Modron Bloodline (5e Subclass)
Modron Bloodline
Your innate magic comes from the lawful plane of Mechanus. Given that modrons are constructs, bloodlines almost invariably awaken when pacts are created between high-ranking modrons and denizens of the Prime Material Plane.
There is a surge in the population of sorcerers with such a bloodline every 289 years, when the great gears of Mechanus complete 17 cycles and the Great Modron March commences.
Note: See here for my homebrew of the Sorcerer class which goes with this sorcerous origin.
