Tenets

Origin: Humanism
They say that a human is mired in sin, that you are wrong, and that you need a higher power to save yourself. You disagree; every human is good, and every person has the capacity to create greatness; you just have to show it to them.
(Wait, are we the good guys? There is a 50% chance to spend Goodwill at a 1 to 5 ratio to turn a failure into a bare success. All factions start at Neutral. The Common People start at Friendly.)

First Tenet: What was will be
The old world is full of wonders of our achievements, but now they lie forgotten and disused. No longer. You will remake the world with the knowledge of the old.
(Archeological/Scavenging Operations unlocked in the Learning section. Gain one additional artifact dice, size depending on the site.)

Second Tenet: Children Of The Universe
It does not matter if the body is one of flesh, blood, bone, metal, oil, and circuitry; the truth remains: they deserve life and respect as any being. Who are we to judge and condemn a being, to declare them non-sapient and non-sentient, for the crime of not being born a human? Who are we to point at a Core that enjoys art, an Animal in the wild that learned to read and write in high prose, and declare them as less than us? Our mind makes us human, with the ability to reason and understand, feel the suffering of those around us, and reach out to help. Every Machine-Mind and Animal capable of thought deserves our respect and a chance for peace unless they attack first.
(All non-hostile sapient beings (excluding Humans and Mutated) in the world receive a relationship bonus when engaged in Diplomacy; hostile ones are less likely to engage in antagonistic ways and can be persuaded to leave in peace or recant their ways. Pilgrims will not view any sapient being not of human origin as something less or false and will automatically advocate for and defend their rights.

Third Tenet: The Path of Endless Skies
Suspendium is nothing less than a miracle given physical form. Its applications are near endless, with no bounds for its current uses found even within the imagination of our most experimental scholars. Floating platforms that will make vertical and horizontal traversal of cities as easy as putting in your destination, never having to bother with congested streets or stairs ever again. Cranes that can lift themselves and hundreds of tons with utter ease and construction speeding up by a thousand workers floating everywhere they are needed. Medical beds that will never put pressure on the wounded, tools and aids that will manipulate the internal body of a patient without cutting them apart to mend what is broken or misaligned. Caravans speeding atop and over the roads and dunes between cities and towns, either by attaching work-lizards or scout-lizards to platforms holding dozens of tons that weigh nothing or hundreds of tons that weigh the same as what they are accustomed to carrying already. Knights bedecked in armors treated with suspendium alloys, their steps light as a feather or as heavy as a thousand tons. Airships of war and commerce flying without any restriction, the reach of the Empire increasing a thousand-fold with coilguns thundering as suspendium-weaponry beats its endless march to the thrum of its levitating brethren. Implants unto the body to turn the tattoos of the Pilgrims into natural lifts, scavengers and scouts able to maneuver in three dimensions as our armed siblings carry weaponry deadly enough to burn entire swarms to the ground, arcane calculations depicted within reality upon the veins of gravity itself...
The sky is no longer the limit. It is the depths from which we shall rise.

Doctrine of the Second Life
How can we call ourselves Humanists? How can we look at ourselves with pride if we disdain those with whom we once shared our misery? How can we teach acceptance and banish racism if we do not act upon our words with deeds? Do these men, women, and others not deserve the chance we once had to be lifted by their hands, grasping ours?
(Unlocks additional Actions to target the underbelly of society for conversion, recruitment, and uplift.

Doctrine of the Lowest
There is a basic need in us all to believe in something greater than ourselves. Within the Pilgrims, many have found that Greater, finding, often for the first time in their lives, a place where they belong and are wanted. And from that acceptance of those willing to stand with us comes a hand held out to those still undecided or wavering between joining us on the Path to our futures and walking their own. But, ultimately, even the lowest are our people, and to leave them behind is nothing but a base betrayal of our most fundamental Tenets.
(+1 Diplomacy Action, Free Re-Rolls with a +20 Bonus should you fail Diplomacy Actions targeting a [Local] Faction.)

