The annexation of Castellum has seen an influx of Tech Priests with equally strange naming traditions. These puritanical-like names are taken from the vast scientific canon of suppositions, theorems and other sacred lines of text worshiped by the Mechanicum and chains them together into vast hyphenated first names followed by fairly 'Imperial' surnames. Examples can include; ''Continuity-For-All-Delta-There-Exists-Some-Epsilon-Such-That-If-Y-Lies-Within-Epsilon-Of-X-Then-F-Of-Y-Lies-Within-Delta-Of-F-Of-X Witherick'' or ''Every-Simply-Connected-Closed-Three-Manifold-Is-Homeomorphic-To-The-Three-Sphere Lockwood''

			'''Archmagos Myrioi-513''' is the Fabricator-General of [[Ferraeus]], and is a truly immense augmented being with little flesh remaining upon their bones. The Archmagos has augmented and expanded their neural capacity to ridiculous levels, forgoing a Fabricator-Locum for operating several independent digital facets of their personality and spreading their biological matter amongst multiple host armatures. Considered highly conservative by their peers, the Archmagos enjoys a close relationship with [[Crusade High Command]] and the Sector Government as the most closely Imperial-loyal Forge in the sector, and the only Forge with a full [[Titan]] Legion at its command.

			'''Chief Princeps Leks Koenig''' leads the [[Legio Ferraeus]] Titan Legion. A formidable warrior, he is notably arrogant and ambitious. From the control throne of the Warlord ''Deus Imperatrix'' he rules like a petty God-King of ancient times; often overstepping his place in the order of battle to issue orders to allies outside his command chain, he is considered disruptive by many [[Crusade]] officers.

	=== Rank and ~~Status~~ amongst the Ferraean Priesthood ===		=== Rank and Organisation amongst the Ferraean Priesthood ===

			The structure of Ferraeus closely follows the traditional or '[[The_Machine_Cult#The_Hierarchy_of_the_Cult_Mechanicus\|Martian]]' hierarchy system copied by many other Priesthood around the Imperium. It does however forgo the use of a Fabricator Locum as a single entity, '''Archmagos Myrioi-513''' the Fabricator-General of Ferraeus occupies the entire upper echelon of Forge command. The Archmagos operating several independent digital facets of their personality by spreading their biological compotents amongst multiple host armatures that act to give it a distributed command network over Ferraeus.

			Beneath Myrioi-513 the standard structure persists, with Magi controlling most of the functions of society with their Menial and Servitor labour-forces arranged beneath them in service to the mighty industrial machine that is the Forge.

			The surface of Ferraeus is organised into severan 'Forge Fanes' each assigned one of the host-armatures of the Fabricator General who oversees operations while a '''Magos Senioris''' is ultimately responsible for the day to day business of operating the region. The output of each Forge-Fane changes on a regular basis as the needs of the Prosperitas Sactor, and the Crusade become apparent. Forges are constantly being rebuilt for other functions while Menials are shipped in massive mass-conveyors to whatever Forge Fane requires their particular labour talents that day.


			=== Naming Traditions of the Ferraeans ===

			Generally alpha numeric designations are used by the Priests of Ferraeus often combining ancient characters along with a string of numbers, such as 'Alpha-123' for example. Some Ferraeans have a different first name that is not a character but an actual Imperial-sounding name followed by a numeric string, these individuals are usually those born outside of Ferraeus who have been inducted into the priesthood and are thusly required to sacrifice their family name in honour of their new choices in life.
