Forge

"´Fire,' I once read, 'is the winter that warms and the spring that consumes.` [The principle of the Forge transforms and destroys.]"

Forge is the Principle of The Forge of Days, The Madrugad, and The Meniscate, of transformation, artifice, fire, and destruction. Its followers are characterized by ingenuity, mechanical thinking, and superhuman strength. It is the aspect the Unflinching Order is dedicated to. Before The Lithomachy, Forge was known as "Flint" and was the principle of The Flint, a God-from-Stone. It's lore is referred to as "the Lore that burns".