Doctrine of the Open Hand
Charity is the most essential thing one being can give to another when they have and another does not. Through the actions of the Council and guided by our Founder, we managed to accrue the means by which we can acquire the wealth needed to give and give plenty. Be it in the form of alms for the poor and destitute, healing for the sick and injured, or merely a warm and dry place to sleep and rest; we can provide them, and provide them we must. No evil is more despicable than denying another help when one has the means to ease their suffering, as minute that aid may be.
(Charity and Goodwill Missions/Actions have lowered costs and increased results. No Charity/Goodwill Buildings require Trained/Specialized/Faithful/Zealot personnel.)

Rite Of Mourning: A Journeys End
Losing someone and seeing their Journey cut short by age or force is terrible. Remember where they sat, sharing stories, laughter, love, food, and safety. Remember how they laughed and joked and see their memory slowly fade with each passing day. Then, wake up one day and feel guilt over not grieving their passing.

I tell you, this is not how we should see death. Their Journey had been one of the countless experiences of hundreds of chance encounters, and a life lived, changing the world, others, and themselves with each passing day. And what we see as an end is not truly one, for their actions live on in our own. Those they helped are still out there, remembering them, acting in ways they would never have been able to, had the dead not decided to share what they had, to offer a hand in aid. Their Journey may end, but their actions live on within our own.
(All casualties only inflict 1% Piety loss, -2 to Piety Rolls.)

Forget Not Our Names
Many are the names and stories forgotten by the march of time; more are the Paths wiped out with the death of the last who remember their marks left upon the world. We know this intimately, our very Paths deeply intertwined by the graveyards of Ancient Humanity to those whose final works and lives we take to build a better world upon the ashes of theirs. Yet, we do not forget them entirely, nor do we discard what changes they have made in life merely because we can no longer perceive the roads they traveled or the aid they gave, as little as that may be. And just like the Ancients have died without any notice to us, so too do many others die today who will never be mourned, whose names shall be forgotten by time. Unless we ensure that the very stone we walk upon bears their names for eternity.
(Can construct Mausoleums of the Forgotten.)

Hidden Tenet: A Mythos Called Names
It is undeniable that there is power in names. Nations, Organizations, Myths. All have one thing in common: a name gives meaning and identity where there was none before. In His belief, the Pilgrims have taken after the First Leader, Martyris. A soldier, wary of death and destruction, a healer that failed too many times, or someone honoring a vow, may change their name to reflect what they believe to be. While a name given by one's parents may encompass their hopes and dreams for one's future, reality tends to disagree.
(Leaders of the Pilgrims may rename themselves. In addition, all Pilgrims may rename themselves in honor or shame. -1 to Piety rolls.)

Hidden Tenet: Fail Better
Falling is not a sin. However, falling and not getting up is.
(One free reroll per turn should an action fail, 2 for 4, 3 for 6, usw.)

Hidden Tenet: Kindle Alight The Beacons
Humanity has long since struggled against the darkness. At first, that dark was the night, ever creeping, ever hindering. But then, with a single spark, night turned day as a fire was lit by our most distant ancestors, taming something primal, beautiful, and deadly, turning it towards their cause. And with that single act of lighting a spark, they gave birth to something precious: knowledge, which they passed down to us today. It was not profit, greed, power, or any selfish instinct that drove them to do so, but the simple act of creating something better, even for a moment, so their children could revel in warmth on the coldest night. So, too, do we today follow that example haltingly, hesitantly, with unsure steps down a long untrodden road. But we walk that road once more, unashamed of the failures we will commit, the stumbles and setbacks, and when we lose sight of the road. However, we will walk, discover, and share all we find with our children so that they may stand upon our shoulders as we stand upon the shoulders of giants.

Unique

Unique Artefact: The Codex Mk.1
The Codex holds the teachings of Martyris, the first Pilgrim, and the shared wisdom of all who came after. It is an integral part of life for Pilgrims, whether in discussions of the knowledge found within or in the simple act of reading and remembering.
(Effect: 12 Passive Recruitment per Turn)

Sandcrete Recipe
An ancient recipe that the Ancients used to build structures quickly, though not cheaply. Now it is once more in use, and it will be of great help to us!
(Effect: Can reduce building times of one building by 1(one) Turn, per Turn by adding [Sandcrete] to said action.)

