The greatest fear is that of being forgotten, yet all but the greatest historical figures are inevitably lost to the passage of time. Rise up and immortalise your place in history, both in memory and soul. Only those who have cemented their place in the books of history, become Godless and defy mortality.
When deities are nothing but a result of social construction, the internal structures of the world begin to crumble. Laws are merely a suggestion and morality a weakness. Put your humanity aside, and ascend.
With ethics discarded, technological advancements have blossomed, cybernetics are the norm, and the value of organic life plummeted; some have more chrome than flesh.
The last bastion of corporeality is the arcane, aside from the Godless, nobody has been able to channel it with the use of tech. Every element has a set value, one which practitioners of the arcane are able to channel and modify, turning one thing, to another.
Trust no one, help no one and write your own legacy.
