They didnt start docking (cutting off arms) till after the whirlwind.

Actually, they did have docking before their collapse. They had house wars time to time and there were "ranks". (Dreg,Vandal/Maruder, Captain, Baron/Baroness, Archon Priest, Kell)

That stuff didn't happen till after the collapse. The time of the great machine was a time of peace for the Eliksne. They did have houses but they didnt fight because there was plenty of resources.
-
Yeah, I'm talking about [i]before[/i] their golden age. You said they did not start docking after the whirlwind. Which is technically false. They had docking because there were some house wars for the purpouse of some kind of feudalism. So I said [i]anything[/i] before the whirlwind.

We dont actually know much of anything regarding fallen history or culture pre traveler. So everything your stating is speculation. I do believe there was D1 lore that did say docking started after the whirlwind. Which this makes sense since resources would have been scarce so making mistakes could have been devastating.
