Added lines 1-116:
!!!Autochthon:
The Great Maker, the craftiest of the
Primordials. Ugly and sickly, Autochthon was the butt of
very many Primordial jokes just as he was the source of very
many of their wonders. Eventually, he grew disaffected with
his fellow Primordials and conspired with the gods to grant
them the secret of making the Exalted. After the gods
destroyed the Primordials, Autochthon sensed the Great
Curse and attempted to evade the Curse and the eventual
malice of the ruling Celestial Incarna by withdrawing into
the void of Elsewhere and hibernating. Recently, the Great
Maker has shown signs of dying in his sleep, and a crisis
precipitated by dwindling resources of the Five Magical
Materials has persuaded the nation of Yugash to break the
Seal of Eight Divinities and make contact with Creation in
hope of somehow replenishing the Great Maker.

!!!Autochthonia:
The human civilization inside the great
maker. Composed of eight nations, the Autochthonians are
descended from the mortals carried Elsewhere by Autochthon.
They live in a regimented society, attempting to
better the Great Maker and by their prayers and value to his
life-processes prevent his defense systems from activating
and destroying their nations as intruders in the Primordial?s
self. Autochthonia is led by the Tripartite and the Alchemical
Exalted, heroes whose construction is a secret passed into the
safekeeping of the Sodalities.

!!!Elixir of Rest: A euthanatic elixir administered to
those too old to work. In Autochthonia, none may live who
do not earn their living.

!!!Glorious Luminors of the Brilliant Rapture, the:
The Autochthonian Sodality in charge of the secrets of
light and illumination. They are well-known for their
tendency to make their necessary job into a holier act than
is entirely necessary. They are associated with orichalcum.
Illustrious Conductors of the Consecrated Veins,
the: Those individuals responsible for managing the resource
and waste disposal taps into the veins of the Great
Maker and the storage and transport of the tapped products.
One of the five Sodalities, and the one responsible for
use of the Magical Material starmetal.

!!!Lumpen:
The social class of laborers below the
Populat, the Lumpen are disgraced, nerve-stapled or socially
undesirable. The Lumpen are Autochthonia?s caste
of habitual minor offenders and social malcontents. These
individuals are tattooed around their soulgems to mark
the reason for their degradation. Some are soul-flayed
and have their souls removed, but only the worst offenders
are so punished.

!!!Meticulous Surgeons of the Body Electric, the:
These technicians and maintenance engineers are responsible
for the upkeep and repair of both Autochthonia and
the denizens of the Great Maker. The Meticulous Surgeons
administer the Elixir of Rest. They are the Sodality
associated with the Magical Material moonsilver.

!!!Olgotary:
The administrators of Autochthonian civilization.
These scientific bureaucrats are one of the three
governing institutions of Autochthonian society, along
with the Sodalities and the Theomachracy.

!!!Pious Harvesters of the Hallowed Flesh, The:
These individuals gather offal and trash for recycling and prepare the food that the Autochthonian masses flock to eat at the cafeterias. They are the Sodality associated with the Magical Material jade.

!!!Populat: Autochthonia?s working class, these individuals
are tasked with the manual efforts involved with
propitiating the Machine God. The vast bulk of the
Autochthonian population is part of the Populat.

!!!Prolific Scholars of the Furnace Transcendent, the:
These craftsmen and machinists manufacture the parts
that make the Machine God function smoothly and the
wonders that allow Autochthonian society to exist. The
Prolific Scholars are one of the Five Sodalities and are
associated with the Magical Material soulsteel.

!!!Seal of Eight Divinities, the: A sealed magical portal
to Creation, which leads into the Silent Crescent, a jungle
region in the Southwest of Creation.

!!!Sodalities:
More properly known as the Five Magnificent
Sodalities of Penultimate Truth and Intransigent
Gospel, the Sodalities are five brotherhoods of skilled
craftsmen, similar to guilds or trade unions, that provide
Autochthonia with its skilled laborers, tradesmen and engineers.
One of the three governing institutions of
Autochthonia, along with the Theomachracy and the
Olgotary, the Sodalities include the Glorious Luminors of the
Brilliant Rapture, the Illustrious Conductors of the Consecrated
Veins, the Pious Harvesters of the Hallowed Flesh, the
Prolific Scholars of the Furnace Transcendent and the Meticulous
Surgeons of the Body Electric.

!!!soulgem:
All Autochthonians wear soulgems on their
foreheads. The pattern of an Autochthonian?s soulgem is
indicative of her position and rank in Autochthonia's rigid
society. Obscuring the soulgem is legally permissible only
to investigative officials of the Tripartite. It is believed
that souls not harvested from their soulgems are lost
forever, but this is not the case, and souls escape their
soulgems after several weeks.

!!!Theomachracy:
The clerics of the Great Maker, the Theomachracy see to it that the people of Autochthonia are meeting the needs of the Machine God and are happy in their communities.

!!!Tripartite:
The combination of the Theomachracy, the Sodalities and the Olgotary that rules Autochthonia with the help of the Alchemical Exalted.
