[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2939667, member: 11697"] Tenebrous obliterated the previous Primus during the prologue of [i]The Great Modron March[/i], and Tenebrous temporarily poses as him and hijacks the Modrons during the events of [i]Dead Gods[/i]. Tenebrous flees in horror when he eventually realizes that the influence of the Modron energy pool of Regulus is slowly infecting his mind with Law. At that point one of the Secundus Modrons is automatically elevated to become the new Primus. [The Primus killed by Tenebrous is now a Vestige as per Tome of Magic, written up in Dragon Magazine] In the ensuing disorganization while the new Primus re-establishes control over Regulus, pulls the Modron race back together, and coordinates the regeneration of dead Modrons whose essence has pooled in Regulus, the Modron race has already been seriously put into disorder by that point. Plus, during this period of transition, the Formians that were dumped into Mechanus during the slide of Arcadia's lowest layer have, more or less, gone insane and become expansionist as they face little Modron opposition. Current day, the new Primus has fully reestablished control, but has recalled virtually all Modrons back to Regulus and sealed the borders of that collection of gears (among the largest, and certainly the most important in Mechanus). What the Modrons are up to now is up for debate, but they're still around, despite their minimization for various reasons, intentional or circumstantial, during the earliest days of 3e. [/QUOTE]
