- "I shall remain vigilant and unyielding in my pursuit of the enemies of the Coalition. I will defend and maintain the order of life as it was proclaimed by the Allfathers of the Coalition in the Octus Canon. I will forsake the life I had before so I may perform my duty as long as I am needed. Steadfast. I shall hold my place in the machine and acknowledge my place in the Coalition. I am a Gear."
- —Oath of the Coalition, sworn by all COG Gear recruits
The Allfathers were the heads of state of Imulsion-rich nations that united under the Octus Canon and formed the Coalition of Ordered Governments during the fuel crisis predating the Pendulum Wars.[1]
Legacy[]
Paintings of the Allfathers in plain gilt frames were displayed in the House of Sovereigns.[2] Allfathers Avenue was named after them, as was the Thrashball Competition known as the Allfathers Cup, in which the Cougars won against the Sharks one year.
Following the Locust War, the Coalition of Ordered Governments relocated the Allfathers' remains to New Ephyra. The main hall of Government House was adorned with eight towering statues of each of the Allfathers. The late First Minister Anya Stroud, the first leader of the restored COG, was so venerated that many, including First Minister Mina Jinn, believed that she had earned a place of honor among the Allfathers. Jinn had urged Stroud's husband, Marcus Fenix, to have her entombed alongside the Allfathers to provide inspiration for the people, but he staunchly refused.[3]
