If a citizen, male or female, is tested and turns out they are good engineers and designers, good with science and/or alchemy – they go to the “Tinkerers Hall” were they are indoctrinated into faith of Ikribu. After, they are sent to The Iron Alloy Halls and work on the fusing of Virtues and perfection of build – automation and automatons, crop improvement, selective breeding, improved chemical processes, etc. (integrating science with faith as a form of Technomancy).
Much of what is designed and discovered here makes it way to the Automata Brigade of Virtue and Reason.
