Ingenia (singular form ingenium) are a variety of mechanical technology used in the Xianzhou Alliance, made by craftsmasters of the Artisanship Commission.

Overview

Artifex's Modules are the foundation of ingenium technology and the smallest constituent of all machine parts. Breaking these modules apart would be akin to destroying the cellular structure of a living being.^[1] Artifex's Cogwheels are the connective components, with teeth as small as mustard seeds, yet interconnected to form a complex body.^[2] Artifex's Gyrehearts are the core of the technology. These armillary spheres roil and vibrate like the essence of a heart, making the machines think similarly to living beings.^[3]

Suppressing Edicts are also used in ingenium technology, and are placed on aurumatons to suppress their ability to think.^[4] The Aurumaton Gatekeeper is made with ancient ingenium technology.^[5]

Various ingenia are constantly being transported on the deck of the Xianzhou Zhuming.^[6]
