Great Foundries

The Great Foundries were the automated factories in the Cupid Homeworld which produced new Clockwork Cherubs. They did so in batches of a hundred apiece, every one to seven years, based on new designs transmitted to the Foundries by the Creator from within the Forbidden Manor.

It was rumoured that Commander Amadeo-378's “quick wits” came from “a quirk of the foundries that had made the soul of his processing unit a five-point diamond, instead of the standard-cut rose quartz”. (PROSE: The Green Gorillas)
