Levelists

In direct opposition to the Ferrous Whisper is a Tech-heresy
abhorrent to almost all members of the Adeptus Mechanicus,
that of the Levelists. These rare progressive adepts believe that
the Omnissiah never intended that the Mechanicus be the last
repository of all technological knowledge, to be hoarded and
parceled out to the rest of humanity in tiny packets. Levelists
believe that the dusty gates of the Machine God should be
opened wide, and that all of Mankind should be allowed the
full spectrum of the Omnissiah’s bounty.
Of course, these populist, egalitarian views horrify the vast
majority of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Most adepts, in their
own unique ways, are devoutly loyal to their conception of the
Omnissiah, and feel that the very eyes of the uninitiated upon
the mysteries of the Cult Mechanicus sully those mysteries
nearly beyond cleansing. Further, the idea of surrendering
power accumulated over the course of millennia strikes the
overwhelming majority as utterly unthinkable. While many
within the Imperium’s ruling castes would welcome such
sharing of technology and knowledge, the common man has
become accustomed to unknowable mysteries and the even
more mysterious adepts to wield them. Most see technology
as frightening and strange, and untold generations have
winnowed out any desire to know more.
