## History

The **Church of the God of Steam and Machinery** was founded in the 4th Epoch after the birth of the God of Steam and Machinery, who was originally known as the God of Craftsmanship. Unlike the other orthodox churches, it was formed in the 4th Epoch rather than the 3rd Epoch.

The domain of this church is in Intis Republic, along with the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

They were also one of the main religion in Loen Kingdom, along with the Church of the Evernight Goddess and the Church of the Lord of Storms, but during the world war, the **Church of the God of Steam and Machinery** was on Intis Republic's side.

After Loen Kingdom won the war, the Church was expelled from Loen as a result. They can still preach there like the Church of the Earth Mother, but they had to bring all their Sealed Artifacts from grade 2 and above, as well as high sequence Beyonders out of the kingdom within the time limit. In the future, they could only maintain a small number of cathedrals, just like the Church of the Earth Mother in Loen.

If it weren’t for the fact that there were too many people who believed in the God of Steam and Machinery, and some of them being key figures in the reconstruction efforts after the war, the church might not have been able to retain such treatment. Similarly, a smaller number of cathedrals only required a small number of Machinery Hivemind members.

With the withdraw of the Church's top members, there has been a shortage of official Beyonders in Loen. Although the Church of the Evernight Goddess and the Church of the Lord of Storms have also recruited a group of Machinery Hivemind members who don’t wish to leave Loen, and the lower-ranking clergymen, they are ultimately just a minority.
