			=== Aut'akh and Gender ===
			Aut’akh conceptions of gender are vastly divergent from the ordinary Unathi view, and in many places much more influenced by human understanding than other religions. Most Aut’akh communes hold gender to be a much more individual matter than other faiths do, being a matter of personal choice among the faithful - though one that shamans will offer consultation and guidance in. Some Aut’akh, in particular among the Luthien Pact, have come to view notions of gender as antiquated things of the flesh, and that through their cybernetic upgrades they have become something that is warrior, healer, fisher and something entirely greater than the separate sum of their parts. Generally, the traditional roles and societal structure still hold in communes on Moghes and Ouerea, while those outside Unathi space tend to have adopted more human ideas of gender as something separate from one’s position in society.

	=== Damage from the War ===		=== Damage from the War ===
	The ~~Contact War left some unathi with permanent scars~~, ~~both emotional~~ and ~~physical~~. ~~Immediately after~~ the ~~war~~, ~~prosthetics~~ were ~~widely unheard of~~ and ~~unavailable to~~ the ~~populace~~. ~~Not only were~~ they ~~somewhat expensive to construct~~, ~~but importing~~ and ~~delivering them became an entirely new set~~ of ~~obstacles, leaving these vital replacements largely unattainable by unathi for a long time~~.		The scholar Emzal Paossini was not a warrior - they spent most of their life as an archaeologist, and were one of the foremost scholars of the ancient Mador. When the Contact War began, they were on Ouerea, having leapt at the chance to observe the human and Skrell cultures that had taken root on the planet. In various memoirs, they have recounted the Ouerean experience of the Contact War - watching Moghes burn from afar. This disillusioned many of the Unathi on Ouerea, seeing the Hegemony and the Traditionalists tearing the world apart, all over who would be king of the ruins.

	~~Strong hatred~~ from ~~some warriors was reserved as a result of the end of~~ this ~~bitter~~, ~~destructive conflict. Their resentment for losing~~ the ~~war and feeling emasculated coalesced into fervent despising~~ of ~~any kind~~ of ~~government: the Izweski for winning, and the former Coalition for failing~~ to protect them. These scant, former warriors, scarred by their losses, remained largely in the Wasteland. They received help where plausible, especially from unathi helping with relief efforts on Ouerea.		Aut'akh was shaped from this, the sight of how power had led the rulers of Moghes to madness and slaughter - which would only be reinforced with the Hegemony retaking control of Ouerea. Immediately, the new culture growing there was crushed, forced into the old feudal ways that had damned one world already. Eventually, they would begin to gather others who thought that way - some of their fellow scientists, warriors left scarred from the Contact War, Ouereans who resented the Hegemony occupation - and formed a community which would become the foundations of Aut'akh.

	~~=== Arrival of Aliens ===~~
	~~Some human~~ and ~~skrell groups started raising awareness of the situation on the nuclear~~-~~blighted planet; while some saw this as a charitable pursuit to aid devastated communities, others recognized the chance for profit. The Hegemon of the time, Hegemon S'kresti, though siding~~ with and welcoming these foreigners, decided to keep an arm's length after the immediate repercussions of the Contact War, and kept any outside groups to Ouerea. He required their relief to be done through Ouerea and sent to the Hegemony ~~after as a simple precaution.~~

	~~A vessel from the Alliance was one~~ of ~~the first to stop at~~ Ouerea ~~and begin their relief efforts~~. ~~However~~, ~~NanoTrasen saw~~ the ~~potential of Ouerea as a staging ground for~~ new ~~business, and during this period of recovery from near-extinction~~, the ~~mega corporation helped supply them with materials to make more prosthetics for unathi in need. NanoTrasen~~ had ~~only~~ one ~~stipulation: unathi who take up these prosthetics come work for them until their debts for these new limbs are paid off~~, ~~after or during which~~ they would ~~be deposited on Ouerea. As a result~~ of ~~this promise~~, ~~Wastelanders were given an opportunity to leave~~ the ~~forsaken Touched Lands and become whole again~~, ~~all~~ the ~~while bringing their ideologies with them after a few years to the fledgling planet.~~