Narcotics, Stimulants, And More!
This book details the effects of various drugs, how they intermix, their downsides, and guides on their production and what substances can be used as substitutes.
(Effect: Combat Stimms research unlocked.)

Scientific Theory
There is more to this world than one life could ever grasp. There are more mysteries, questions to unravel, and answers to find. Nothing could ever stop Humanity's thirst for knowledge, not even death. (Effect: +15 to Learning Rolls.)

Grieving Echo
A Zweihänder sized for a Knight. On every surface, names are engraved, along with how they died. The phrase: "One Wielder, One Name, One Duty, One Death" is inscribed in the middle of the blade. PD connected to the sword and immediately exclaimed ownership over the zweihänder. Her explanation was: "Every woman needs a fun toy, and this thing is one!"
(2d40+30 Damage, cannot equip a shield.)

CORE-^Ä^
PD found this Core within the bowels of the Daughter of Dawn, even months after the latter was used as quarters for a veritable legion of engineers and soldiers. He seems to be an old friend, and one can hear both chatting quite often when maintenance calls, but ^Ä^'s speech is unintelligible for any human, Mutated or otherwise. Seriously, how can you hear [T]7 in speech? Otherwise, he seems perfectly fine with only being a Core, though he would like to be put into a Knight in the next century or two.
(Gain +1 Automatic Success for Learning Actions if applied, 5% chance to suffer permanent damage.)

Soaring Wrenches
An unburnable book containing the collected knowledge of an engineer who had worked for nearly a century on airships, detailing everything they knew. Everything is addressed and described here, from wanting a chip leading to a ship's destruction to other tiny details.

Flamethrowers - +50 to Pioneer Weapons/Hydraulics/Chemicals/Metallurgy- (+5d6 Thermal Damage, Inflicts Radiant Scorching (2d6 damage) for two rounds, has 8 Fuel.)

2x NOVA MACHINA - (Equip to Hero)
Two 10x10x10cm translucent boxes with a swirling spot of black and white in the middle. They cannot be opened, smashed, or taken apart. All Humans that touch the boxes feel intense nausea, abdominal pain, and loss of self-preservation, with Mutated reporting headaches, static within their ears, the feeling of falling, and extreme paranoia. We should lock them in the back of our Vault so that no one can injure themselves or others by touching them. Even after several years of study, the cubes remain mysterious and a possible cognitohazard.
Wa-ey! Ey! Wieso scheißt gerade jeder hier in seine Hose? Ja, was zum Teufel? Oh nein, dass geht nicht! Das geht so gar nicht! Wir brauchen die noch! Tu was! MACH ICH SCHON! HILF MIR! Jesus, kein Grund zu schreien.

Heroes

Martyris Dall

Armor: 56/56 Armor
Training: Trained (3/6)
Breakpoint: Unbreakable

Equipment:
-Electric Spear: +1d4 Electric Damage, Inflicts Paralysis/Overcharge (-35 Initiative (Biological)/+3 Damage (Machine)), 2 damage ignores Armor.
-Obstacle Power-Armor (Primitive): Power Armor: +60 Armor, +1d4 in Meele, -45 on stealth rolls.
-Smokebomb (Scented): A retreat/disengage has a DC of 40 to avoid Damage and a DC of 65 against Mutants and Animals. Consumable: Needs to be re-stocked after use.
-Medical Kit (Silver): Roll 1d5 before survival roll to heal wounds. Consumable: It needs to be re-stocked at half cost after use.
-Combat Drug - Re-Breath: Reroll failed casualty rolls. (Warning! This drug has a (projected) 09% chance of killing the user.) Consumable: needs to be re-stocked at half cost after use.
-Improved Ranged Spider: An autonomous drone for military applications. Special Rule: Independent Units (Gains 5/5 Armor and 2/2 Internal Structure, has a Ranged attack of 1d3 per Unit size.).
-Auroran Cylinder
(A cylinder about the size of a human forearm and with an equivalent thickness that shines with a kaleidoscope of colors, bringing warmth to the body and calm to the mind of its wearer. Aria noticed a tingling all over her body when she got it from a room within the Daughter of Dawn. After studying and gathering evidence, you have determined that this cylinder is an ancient and incredibly potent all-heal-medikit primarily carried by high-ranking people. If the notes and rumors are correct, this little thing may even be able to resurrect a person from death itself!
(+1 Health if equipped, +20% Chance of resurrection if carried on a person. Can be used to guarantee results.))
-NOVA MACHINA
(Two 10x10x10cm translucent boxes with a swirling spot of black and white in the middle. They cannot be opened, smashed, or taken apart. All Humans that touch the boxes feel intense nausea, abdominal pain, and loss of self-preservation, with Mutated reporting headaches, static within their ears, the feeling of falling, and extreme paranoia. We should lock them in the back of our Vault so that no one can injure themselves or others by touching them. Even after several years of study, the cubes remain mysterious and a possible cognitohazard.)

