Alium Union

Among the most conservative and traditional adepts of
the Mechanicus Calixis are those who claim membership
in the Alium Union, the Calixian chapter of the Imperio-cognosticians.
The members of the Union staunchly believe
that those who toil quietly, for the betterment of the Omnissiah,
can serve the Quest for Knowledge just as well as the more
vainglorious adepts who dash about the stars seeking ancient
secrets. Members of the Alium Union see great benefit to the
Omnissiah and, indeed, the Imperium itself, in the daily duties
every member of the Mechanicum, from the High Fabricator
of the Lathes to the lowliest menial, performs.
Ironically, there is a backlash effect occurring on Lathe-Hadd, in direct reaction to the grinding silence the hubris of
the planet’s magos has brought about. In this environment,
the Alium League has gained support and sympathy from
many divergent quarters. Seeing the Silent Forge as the price
paid for overreaching, these members of the Union seek to reestablish
the credibility of their home through small tasks of
renovation and production, hoping to bring the planet back
into service one small manufactorum at a time. Although only
a small number of adepts on Lathe-Hadd are openly members
of the Alium Union, there is more and more support within
the Halls of Ignavus for this humble approach.
