However, over Over the millennia, the Mechanicus has gradually lost much of its original autonomy. Someone like an [[Inquisitor]] even considering scrutinizing a Forge World would have been unheard of during the [[Great Crusade]]. Dogma and fear of [[heresy]] or [[tech heresy]] has largely supressed free discussion of ideas. Anything approaching innovation is held under supreme skepticism, if not outright deemed heretical. True understanding of Humanity's ancient technological lore passes further from their grasp with each passing century.{{Fn|27e}} The ability of the Adeptus Mechanicus to reproduce technology from the [[Great Crusade]] has gradually diminished. Even the [[Golden Throne]], cornerstone of the Imperium, is proving beyond the ability of the Adeptus Mechanicus to repair and maintain.{{Fn|8}}

In the last 10,000 years since the Great Heresy, the Adeptus Mechanicus has become fanatically ingrained in the dogma of the [[Cult Mechanicus]]. As their [[Forge World]]s supply mankind with vital weaponry and technology, the Adeptus Mechanicus continues their [[Quest for Knowledge]] and vigorously hunt for remains of precious [[STC]]s. Major conflicts over the tenets of the Cult Mechanicus have plagued the Adeptus Mechanicus, most notable of which include the [[Moirae Schism]], [[North-South Mars Conflict|Martian Civil War]], and [[Elucidan Schism]].{{Fn|7}}
