A mass of gears and cogs, pipes, hissing valves and steam, it is a machine and looks like such, a giant engine of the Industrial Revolution. But it is a creature of the Mansus, and that is reflected in it as well. Pipes connecting in impossible geometries, cogs of unimaginable shapes, a machine that should not work but does.

* '''A Memory of Creation'''
** Principles: Varies
** The Forge still holds within it a deep, abiding sorrow at what it did to its creator. Perhaps, if you tempt it with sufficient Moth and Winter to bring tears to its nonexistent eyes, it might show you a recording it took
** Moth 10, to bring to it memories of its creator’s yearning for a better world, and Winter 2, to recall how those dreams were ended
** Welcoming Words: Before you, with static crackling and a sepia hiss, appears a bright-eyed young man with a wide smile. He isn’t quite physical… rather... “Hello! My studies told me something like this might happen
** Forms
*** He decays every 60s, from a Bright-Eyed Young Man (because his name isn’t really John), to a Sallow Man, to a Mad-Eyed Old Man
*** Bright Eyed: He beams with an optimism and joy and works with vigor and life. All the more tragic.The marvels he makes whirr and jump and spin, almost reflecting the spirit of their creator. (Heart 8, Forge 8)
*** Terror-Eyed: His eyes now flicker from side to side, watching for persecutors that aren’t quite there, that were devoured so long ago, as he was… (Moth 10, Forge 10)
* '''The Engineer'''
** Principles: Forge 12, Heart 12
** Temptations: The Engineer is always busy. If she’s not maintaining the great Array atop the Mansus, there’s always another machine that needs an upgrade and oh! Another great idea that could so easily be implemented! But she occasionally
* '''The Tinker'''
** Principles: Forge 8, Moth 8
** Temptations: The Tinker isn’t one. He is several thousand.
* '''Buzzing Drone'''
** Principles: Edge 8, Heart 8
** Temptations: The Engine doesn’t just loan its creations to anyone! But a substantial enough invocation of Forge and some Heart to prove you can take care of it and it’ll lend you a particularly minor entity
*** No rebellion
** Opening Words:
