==The Walkers of the Perfected Scale==
A loose confederation of alchemists and artificers who seek to create Perfected Vessels, artificial bodies that will grant them immortality.  Members labor in secret to create their own unique Perfected Vessels that, upon their completion, absorb the souls of their creators.  While some Walkers recreate stunning versions of their original bodies or strive for an idealized, abstract humanoid form, many eschew the limitations of their former flesh and create bodies that are as unique and bizarre as any creature that exists in the Far Realms or the Elemental Chaos.

At the core of each Vessel pulses an Aberrath, a clockwork crystal sphere that represents the culmination of the Walkers' combined genius.  It is the Aberrath that allows the Vessels to house their creators' souls indefinitely, but it is also the object that has brought the wrath of Araushnee on them.  Whether intentionally or merely as a side-effect of its operation, the Aberrath rips free the soul it houses from the strings of the fate-weave, leaving gaping, twisting holes in the fabric of destiny and removing the actions of the Walkers from the sight of gods and goddesses of fate.  Such hubris and destruction angers all the immortals, but Aurashnee, the Weaver, feels each Aberrath as a wound on her own being and commands her servents to hunt and destroy the Stair wherever it manifests.
