The AoR are an antagonist faction resident within Armidale. Why use vulgar magic, masked behind mundane technology. They have railguns, robots and really really scary basements full of failed experiments. If they get beyond startup company stage, perhaps they will form a technocracy.

"We first learned of them when we found this letter on the wall of our concillium, next to the hierarch's chair." -S7
 
 
 
The Age of Reason want all mankind to ascend by introducing Supernal concepts into the fallen world using mundane science, and, if it comes to that they're prepared to fight the Atlantean mages to do it. When Seeker7 and other mages used magic publically, Seeker7 had his knee shot out by a sniper in the Mall of Armidale in broad daylight. Two months later, Seeker7 was murdered with a double shot to the head. The assassin was tracked walking to a dumpster in town, where is fell apart into a collection of cheap circuit boards with a plastic latex skin covering.
 
 
 
 
 
The original letter is reprinted here:
 
 
 
Followers of the Atlantean traditions of Armidale,
 
 
 
We regret to inform you of the unfortunate situation that we find ourselves in. We understand that many of your colleagues have disappeared, along with some of our own. We have our own investigation under way, and we will let you know if it yields any result. Our internal predictions suggest that you will be bringing new fellows into the area to resume normal operations. In that regard we offer you a simple message on how to get along with our organisation: Obvious use of magic to the unawakened will be considered an act of war against us. By breaking the seal, we note that you have now read this letter. Ignorance is not an excuse.
 
 
 
We are the Age of Reason, and we will elevate humanity to greatness in this world, not the next.
 
 
 
Charles Montgomery, Chief Architect.
 
 
 
 
 
Location and holdings
 
 
 
The Age of reason have be found to own "Daedalus Biotechnology" in the New England Technology Park, close to the University, a biotechnology equipment supplier with their own chemical manufacturing labs. They are also known to have large holdings in the investment company "Ophelia Group", who own a controlling interest in the security company that administrates 70% of Armidale's CCTV cameras.
 
 
 
 
 
The Age of Reason are believed to be keeping the Seers of the Throne out of Armidale to date, whether this is by force or agreement is not known.
 
 
 
 
 
Members
 
 
 
Only a few members of the Age of Reason have shown themselves:
 
 
 
 
 
"Chad". The only known member of the Age of Reason Cabal, large American guy who likes to talk about the Age of Reason's lofty Goals
 
 
 
Charles Montgomery, Chief Architect. A high ranking position/alias in the Age of Reason, only mentioned through company emails and the letter above. A thin white-haired man with an English accent, awakened. Had a meeting with the Concillium and tacitly confirmed the murder of Seeker7, though not directly (plausible deniability).
 
 
 
 
 
The Machine (alias) Icy mechanics resonance. Only seen in dreams as a massive frozen clockwork machine that manipulates fate.
 
 
 
There are also a number of mundane employees with no idea about the supernatural goings on.
