The Machine Spirit
Aspect of Verenha
A machine cultist takes a moment to commune with the artificial intelligence, granted by the machine spirit, which resides in the augmentations with which she has replaced the entire upper half of her head. Her brain now occupies a vat of glowing liquid that she carries on her back.

Description

The Machine Spirit is a product of Verenha’s fascination with the mechanical innovations of mortals in the material planes. It is said that any suitably advanced machine is a home for the bodiless machine spirit, which animates and drives the components of the machine.

Followers

Followers of the way of the Machine Spirit are known to treat machines as if they were living beings, for they truly believe that they are alive. It is not uncommon for such believers to mark the “births” and “deaths” of machines through ritual practices.

Many who venerate the Machine Spirit may also seek to enhance themselves with artificial components, to become more machine-like, so that the Machine Spirit might bestow upon them the great honour of occupying their bodies.
