SPOILER Alright Hear Me Out...

Corkains are going to make cyborgs.

How do I know? Well, as we all know, each province is said to contain a fountain of youth, Gavel's being the Lazarus Pit while Wynn's is... The Fountain of Youth. Corkus has plans to become a province, yet they lack a clear and required feature. Now, here's the thing, each fountain contains the power to cure sickness and grant immortal life/resurrect the dead. Humans and Villagers are both prone to sickness and, ultimately, death. Do you know what isn't? Robots. The only way robots die is if they are murdered in cold oil by the surrounding Corkains.

Now I know you must be wondering, "Where do the cyborgs come in?" Well, dear friends, allow me to explain. Cyborgs are made by integrating robotic parts into a human body, leaving varying degrees of humanity left. Some still act completely human, while others are monotone and robotic. It depends on the media. One of the most common portrayals of cyborg origins, however, is to save people that have been in horrific accidents. If metal can save a common man, comman if you will, from death by car crash, whose to say that electromagic can't save a comman from old age? The human nervous system runs on electricity and we have machines designed to save lives through the use of sending electricity into the human body. This brings me to my next topic.

Electromagic can be considered similar to bloodbending. Think about it, bloodbending is the use of waterbending to control the water in someone else's body, effectively puppeteering them. Electromagic is, well, magic involving electricity. Who's to say we can't have a secret puppetmaster cult of electromages? Who's to say...

Wait.

Who's to say The Factory isn't Corkus' fountain of youth? After all, the robots are created there, and at least one of them is sentient, capable of discerning right from wrong! They have created life, Cerid created life! No man could ever possibly create a new species of sentient life, only a god could do such a thing! Cerid is a god!

Welcome to Ceridism, worshipping the new god Cerid. We have cookies.

 

Well, I guess we destroyed the Corkians only chance at immortality.

 

Uhhh, Corkian cyborgs already exist though

 

Somebody watched Ex Machina...

 

Pfff ceridism, and only cookies you have to offer? HA! for those who believe in our religion, siegfriedism, we have cookies shaped in the head of our god for only 10 emerald blocks!

 

Golems.

 

GENIUS

 

Sorry already a part of the Hants cult

 

Yes, Adamastor

 

I was going to mention Adamastor, but there's also a few Corkians with robot arms and stuff

 

Pretty sure those are just suits

So really the only living example of a cyborg in Corkus is Adamastor.
What's the lore behind him anyway? Is there any at all?

He has backup cores though so no worries :)

 

I was going to give a sarcastic reply but to be honest, I've got nothing

THAT'S IT! Every single dungeon has backup cores! They were all made by Corkus! That's how we can challenge them multiple times! You're a genius, Potato!

 

Just as expected from a lowly ceridist, siegfried forever!