	~~This was the introduction to unathi regarding the capabilities of technology interfacing with living beings. The abilities of these transhumanists dumb~~-~~founded some unathi and frightened others. A few of the unathi that lost the war had a revelation: the flesh, in its current form, was easily corrupted, frail,~~ and ~~weak. It cannot heal itself after~~ a ~~major loss, and can~~ become ~~sick due to~~ the ~~work~~ of ~~malign spirits. Thus, these embittered veterans became the first of the radical~~ Aut'akh.

	=== A Cult is Born ===		=== A Cult is Born ===
	Led by the newly reborn paradigm [[Notable Unathi#Emzal Paossini, Creator of Paradigms\|Emzal Paossini]], Ouerea proved to be an effective staging ground for the budding cult. With their fascination with the old ways of Sinta'Mador, paired with this new technology and "golems of metal," Paossini combined their knowledge of the two into the first understanding of the Aut'akh cult. Due to conservative views being softened, most people of the planet did not actively work to remove or punish the first few of this religion for their ideals. The founders chose a spot to settle in a relatively discrete corner of the world: Hinshaw Valley, commonly known now as Aut'akh Valley. Construction started on a settlement by the more laborious ~~unathi~~, while the rest went into nearby towns to preach the word of their revelation.

However, after a small handful of roboticists and zealots were recruited, they quickly taught each other the fundamentals for either role: the shamans taught these mechanics essentials for being a pillar of faith, while mechanics began the arduous process of teaching biomechanical engineering.

	Unathi originally thought prosthetics to be helpful and game-changing: who wouldn't want to be in a fully capable body? A large portion of ~~unathi~~, Izweski or traditionalists, were scarred by the Contact War. This was originally seen as the solution to restoring the workforce. The negative perception of Aut'akh largely led to the Sk'akh church decrying the use of prosthetics, claiming they "poisoned the soul and caused irredeemable damage." The church viewed and still views the Aut'akh communes as a threat to their power. Through talks with Hegemon S'kresti, they managed to convince the leader of the time to speak out against their use as well based on religious grounding, associating these "robotic replacements as a sign of the Aut'akh cult".

	Sinta’Mador (or just Mador) are an extinct ~~species~~ of Sinta who lived in the north ~~pole~~ of Moghes until around ~~200,000~~ years ago~~. It’s unclear when mador split from modern unathi, and most archaeological sites and museums were tragically lost in the Contact War, with surviving evidence in the hands of the Aut’akh~~. What is known is that mador could not survive outside the rain forests at the poles as their bodies would rapidly dehydrate and they would die. Before their extinction, they were technologically advanced for the time with an understanding of ~~conductivity and~~ masonry, ~~with the one surviving city found under the ice by the Aut’akh believed~~ to ~~have the capacity to house 75,000 mador~~. What surviving cultural and religious elements about them has been re-appropriated by the Aut’akh.		Sinta’Mador (or just Mador) are an extinct group of Sinta who lived in the north polar region of Moghes until around three thousand years ago. What is known is that mador could not survive outside the rain forests at the poles as their bodies would rapidly dehydrate and they would die. Before their extinction, they were technologically advanced for the time with an understanding of masonry, steelworking and primitive engineering - having used volcanic hot springs to heat their cities. What surviving cultural and religious elements about them has been re-appropriated by the Aut’akh.

