housing the chromanofactoms. There jobs are to care for and service any damage and or mutation the chromanofactoms may face. Special shapers act as doctors and surgens for the flesh of the chromanofactoms, and vivamancers shape and grow its flesh as well as mend any damaged tissue. The other members take care of other essential activities. The caretaking crew rotate out every couple of days. All casters who work with the technology has a mark of trust making mind controlling and or manipulation of them very hard and unlikely. All non casters agree to be under surveillance and their activities are watched and documented closely. All members carry special implants which indicate their location and or activities and act as their key to the facilities.

Inventor(s)

The Neoferrium Securuim. This innovation and their monopoly on it is what raised the neoferrium Securuim to positions of power. Eventually leading up to them becoming the ruling party of karvend they are in modern times.

Access & Availability

Chromanufactoms research and creation is a closely held secret as a result only allied nations or organizations have any access to this technology. In order to gain access to this technology the nation/organizations have to agree to stipulations those being. 1. Only individuals from the Neoferrium Securuim may interact with the chromanofactom during all and any situation.  2. Any individual or organization who attempts to learn/steal the secrets of this technology will be punished to the full extend of the law and will be handed over to karvend officials for sentencing and punishment.   3. Karvent holds the right to terminate any chromanofactoms for any reason.

Complexity

In theory though not confirmed chromanufactoms are a simple technology. Its requires the shaping and growing of donated flesh and the instruments to keep that flesh alive and healthy. It requires tubing and cables to transfer nutrient mixture into the form of the chromanofactom and the movement of any waste product outside of it. The cabling is used to move the produced chroma to other facilities. Which eventually is used to power karvends weave/pattern system.

Discovery

Discovered when the Neoferrium Securuim where researching ways to expand on a casters chroma reserve. Though their original persuits were changed with the uprising. In the reconstructionist efforts they found new uses for their newly developed technology. They used the chromanofactoms to power the cities new weave/patterns and later to power other such systems which allows for the powering of the city and its infrastructures.
