The Machine Orthodoxy

This article is a stub. You can help 1d4chan by expanding it

Led by Elesh Norn, the white-aligned faction believes that Phyrexia must adhere to the teachings of the Father of Machines. They intend to indoctrinate everyone about the truth, even if it means tearing them limb from limb and reattaching the parts into a creation that is worthy of Phyrexia. They are dogmatic, hierarchal, and orthodox in their methods.

Sects

The Apostles of Karn: The Sect of the Creator's Destiny

The Apostles of Karn want a leader that rules all of Phyrexia, and have chosen Karn to take on the role of Father of Machines. Karn really wasn't up to it, so they acted as his jailers, simultaneously grooming him to take on his role as Father of Machines. Considering Karn had phyrexian taint purged from him after this sect was revealed, it is probably safe to assume it doesn't have as much influence as it once had, assuming it still exists at all.

The Flesh Singularity: The Sect of Total Unity

All Will Be One.

This sect wants to literally combine ALL life together into one giant, phyrexian organism. It may be worth noting that the name hasn't translated from phyrexian to english quite well. "Flesh" in this context includes both organic and inorganic material. While the Machine Orthodoxy in general hates skin, this sect hates it the most. Infact this sect might even fear it to some extent.

The Porcelain Legion: The Sect of the Ideal Form

Where the Flesh Singularity wants to turn all life into a single Phyrexian organism, The Porcelain Legion wants to turn all life into a Phyrexian super organism. The Porcelain Legion views 'the Ideal Form' as the optimal form of a Phyrexian for that Phyrexian's job.