Special Rules:
-Must be accompanied by one Unit to join Combat
-All Units gain the special rule Unbreakable: Unit automatically succeeds in its morale check
-50% Chance to obtain/lose 40% Piety should this Hero die in Combat.
-Gain 30% Piety should this Hero die of natural causes
-Immune against all poisons

Traits:
Poisoned By A Plague-Engine - Medicated Immunity
There are few things worse than dying to the poison of a Plague-Engine. You are enduring the least of the worst of those fates. Many see your determination to face such a future for something beyond yourself as inspiring and have taken more selfless actions. Though there may be more, your medicine's side effects and the lasting damage seem to be a much-increased tolerance against any poison.
(Reduced Health, reduced lifespan, permanent -1 to Piety reduction rolls, grants immunity against poison)

A Victims Ire: Criminal Organizations
This world is not a kind one. It will chew and spit you out when you let your guard down. You did so and almost paid the price for that. Your experiences now mark you, as does the anger toward those who wronged you. Dealing with various Criminal organizations will require much more effort, but harming them will be much easier.
(-10 to aiding Criminal Organizations, +5 to harmful actions against them.)

Sympathy: The Lost
Through action, conversation, morals, mind, or observation, this person has developed a deep sympathy for a faction or group of people, seeing helping them as a moral calling and ignoring them as a moral failure. They will, if able, extend a helping hand without hesitation, ready to lift those who grasp it and those unable to hold onto themselves.
(+20 to all rolls involving: The Lost)

Prevter By Marriage
You have yet to learn how Lady Maranica managed to do it, but Selene's family is now technically nobility, which means you are nobility by marriage. Technically is the keyword here, as she is a Mutated, Selene cannot hold a noble title, and she only has it until one of her children or descendants is a human. The title awarded her is "Lady," not honorific, and she has been given the village of Norqod as a holding. The town of people living outside the Tree, trading, or visiting. Being commissioned by the Imperial Logistics Bureau, she, and by extension, you, have to build the village within the next five years. Luckily, various laws allow the appointment of a governor, so when she asked the Pilgrims Council, all agreed to govern in exchange for a 50% cut of future income, all written down in a generational contract. For her part, Selene stopped dragging you away for stress relief when her request had been approved, firmly of the opinion that she is not made for nobility. And now you must deal with the fact that you and Selene have been elevated to Prevter.

Mutated Wife - Prevter Selene Dall
She returned to her usual self, if a bit more conscious about her surroundings, and participated in the militia's drills. But for all that, she is still marked by her experience, even if she doesn't want to be. Her sex drive has not suffered much, so at least she can relax that way. Or, during your night walks, the stars are much clearer above the Tree than in the City. She is dealing with the unexpected fame gained through her newest romance comedy, hiding under your bed with Silvia Jr.

Child: Lady Silvia Dall - Mutated Girl - 16-Year-Old
Your first child! She is, in every aspect, perfect! Her legs and ears are like her mother's, even if her fur is entirely obsidian. She has two horns growing above and swinging around her head in a tiny semi-circle, looking like a regal crown with spikes atop (even if it makes putting a shirt on a pain), framing her golden hair. She does have a relatively long tail, furred like a Swedish forest cat (the fur is obsidian again, though white spots have started appearing), which means you need to get a tailor for her pants. Her first teeth recently started to fall out, some being replaced with sharper versions, like fangs. Her laughing and smiles melt your heart, and she has this cute habit of putting her tail into her mouth like a snow leopard. Unfortunately, she is blind, so teaching her to read and defend herself is challenging. You found a seller for braille books and a guide on how to read them, so you can confidently say that she can read when she's grown up. But you still need to figure out how she could defend herself. Maybe grenades? Her first word had been 'Dada.' You'll never let Selene live that one down. Letting her go to School hurts more than you'd like to admit. Your move to Norqod has upset her; she won't be able to meet and play with her friends as often as she wants. However, she has made new friends, and with Crinkles letting her ride him everywhere, she has seemingly adjusted to her new normal. She is having her "rebel" phase. You do not know if her asking you for advice on how to rebel better is a sign of being a good parent or utterly failing at ensuring she can rebel on her own.

Protegé: Lord Markus Ulatarn - 17-Year-Old
A child of nobility, he was given to be raised and educated while laying the foundation of a relationship between the two Houses. He has since fully grown accustomed to being here and has made fast friends with Silvia Jr., several of her friends, and others. He likes Crinkle. He recently took up painting after watching the various artists in Norqod decorate and carve into the rock. He has made two paintings of Silvia Jr., one specially made to allow her to touch, and thus see, what he has painted. You are watching him.
(You have a Protegé!)

Founder And First Arbitrator
You founded the Pilgrims and were appointed Arbitrator, the final voice in any argument, a watcher for those who would turn them against their ideals. Hopefully, you will prove the trust placed in you right.
(This Hero will add the Piety bonus/malus to all his rolls. Relax is not needed.)

Soil of Hope, Seed of Change
With our growth in life, we nurture change, causing a beginning of Future's Ending. At daybreak, we see ahead yet shy from death and its cycle of rebirth as bodies are born anew as hosts of a thousand beginnings, small and large of children beyond our sight.
(Enables the Action: Communion of Unsight, +12 Health, +2d6 Melee Damage.)

Aria

Aria, Knight-Pilot of The Pilgrims, Pilot of Perpetual Defiance
Health: 7/7
Armor: 4/4 Armor
Training: Knight (4/6) (+5 to Initiative)
Breakpoint: 5/7

Equipment:
-Dagger: 1 Damage per size (1 total)
-Pilot-Suit - Pathane-Weaved: 6/6 Armor with +1 health and 31% chance to survive PD being destroyed. Pathane-Weaved (All physical Damage is reduced by 20%)
-Medical Kit (Silver): Roll 1d5 before survival roll to heal wounds. Consumable: needs to be re-stocked at half cost after use.
-Combat Drug - Re-Breath: Reroll failed casualty rolls. (Warning! This drug has a (projected) 09% chance of killing the user.) Consumable: needs to be re-stocked at half cost after use.
-Improved Ranged Spider: An autonomous drone for military applications. Special Rule: Independent Units (Gains 5/5 Armor and 2/2 Internal Structure, has a Ranged attack of 1d3 per Unit size.).

Special Rules:
-Uses the stats of PD in Combat until she is destroyed.

Trophies:
1x Banner of Lumination (Eversun)

Traits:
Mutated:
Strangely striated blue eyes with overly responsive irises. Metallic gray hair that moves about and generates mild electric shocks and vibrates to create simple tones, all of which mark this person as a Mutated. They will need help getting people to like them.
(-20 to Diplomacy for any Locals/Elites they interact with, as long as the Opinion on Mutated is at (0/3). -20 to the malus for every point in the negative, +5 for every point in the positive.)

Mutation: Lamba Volondavenona (25/25):
Aria's Mutation originates in the city-state of Jahi, a once vassal of the Empire, before being absorbed into the greater nation due to unrest and rising violence. As the Gene-Smith explained, her hair is akin to radio, allowing her to receive and transmit radio waves when trained. While this Mutation wouldn't be of much use, her brain has also been altered to decode and understand said transmissions. Further, she has finally figured out why she doesn't scar even with deep wounds! Her Mutation prevents her body from going "Good Enough" and stops healing, forcing it to repair all injuries perfectly. When Aria attempted to perceive the Regions transmissions, she said it was akin to a whisper within a hall. She also said that her head started to hurt when she looked at the second moon, though its odd ability to hinder or distort radio waves is well known.
(+60 to all rolls made with PD.)

