Factory-Cathedrals are at once houses of worship and centers of industry, empowered by prayer, dragon lines, and strange occult approaches to energy creation. They demand great maintenance and intense purification, but in turn are able to produce complex works of artifice in quantity.
Factory-cathedrals count as an exotic component for the purposes of creating magitech artifacts, but do not count as such for any non-magitech artifact. Indeed, the use of a factory-cathedral as a component in the basic 1-dot artifact-components used to construct larger artifacts is not optional but mandatory. This requirement is one of the greatest obstacles to producing magitech today, and why factory-produced components are in such high demand when recovered from First Age ruins through the Scavenger Economy.
The following is a list of known factory-cathedrals in Creation today.

The Scavenger Lands
Denandsor – The now-abandoned City of Makers is known to most Scavenger Lords as the greatest prize one could imagine, a city that has not fallen to complete ruin, bound to contain a wealth of intact artifacts and components… but kept closed by a curse that neither god nor Exalt can overcome. To those artificers who study at the Heptagram or in Lookshy, its loss is mourned (though still considered irreversible) as the City is said to be home to multiple factory-cathedrals.
Aviary of Deheleshen – Located in the heart of Lookshy, the Aviary of Deheleshen is a high-towered factory-cathedral originally thought to have been designed for the construction of skyships, though the associated facilities have largely failed due to lack of parts to maintain them, or been retooled to produce more basic weapons needed in quantity by the Seventh Legion. It is dedicated to Tu Yu, former City Father of Deheleshen.

The West
The Great Cathedral of Murak – The local nobility of the Shogunate of Murak, an independent island state of the Southwestern Threshold, have long claimed that the palace of their Shogun is a factory cathedral capable of producing magitech. While many observers agree there is scavenging potential amidst some of Murak’s First Age ruins, and the locals make use of some items so recovered, the idea that they possess or operate a cathedral is laughable at best.
The North
(none known)
The Blessed Isle
Factory-Cathedral of the Exalted Battle Girded in Power and Fury – Located at the eastern end of the Great Tail of Juche Prefecture. Dedicated to Tachi-kun the Central God of War.
Factory-Cathedral of the Crimson Panoply Borne by Hands Upraised – Located at the northern foot of the Imperial Mountain. Dedicated to Mars the Maiden of Battles.
Factory-Cathedral of the Invincible Prow Cleaving Bloodied Waters – Located along the southwestern coast of the Blessed Isle. Dedicated to Siakal the Western Got of War.
