__NOTOC__
''This style was created by [[exalted:Argent|Argent]] on the [[exalted:MartialArts/UnrelentingAutomatonStyle|Exalted wiki]]. It has been altered in several ways to fit better into the [[Forgotten Suns]] campaign. Changes from the original will be noted in italics. This style was taught to [[Regret of the Sun]] in [[Autochthonia]].''

This [[type::Celestial Martial Arts|celestial martial art]] developed over the millennia in Autochthonia, for use by the alchemical exalted. Most popular with younger Jade caste exalted, it remains evenly practiced by elder alchemicals of all castes. Some masters exist even in Creation, though how knowledge of it reached them remains a mystery. Most stories told of it in Creation intersect with mentions of the Eye of Autochthon, so the Eye remains the most likely conduit.

The style focusses on eumlation of the machine, becoming relentless, sturdy and forceful. It focuses primarily on armor, both enhancing the martial artists and penetrating his opponent, but also on speed and endurance.

This style is intended for First Edition, but not power combat. It does, however, use the concept of Hardness in places, using it as a convenient shorthand for the cumbersome phrasing of the 1E lunar soak rules (where charm enhancement beyond 12 points adds to Hardness instead), the Invulnerable Skin of Bronze and several other places. This style allows armor, including shields, but uses no form weapons of any kind.