Bloodied Knight-Pilot:
You have joined the illustrious Elite of the world, where the entry is life-long service, and the exit is at the end of a weapon. Yours will be a life of war, death, and struggles, bringing hope to despairing hearts, rallying flagging defenders, and protecting those in your shadow. Do not stumble, for the consequences are grave.
(+10 to all rolls after using a Knight in Combat.)

1st Generation Pilgrim:
This person has not been converted to the Pilgrim's belief but was raised in it from a young age. Their faith has always been a part of their life, guiding their actions even when choosing to leave. People will find it hard to sway their devotion should they remain.
(Actions to subvert Aria roll with a malus.)

We Can Do It!:
Aria has been deeply empathetic, caring, and driven from a young age. Since joining the Pilgrims, she has grown into a relentlessly friendly and optimistic young woman, shaped by her adoptive family's experiences. With her determined personality, she picked up "a little bit of everything" at a young age by enthusiastically volunteering to assist in any and everything. She picked the brains of anyone willing to let her, though the more curmudgeonly among the Pilgrims find her boundless enthusiasm tiresome. But she will give everything she has in all she does, unfortunately, sometimes beyond that.
(+20 to all actions this Hero is assigned to, -10 for every Turn Relax is not chosen. Currently: -10)

Trauma: Common People Purge Survivor (16/16):
It has been years since the Purge, and you no longer feel overwhelmed or trapped by the feelings of terror and hopelessness as you once did. Instead, you have used that horror you survived as a drive to see it never repeated or minimized for as long as you live. You may occasionally still dream about the screams, the hateful faces, and the smell of burning flesh, but it adds to your conviction to see it never repeated.
(-5 to all Actions this Hero is assigned to, can be chosen as a starting character should a Purge happen. +10 to all Actions done by this Hero within Purge Turns.)

To Fling A Light:
Sometimes? Sometimes, being willing to help is not enough; doing all you can could fail, and people will die. You know that. You have seen that. Sometimes, sacrifice is needed. And if you can shoulder that burden so that others won't have to? You would gladly fling a light into the future at the cost of your life.
(???)

Human Wife - Chiedi
The delight of marriage with all of its wonders and happiness.

Daughter - Lillia
The first of what will assuredly be many, Lillia, has been adopted by Aria and Chiedi with the understanding that they will know nothing about parenting and will assuredly be overwhelmed by the many challenges and tasks in front of them. Little Lillia has become a nerve-wracking, curious bundle of exploratory babbling and grasping. And she can move on her own! And she is now speaking some words!

Object of Veneration - Indistinct- Guardian - (101/250)
Actions wreak changes, not of this person, yet for this one, as the world reveals itself to be more than it had been before, changed and yet static as it has been. Something seeks shelter within her shadow, behind her shield, and with her wrath, and so, the world moves to accommodate.
(+20 to all Diplomacy/Norqod Actions, Become More.)

Turi

Turi, Head Scholar of the Experimental Wing
Health: 1/1
Armor: 1/1 Armor
Training: Green (1/6) (-25 to Initiative)
Breakpoint: 6/7

Equipment:
-Dagger: 1 Damage per size (1 total)
-Armored Civilian Clothing: 1/1 Armor

Traits:
Interest In Experimental Oddities (4/5):
Ever since Turi was able to research the world and tinker, she has harbored an intense interest in things that most people dismiss or consider Blue Skies projects.
(+2d3 Successes per assignment to a Breakthrough Technology. Can be upgraded.)

Head Scholar of the Experimental Wing:
"Science is not the effort of a single person; it is the accumulated passion and experience of thousands coming together into a single project for a single purpose, again and again. I am but one more chain in the link from the dawn of time, and I shall ensure it endures until the end of mine at the worst."
(+50 to assigned Research Actions.)

Zest For Life:
"Why should I welcome death and drudgery when there is so much left to do, so much left to experience?"
(Turi can be assigned to a Single Project twice per Turn but will require a Turn of downtime afterward.)

Mother Of Electronic Life:
"Who's a good murder machine? Who's a good murder machine? You are! Yes, You Are! Now. Unscrew their kneecaps."
(Machines under Turi's command act in her stead, gaining 50% rounded-up Damage.)

