Tools of Harvest on Earth (Plains of Eidolon)
The Tools of Harvest represent a unique set of objects found on Earth, specifically within the Plains of Eidolon. These objects are integral to the harvesting process of the Unum's Temple-body, providing resources for the inhabitants of Cetus. Scanning these fragments reveals the intricate and somewhat brutal methods employed for resource extraction.
The process of harvesting involves several specialized roles:
- Drillers: Punch cavities into the Temple wall.
- Eruptors: Lay shock charges and "make fire" to loosen carved flesh.
- Flensers: Carve up the Temple's flesh.
- Retrievers: Wring oil from scrubs at the end of a shift.
The lore describes the Unum giving of herself, allowing parts of her Temple-body to be harvested for the good of Cetus. This involves a coordinated effort, with calls like "prepare to make fire!" echoing across the rooftops, signaling the detonations that rupture the sacred flesh. Agile balloon drop-drivers then deliver the harvested bounty to the butchers below.
