Known history

The Age of Reason (AoR) cabal are first mentioned in the anals of the Armidale concillium in 1888, when they created something called the 'Era of Providence.

1912: They reject the Atlantean orders entirely and both leave the concillium and Armidale, leaving the Era of Providence behind. 1940: They return to Armidale, seeking a meeting, but they are denied an audience. Again, they leave. Two weeks later the Era of Providence predicts an attack by the Seers of The Throne. The attack comes four days early, catching the concillium off-guard, and resulting in four deaths. The Era of Providence is decommissioned and consigned to the Vault. 1990: Strange robots are seen in the region in 1990 1998: Scions of Reason return to Armidale under the alias 'The Age of Reason'. They claim new leadership and a commitment to the principles expressed by the Guardians of the Veil. 2002: The Age of Reason offer to fix the broken EoP. Hierarch Icarus denies this request. 2003: The Age of Reason gives a lecture on Paradox to the concillium. Hierarch Icarus throws the Age of Reason out during the Q&A session for "subversion".

2013: Their shared resonance, Icy Mechanics, is linked to the deaths of the entire concillium