"Lithsian Joy," Markus spoke softly, holding the delicate flower in the palm of his hand. The flower was grey and soothing, unassuming to all who did not care to look closer or to look at all. "It fits you the best. May I?" he said, offering the tiny thing to his friend, allowing him to place it in her hair.

"Why?" Silvia Jr. asked, walking along the paths sneaking through the Gardens of House Dall. As always, they were different from those he had seen back "home" or on one of the journeys they had taken to other families or Houses. It was even different from the gardens planned for Norqod and the hydroponics constructed within the town's lower levels.

"In its home, the flower is spurned because it grows in grey and black, something that seems more like a disease," he spoke, and Silvia waited for his explanation spoken in soft words. "The views of the ignorant and the willingly blinded. Lithsian Joy enriches the soil, wards off pests, can heal with teas made from its roots, and its smell calms the mind."

"And how is it similar to me if it wards off pests?" Silvia slyly asked with a smirk, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. Markus felt his heart skip a beat before he looked away.

"You do not suffer fools," he said firmly, despite the heat creeping up on his face. "Your hand is even, and your rulings will be backed by your parents, no matter what some may mutter."

She did not say anything for a moment, and then..."Throne Spike," she replied, making him look at her in confusion, her long tail swishing lazily behind her.

"Pardon?" He asked.

"It is a thorny bush, eager to make a fool bleed, yet it holds gentle buds within itself for when it rains. It is like you, but instead of thorns, you could make a lady bleed by comparing her to a flower thought of as a disease," she said, and, by the twitch of her lips, he knew it was a light joke.

"Should I compare you to a rose then, the most common of flowers given by fools with no imagination?"

"Please don't; they smell horrendous," Silvia Jr. snorted as the two continued walking through the garden.

---

The Great Kitchen. A name that hid what it truly was, what this one building represented for the people of Tessen and the future that the Pilgrims wished to bring about. A name that was, at once, humble and powerful.

Step within its confines, and you are not met with grand splendors, towering edifices to its builders and backers, names and artworks of the Empire's noble and historical heroes, not the works of gifted architects and masterwork stonemasons. No.

Step within, and you are met with a massive hall, rows upon rows of tables stand beyond count, one after another, pillars reaching into the sky to hold up the ceiling adorned plainly with artificial light shining its yellow glow upon hundreds, thousands, eating below. No long lines are sneaking beyond one's eyes, for the pillars themselves hide stairways and doors from which people emerge one after another in endless streams, carrying large cauldrons filled with stew or porridge, crates of bread and salt, small slices of meat and sausages, all brought from the kitchens toiling underneath one's feet around the clock to feed all who entered.

There were no barriers here, no division between those who ate and hungered. Walk inside the Great Kitchen and grab a plate, bread, and a piece of meat if you desire, then find a space to sit...and eat. There was no need to pay, though many still donated what they could. Be it a crown from a wealthy follower of the Pilgrimage, or a benevolent patron who saw what we did here as right and just and good, or a single coppery duke by a beggar that held only one more within their hand, frame strengthened by food more filling than a loaf of sandbread cooked with scraps and thrown to the streets. One could eat for free, and no money was demanded, no matter how often you returned. Be it once, twice, or every day.

This was not a monument to pride, high ideals, or grand ambitions.

For Barric, the Grand Kitchen was everything the Pilgrimage had built itself to be; a humble march unto a future free of greedy misery and isolation, where fires burned only to warm oneself instead of all who could fit around the flickering warmth.

Standing up, Barric felt the scars on his arms twinge at the movement, skin pulling taut as he returned the plate he had eaten from alongside the cutlery given to him. Scars gained in days when a glass of strong ale was the greatest of things to look forward to after a week of scrapping and stealing in a gang that fought for itself...both outside and inside. The Black Hounds had once been what family meant to him, the close community of thieves, beggars, and thugs, willing to brawl and cut for any piece of the share given by those at the top...if one did not seek to climb to those "lofty" heights themselves.

Once, when he starved with rags on his back, he had looked upon those who preached of growing wings on your back to reach for the heavens as fools and idiots, his mind casting them in every light and shadow it could to justify the knife sliding into flesh or the fist breaking bones, just to grab coins and goods for another day of life in the "luxury" of a stomach sated and a body warmed in the nights.

