>It was around the middle to late era of the Voekhet's existence that the Technomandrikes came into existence.
>When some Crypteks' need for grandeur surpasses their inheritance, they get together to trade secrets.
>Such activities are welcomed by Necrontyr society, as it gives a larger pool of higher skilled Crypteks for the Overlords to call upon.
>The Technomandrikes took this to the extreme; A Cryptek Conclave formed of many hundreads of thousands of Crypteks of varying background, all putting asside their individual egos for the privalege of being part of a greater design, pooling together their skills into a single pool of shared knowledge.
>Necrontyr society watched on in great apprehension, filling with both hope and fear in equal measure.
>The Technomandrikes broke from the tradition of eons to carve a new path, one that if strode with grace would carry the Necrontyr to a new dawn of technology.
>Crypteks would labor not for the recognition of one Overlord, but for the recognition of trillions, bringing about the ascension of the Necrontyr into technological omnipotence by the merging of countless lines of development spanning millions of years into one.
>The Technomandrikes had no such lofty ideals.
>Their ideology in reality was one of unfiltered avarice, forging for themselves a mercantile identity with no respect for the dead of their clients.
>Notice how I said clients and not Overlords.
>The Technomandrikes would make oaths to noone, and would sell their services to whoever would pay them.
>They routinely armed both sides of the same conflict, and dared anyone to respond with indignity knowing their enemies would get a discount on their next purchase.
>They were extortionists, racketeers, going from Dynasty to Dynasty, Overlord to Overlord, and offering their services knowing their offer couldn't be refused, least the same offer be given to the Overlord's adversary.
