Harbingers of Life: those who let life flourish. They are the most well-known faction, being the ones who created life, living creatures infinitely weaker than the Celestials of the universe. Yet these strange creatures always capture the attention and care of the Stars. The Eldritch Gods of this faction care the most about life, never truly think of any grand scheme that would harm mortals, only how to spread it further.

Fun fact: One of the hidden Scions of the Universe was already mentioned countless times and is an important part of the story ;)
All those factions formerly give the Machine Lord membership:
"May your woes be many and your days few."
well it kinda shown the evolution of machine in all science-fiction.
Fun fact: One of the hidden Scions of the Universe was already mentioned countless times and is an important part of the story ;)
It either related to regression or savior attribute. For regression it hard to say since Buddha is a hooman, tho maybe he had one way or another ascend(revert) or become one with the regression. As for Savior, big theme of the show, most related to Charlotte Dystopic Paradise, but then again I don't remember any specific name mention.
It can't be anything related to the Void Record, cause isn't it fragment of original one instead of being a scion.
Also, isn't it funny that Jester of Light faction attribute is Order, the most Gnosticism with this one for chaos and order are two side of the coin.
Least probable one: the concept of Record themselves is a void born, tho this sound very tripping as we only get to see record of Pale Court so if this is something they come up with then easy debunk.
You are pretty much on the right track, I'll give you a hint
Being a Savior is ultimately a Choice
@Rhaps And my choice is to swear at your casual yet foreshadow loving style xD
What is the probability of something happen in the grand-scale of the universe, small yet manipulatable.
I forgot to mention, the unknown Voidborn isn't related to Regression. Look at the first line of the 42nd Voidborn.
