#the LOOK of vitro’s face when fcg said he was a divine practitioner

[revvethasmythh]

I think there is a lot of importance to the fact that FCG, an aeormaton from the Age of Arcanum, was designed (as far as we know) to be a practitioner of divine magic. Like, considering how superior everyone in Avalir felt about Zerxus’ status as a paladin who worshipped no god, I cannot imagine what an achievement for Aeor it would have been to not only have clerics on hand with no connection to any deity, but that these cleric were not even flesh and blood.

Per the Care and the Culling, all we’ve heard is that the aeormatons used for it were “caretaker” bots, but Vitro Isham did look visibly taken aback when FCG told him that he practiced divine magic, indicating that this was not common, at least not from what modern Exandrians know of Aeor. That would make FCG pretty important, wouldn’t it? I mean, he basically proves the conceit of Aeor’s ideology, in this case, at least in their eyes—that the gods are unnecessary, that you don’t need to worship them to wield their power. It does make me question whether or not FCG was originally designed for the Care and the Culling or if he was altered for it, as Vitro suggested. And even then his target must have been of immense importance to be sent a cleric bot in the middle of the Age of Arcanum
