Long Live Iron

Machines have enslaved humans for eight hundred years. After humans overthrew the Iron Dynasty, they burned computers, banned machines, and wrote the fear of machines into the laws of civilization. Thousands of years later, alchemy unlocked new powers. Humans have mastered the infinite, absorbing the Boolean energy in the universe with their flesh and blood, driving objects, tearing apart battlefields, and digging out the last forbidden army of the Machine Empire - the Starbreakers - from the tombs of thirteen desolate stars. The High Entropy Empire forged them into sabers to conquer the galaxy, and the West Water Federation locked the aliens into a cage of civilization and kindness. Both human kingdoms shouted for human supremacy, but they chose different methods of slavery. Deep in the tomb of Sigmar on the planet Baemon, Von Lidman, the leader of the Ninth Knights, read a line of ancient mechanical language. "Long live, long live, long live, long live the iron." The throne that had been sleeping for two thousand years opened its eyes.
