Mage: The Podcast Tomes of Magick: Sons of Ether
The Sons of Ether are seen as crazy technomancers but the true history of these explorers go back far farther. Adam and Terry explore their history and ideas from Greek philosophers to the last modern remnants of Victorian explorers and pulp actions heroes. Along the way, find out how the nature of scientific discovery has changed across editions and as always Adam's story ideas.
Notes:
- We're more than half way through the original Tradition books, yay!
- Etherites have no consistent history at least up to the Renaissance and House Golo
- Gentlest induction so far. Give em' a book and see if they get a new idea from it
- No necessity for them to be scientific. Their belief is in the power of human creativity
- Acts of wonder that don't aid the Consensus are merely magick and not True Science
