The Mechanist Guild

One of the two powerful Guilds ruling over Yuria and Errathor, the Mechanists pride themselves on technological advancement and progress.

Involvement with The Rat Pack
The Rat Pack first encountered the Mechanists after Ranaan drunkenly stole Coda's gun and was arrested for blowing a hole in the roof of a tavern.

Upon hearing of the mysterious firearm, the Mechanists' Guild sent one of its Seekers to investigate the contraption.

Coda revealed that he was a former Yurian Mechanist, who defected and fled the city with his invention rather than hand it over to the Guild. He believes that the Seekers have been sent to hunt him down and retrieve his gun.

The Rat Pack met a group of Mechanists in Ishellan during a quarantine, led by a Warforged priestess named Karla. She was a disciple of the Machine God, fighting to stop a corruption in the city which was infecting the people. During a ritual on the roof of the Ishellan hospital, the Rat Pack witnessed her cause a storm in the sky and call down a giant mechanical eye, which cleansed the area of infection, suggesting that the Machine God is a real physical entity that Karla and her fellow Machine God Clerics serve.

Rumors
Some in Yuria claim that the higher ups in the Mechanist's Guild have truly gone mad.

The city was founded with the belief of Gond held in high respect, that the craft is truly a holy thing. But there is talk that the higher ups worship the machines themselves.

There have been rumors of authorities finding odd shrines with cogs and metal plates placed where the item of worship to a deity would be placed, on top of this, some people believe that the rulers of the Guild have began to modify their bodies, replacing flesh with machine, in the hopes of becoming something else.

Unification
Upon the arrival of Queen Arabella, the two major Yurian Guilds put aside their centuries-long war and unified under the Queen's banner.

The resulting amalgamation, newly titled the Hand of Yuria, now serves Arabella faithfully as Mechanist, Mage and City Guard united as one.
