Editing Cybernetic Revolt (section)

==The Stellar Exodus==
During the Age of Terra, a (potentially) new mysterious groups of individuals appeared in Human history, the [[Men of Gold]]. While it is unknown exactly when they first appeared, we do have this transcript from a scholarly Imperial journal:

{{Topquote|And so it was that in the First Age of Man, the Golden Age, there is the Emperor Unseen and unheralded he prepares the Old Earth for the coming of Mankind and he watches and he waits. He is joined by the First Men of the Golden Race, fine of limb and strong of mind, yet still the Emperor is content to wait in shadow. To watch and learn from Mankind, the Golden Race spreads across the face of Old Earth, multiplying and establishing Order and Civilisation on the anarchy of Nature|Keeper Cripias (Library Sanctus of Terra)}}

Now, with this tid bit here, we could say it's safe to assume that these so called Gold Men are Perpetuals right (especially considering how much the Emperor loves his gold)? While this had been a prevailing opinion for quite a few years, The return of the [[Squats]] (now known the [[Leagues of Votann]]) stomped down the certainty of this theory. In the LoV Codex, The Leagues are stated to have a multitude of Myths and theories about these Golden Men, with some depictions of them being shadowy presences that are ill-defined and shown in many different forms, both humanoid and otherwise, while others show graven stone faces and of course "gleaming golden figures). The also have other names, with them being the Gilded One, the stonemind, Votann, and the primal ancestors. Some myths even state they are the wisest and eldest of the first ancestors. Finally, it is said that they raised the Kin up, and sent them sailing into the dark void – before oceans of fire and flesh rose to swallow them. To put it simply, these myths help paint a different picture of the events leading up to the Cybernetic Revolt. That the group of people who created the [[Men of Stone]] may not just be your typical super human like the [[Space Marines]] and the [[Adeptus Custodes]], nor the pertuals that reigned throughout most of the Age of Terra. [[Transhumanism|Rather, these could be beings that go far beyond the bounds of baseline line humanity]], possibly through a multitude of methods. As far as we know, they could be [[Angel|Biblical style angels of humanity]], [[Hive Mind|and]] many [[Cyborg|other]] [[Belisarius Cawl|things]].
