GM NPC Fortius

Fortius, Xenophobe Necro-mechanic Ordo Artesan
-Forge master of smelting pits.
-Xenophobe, bellows righteous litanies of hate while smelting remnants of Xenos culture in furnace of Avaritas space station.

Follower of Scions of the Iron Sphere

The Scions of Iron Sphere have a vision of progress and unity for humankind. Through Imperium wide forced cybernetic augmentation, we transcend our limitations as a species, forging a new era of strength and resilience. Embrace the fusion of man and machine, as we unlock our true potential. Together, we shall rise above the frailty of the flesh and become the pinnacle of evolution. Join us in the march towards a future where humanity reaches unprecedented heights through the power of cybernetics. Embrace augmentation and seize your destiny as a member of the glorious Scions of Iron Sphere.

Note 1: “limitations as a species” is borderline heresy as Imperial creed dictates that the humans are born as the Emperor’s image and we are perfect as a biological beings.

Note 2: “and become the pinnacle of evolution” shows influence by controversial fringe theory called the evolution and it is frowned upon by scientific majority of the Imperium to whom the proof of intelligent design is overwhelming.

“It is my duty as Tech-Priest to annihilate every last remnant of inferior and abhorring xenos culture for the glory of the Machine God.”

The Smelting Furnace of Avaritas

Operational on the industrial star fortress Avaritas claimed by the Chorda dynasty, overseen by Adeptus Mechanicus Necro-Mechanic Fortius, is an imposing structure that combines elements of Imperial architecture and ancient machinery. The furnace stands as a dark and formidable edifice, exuding an aura of both ancient tradition and advanced technology.

The exterior of the furnace is adorned with intricate details, featuring ornate skull motifs, stylized cogwheels, and archeotech glyphs of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The overall design embodies the grim and foreboding aesthetic of the Martian puritanism.

Within the furnace, a labyrinthine network of industrial pipes, conduits, and walkways intertwines, carrying molten metals, ores, and various materials. The machinery consists of massive, hissing furnaces, conveyor belts, and high quality servitors tirelessly tending to the process.

As the furnace operates, intense heat radiates from its core, illuminating the surroundings with an eerie glow. The smelting process is accompanied by a symphony of clanking gears, rhythmic pulsations, and hydraulic hisses, creating an industrial orchestra of sound. The released energy is harnessed and channeled through a complex system of conduits, converting it into a usable power source for the star fortress.

Binharic hymns echoing throughout the smelting furnace resonate with the themes dear to Fortius. They speak of the exaltation in the annihilation of xenos crystalline abominations, capturing the triumph of purity over the perversity. The hymns also exalt the cybernetic augmentation of weak humans, celebrating the transformation from fragility to strength, from flesh to steel. The vocals blend techna-lingua chants with electronically modulated binharic blurts, creating a haunting and oppressing atmosphere.

The Crucible of the Smelting furnace

The Crucible, the heart of the smelting furnace, is an awe-inspiring chamber designed with STC engineering and attention to detail. It serves as the focal point for the process of melting down materials.

Constructed from a combination of heat-resistant alloys such as adamantium and ceramite, the Crucible possesses remarkable durability, allowing it to withstand the extreme temperatures generated during smelting. Its robust walls are intricately crafted with wards against heat, fortified with reinforcement to contain the intense heat within while protecting the surrounding components.

Above the Crucible, a complex network of machinery and partially transparent pipes extends, resembling pulsating veins that carry plasma energy. Automated conveyor belts, composed of reinforced metal plates, traverse the chamber, guided by intricate mechanisms. They efficiently transport the materials to be smelted, whether they are alien crystalline cultural relics or mineral ores extracted from asteroids.

Robotic arms equipped with specialized tools and magnetic grips work in harmony with the conveyor belts. These mechanical appendages meticulously disassemble, separate, and discard the ores and the crystals from the debris, ensuring that only the desired materials find their way into the Crucible. The careful and constant monitoring of these mechanisms guarantees precision and efficiency throughout the process.

Once the materials are deposited into the Crucible, the trans-formative power of the furnace intensifies. Surrounding the Crucible, a ring of powerful plasma torches comes to life, emitting fierce beams of scorching heat. These torches envelope the contents of the Crucible, liquefying and disintegrating the relics and ores with 99.87S efficiency.

As the materials are processed within the Crucible, the released energy is not wasted. A complex system of conduits strategically captures and channels the energy, converting it into a usable power source for the space station. This ensures that the destruction and purification taking place within the Crucible contribute to the overall functionality and sustenance of the station.

Furthermore, the Crucible holds significance beyond its practical purpose. It is utilized, when necessary, for sacred metallurgic rituals, such as Smelting, Tempering, Purification, and Abolition. These rituals, carried out under the watchful eyes of the adeptus mechanicus necro-mechanic Fortius, serve as solemn reminders of the power and reverence held by the tech-priests with the act of reshaping and refining matter.
