Forge Ichadon
A Great forge built by Arkangel.
The construction of a Great Forge has met with rejoicing from the Cult of Mars. Forge Ichadon was lit with a controlled nuclear explosion, cracking the planetary crust to cause a huge geothermal event and in so doing has lit the great foundries and awoken the Machine Spirit.
A titanic entrance made of carved and reinforced marble leads to the munitions labs, manufactorums and forges. On its arch, an engraving in thick gothic script reads:
When you sail amongst the endless stars, when you face the enemy of man, take heart in the knowledge that He is with you. In your weapons, in your ships, in your engines of war. For we are the mailed fist of His wrath and where He reaches, we shall grasp.
Gothic and baroque pillars line the entry, each has a plaque which lists out the following Dynasties in various levels of prominence:
House Dunrega House Borovich House Rexuz House Tollman House Lupus House Kasputin House Victoria House Cerastes
The carvings of each house emblem of each dynasty spiral around the top and bottom of the pillars.
A central platform with a half pillar has carved servo skulls around its top and base with the following inscription in gothic script, circling it:
“Pride is not a sin. Hubris is not a failing. Ambition knows no bounds. The Stars are yours if you have but the strength to grasp them”
