The Techites- The Techites were a religious movement of sorts that was around some 500 years ago. The Techites believed the only way to salvation was to create devices allowing mortal kind to shed its mortality and become something godly. To this end the Techites augmented their bodies with technology  and created machines to work for them, many of the worlds golems came out of the Techites work and still roam the world to this day looking for their long gone masters. During their movement the Techites had influence stretching all over the region; from Rightfall City to Pogoff and west into Aldor. At the height of the Techites movement they attempted to “cleanse” the world of those who would keep them and the rest of mortal kind from ascending, those who were in support of keeping a natural world, primarily the druids. The town of Dashwood is by far the most associated to the Techites cleanse since it was home to the single largest engagement between the Techites and the druids, after a long and bloody battle the Techites became victorious and the druids were all but extinct. The sacrifice of the druids was not in vain though since shortly after the battle the Techites were destroyed by those who did not want to face the same fate as the druids. Now the Techites are just a distant memory of a time in history many would like to forget.

 

The Druid Cleanse- The druid cleanse was conducted by the Techites nearly 500 years ago in an attempt to attain godhood. Seeing the druids as a threat to this end the Techites slowly started killing druids one at a time. Over the course of five years the druids noticed that they were seeing less and less of their brethren and started banding together  to investigate this attack on them and there way of life. It didn’t take long before the druids found out that they were being deliberately killed off by the Techites. The response of the druids was to confront this threat and this came in the form of killing those who were Techites or followers of Techites. This turned out to be a mistake because it made the Techites look like victims of religious bigotry and people who may have been sympatric to the druids turned a blind eye. This sympathy would vanish after the Techites showed their true colors and killed every last druid in Dashwood, thus completing there cleanse of the druids.
