Iteration X

Paradigm
The Iterators are dedicated to the idea of "Stronger, Faster, Better". Specializing mainly in Forces, Iteration X are perhaps best known for their skill in cybernetics, computing and robotics. However, the Conventions overarching goal is the creation of better tools to aid humanity. The Clockwork Convention claim that they strive to emulate the men who first discovered fire and the wheel, elevating man to new heights.

Modernized
In 1851, the Artificers, and the larger Order, underwent reorganization and emerged as the Technocratic Union. The Artificers were re-christened as the International Brotherhood of Mechanicians. This lasted until the later years of the 19th century, when the Union overhauled itself yet again. The Mechanicians became Iteration X, in honor of their self-aware Computer, which had acheived artificial intelligence on the tenth iteration of its recursive self-improvement program.
