Apostate Virindi

== General ==
A Virindi Renegade Faction, lead by "The Consul" 2009/03 Who Watches the Virindi? - Teaser
Long after the New Directive had been beaten by the Isparians, the Renegade Virindi determined that Levistras failed in its construction of a New Singularity because it was unaware of the spatial and temporal potential of the energy contained within the ore used. Levistras sought to build a New Singularity from imperfect materials. The Consul and its peers calculated that a mass of Aetherium would retain and diffuse portal energy at a rate a thousand times more efficient than Pyreal. It was determined that a large array of Aetherium could serve as the center of critical mass for the New Singularity.2009/08 Reclamation - Apostate Excavation Master's Orders 2009/08 Reclamation - Rollout Article 
After the Virindi discovered the use of Aetherium for establishing a New Singularity, they called upon their former allies, the Renegade Tumeroks and Lugians: the Gotrok Lugians, to direct the excavations and the Hea Tumerok to guard the mining. 2009/05 Secrets of the Apostates Rollout Article Preliminary investigations also revealed that the artifacts 2009/08 Reclamation Teaser at the site containing Aetherium were remnants of a long-thought-vanished race of mechanical entities from an unknown world. The Virindi also believed that, if these entities could be reproduced or reconstructed, they would make superior servitors and guardians. These subverted Gear Knights were seen as a possibility to replace the Renegade Tumeroks and Lugians, since the Renegades were deemed as "too unreliable". To this goal, they constructed a beacon to lure a delegation of Gear Knight.2009/09 Cogs in the Machine - Teaser

*The Apostate Virindi can sometimes, but not always be distinguished from the "classic" Directive and New Directive Virindi because of the different Artwork on their mask. They do, however, just like the Martinate Virindi, wear the classic Virindi "cloak" (and not the more chaotic cloak of Aerbax's Virindi).