	=== The Fall of Sinta'Mador ===		=== The Fall of Sinta'Mador ===
	~~With climate change rapidly cooling and drying the poles and unathi migrating north into the newly temperate regions,~~ the ~~mador's original,~~ unknown ~~religions~~ were ~~rapidly subsumed by~~ a ~~single faith~~. ~~They believed that their god Xiaciapot’ele had died~~ and ~~that his energy was dissipated into~~ the ~~world~~, ~~throwing it into flux~~. ~~The faith believed that they needed to tap into~~ this ~~essence and utilize it themselves~~ to ~~reverse~~ the ~~apocalypse they were facing~~. ~~The mador retreated into subterranean temples~~ they ~~dug out~~ as the ~~rain forests died in~~ the ~~rapidly cooling climate~~. ~~They used all~~ their ~~available skills~~ to ~~try~~ and ~~"restart"~~ the ~~world. It lead~~ them ~~to plan and build constructs and Sepulchres~~ out of ~~stone and conductive metal to supplement~~ their ~~dwindling numbers~~ and ~~heal their dying people. They believed these devices could be powered by runes. These devices failed~~, ~~and~~ the ~~other rituals were unable to prevent catastrophic climate change that turned~~ the ~~polar regions into ice. The last mador, sealed away~~ in ~~their last refuges, slowly starved or died from dehydration~~.		The nature of the Mador is largely unknown. Modern scholars debate if they were another species entirely, or simply a culturally isolated group of Unathi. Ancient poetry from the [[Tza Prairie]] makes mention of wars with an unknown northern power described as "corpse-scaled devils" and "the hatchlings of Travakh, who sing as they kill." Whether this refers to the Mador remains unclear. Archaeological studies of the Mador remain limited, with few intact ruins having been found. Emzal Paossini was one of the leading experts on the Mador before they moved to Ouerea, and many rites and rituals practiced by these enigmatic ancients would be reappropriated as part of the Aut'akh faith.

			What caused the fall of the Sinta'Mador is unknown. Many Aut'akh believe that, limited as they were by their primitive technology, evil spirits set into their society, leading them to chaos and ruin. The stance among Unathi archaeologists is largely that a period of global cooling isolated the Mador, preventing them from roaming beyond the confines of their heated vault-cities, until they slowly ran out of food. Much of their culture and society is shrouded in mystery, with many Aut'akh treating them as a race of enlightened ancients, who understood the true nature of the world - a belief with little grounding in fact.

	=== Mador Runes ===		=== Mador Runes ===
	Runes and rituals are a large part of Aut’akh culture, with the origins of their runes coming from the ancient runic language uncovered in the Temple of the Mador that is now the homeland of the Polar Commune. The Aut’akh believe these runes have intrinsic, ancient power in them. When assembled properly, these runes are capable of amplifying or channeling the power of an individual’s soul into whatever they are crafted on. It is believed these runes can allow inanimate objects to house a soul; this is where their heavy belief in the perfection of augments and prosthetics comes from. This also lends credence among Aut’akh that synthetics are capable of housing a soul too, should they be imbibed with similar magic, as reincarnation is a common belief among them.

	The lack of extensive evidence on per-historical use of the runes has not stopped modern Aut’akh from claiming entire systems of divination from what few examples are available in the Mador ruin, based on the reconstructed names of the runes and additional outside influence. The runic language has also been translated into a coding language, which is what they use to wire their prosthetics. This has the added benefit of keeping a large sum of communications and coding tactics within the commune difficult to replicate by outsiders, and renders most of their technology and augments incompatible with the technology of the other factions.

In doing so, the radical religion has stepped away from the traditions and practices of unathi society, though almost all of them struggle to truly leave them behind. The biggest point of contention for Aut'akh is the clan hierarchy. These Aut'akh believe the spirits all view each other as kin should they act kindly to one another, and thus Aut'akh view each commune being closer to one big clan. After this, a majority of Aut'akh believe the caste system to be flawed. Simply put, it is used to keep power over others, and spirits do not have any rules or advisors they have to listen to, according to Aut'akh. The result is Aut'akh avoiding authority wherever they can, especially when it is used to their detriment. Lastly, a smaller number of these ~~unathi~~ dislike how society ostracizes those that do not fit into its rigid ideals. Guwan and those that feel they do not truly fit within ~~the~~ norms for ~~men or women flock to~~ Aut'akh, which only helps bolster their numbers.
