Paths to Power
Paragons
The original Founders were perfect in their execution of their role in The Integrum. This perfection represented an absolute harmony between their nature and The Apparatus. Farmers were perfect farmers, soldiers were perfect soldiers. Each practitioner followed their arts to an absolute ideal. While most of this level of mastery was lost in The Shattering, some pieces of it still manifest. Very rarely, enough pieces of a Paragon soul inhabits a mortal of The Integrum, granting supernatural mastery of some discipline. Nearly any skill can be manifest as a Paragon. Diplomacy, engineering, artistry, combat, and strategy are all examples seen through history. For Paragons of adventuring skills, see Template:Category Apparatus Classes.
Heralds
Primarchs wield both great personal power and great influence over parts of The Integrum.
