About Servitors
I've recently been thinking about the lore surrounding the Fallen and I've come across a couple of things that don't seem to make sense about Servitors.
I understand that Servitors are machines built in the Travellers image to process matter into the Ether which the Fallen thrive on, and that the Servitors of a Fallen House come under the command of a Prime Servitors, operating in symbiosis with an Archon.
What I don't understand is, if the Fallen build the Servitors and Prime Servitors, why do they then revere them as Gods and Commanders? It makes no sense to me for any race to build a machine which they then become subservient to. Why not just build the machine to manufacture Ether but without any form of intelligence?
Furthermore, if they build the Servitors and Prime Servitors in the image of the Traveller, having been blessed by it prior to us, what exactly was it that was keeping them alive prior to the Traveller coming to them? Where did they get their Ether from in the time before?
-
Centuries of living on ships with most probably all of the population not knowing about their home or most of their history, only knowing their ship and what their kell tells them. It doesn't surprise me they worship the source of their food.

I don't know, maybe the answer will also answer why people let their phones control their lives.
-
The Servitors are what sustain the lives of the Fallen, and they built them in the image of the Traveler, which they also worship as a god, so it's only natural that they do the same with Prime Servitors since they are powerful and provide ether for so many And they had an abundance of ether on their home world, they didn't need to convert matter into it
-
This won't help you, but it's nice to know if you want to do further research. [quote]ESD-MMR-APL-001 Ether is a naturally occurring substance, back on the Eliksni home world it was so abundant that they refer to it as 'when ether ran free' the Traveler ascended their culture just like ours. **[/quote]

My guess is that because the materials to rebuild Primes are very scarce in our system that they revere them as God-like. I assume the water on the Eliksni world was filled with Ether instead of Oxygen.