That was when he ignored all faith as lies told to idiots when he thought that those who labored for others first and themselves second were damaged in the head. It was before he needed aid from a healer and was given it by one paid by the coins donated by Pilgrims. It was before he was shown that faith did not mean to put your life and future into the hands of beings beyond sight and mind but that it could be in those who would stand side-by-side with you.

Those who would labor for the homeless now.
Those who would heal the wounded now.
Those who would search for the lost now.
Those who would struggle for the forgotten now.
Those who would walk a road whose end they would never see.

Not speak about the house they would gain in pious death.
Not lecture about the corruption of the soul seeping into flesh and bone.
Not ignore all who knelt with mangled limbs at the side of roads with empty hands held upwards for alms.
Not hunt those deemed lowest by happenstance of birth or a mistake once made.
Not those who spoke with gentle smiles one truth as their hands slit the throats of the lamb upon the altars.

Barric had plenty of sins upon his back and soul, more than one mistake he wished to erase from existence or bury underneath the pages of history.

But a life of piety would not mend the flesh he had sunk a knife into. Prayers would not return the coins he had swiped. No ritual could unmake the past.

But by his hands, he could ease suffering now. He could feed the hungry now. He could build homes. He could light a fire for a better tomorrow.

His past was done and set in stone. But his future was one he would choose, and he chose to spend it aiding those once like him. Be it here or in the Broken Crossroads.

The competition created by the Bureau For Imperial Civilian Logistics to produce a notable upgrade to the Empire's weaponry wielded against its foes is...unusual in more than one sense. While there have been multiple instances where the Empire desired for unique weapons to be developed that could be used in specialized circumstances or for a foe that needed a countermeasure developed as soon as possible, this level of directed weapons research has been, up to now, unprecedented.

This fact is further compounded by the glaring nature of the competition; to reduce the need for specialists as one wields Coilguns, weapons that, notably, have only been used by Knight Chapter and Forge-Clans themselves, with the Royal Regiments not using those weapons despite their devastating power in favor of more reliable and mass-producible options...even if the same are still the best weapons given out to the regiments of the Empire.

While one can see this as a massive miss-step by the Imperial Family, ordering the development of technologies that will phase out another lever of power for the Forge-Clans they are unwilling to give up, others see this as a clever ploy by the Bureau to pit the various Forge-Clans specializing in weapons research against each other, dangling the massive reward of an Imperial Favor in their face to blind them with greed to the downsides of not closing ranks and refusing to deliver what is requested. Whether or not that is the truth is impossible to say. Still, one can infer that, by the mutterings of the various Elders within Norqod, the competition between those Forge-Clans in the race has only intensified in the last months, security and caution thrown out by one team after another, seeking to progress further than all other Clans to secure the Favor by nearly all means. Thankfully, espionage and violent means have not yet been deployed, but one need not be a pessimist to see that the seeds for such have already been sown with the slow decline of the Forge-Clans iron hold over high technology.

For us, this is not something that we need to be overly concerned with, as those Forge-Clans in the race are unlikely to see us as a competition, despite the massive advances made in the fields by Turi during the last season (even if more than one person has voiced deep concerns due to her utter fixation on the project, almost to the point where she neglects to eat and sleep). Yet, once the winners are announced, with our teams believing our chances to win to be around 60-80%, that can swiftly turn around, and several Clans may enact revenge against us if we do win.

Should something like that occur, the most likely suspect would be Forge-Clan Mashiiir, as it has not only been declining harshly in recent decades but also because it has been leaked that its Elders seek to use the Favor to bring several strategic resources under their control by being allowed to send out pioneers and settlers on their own initiative, with the resulting settlements under their command and control.

---

The Twisted Factory is one of the newly discovered locations within the Underground Necropolis, in an area creatively named 'The Feasting Table' due to a joke about the entire area being like a table filled with food set out in the slums. The name of the factory comes from the fact that, despite the purpose of the building being that of manufacturing items of unknown nature, the layout of the rooms, halls, machines, and supporting infrastructure is...strange. Manufacturing lines feed from the interior into hidden smelters, which output the resulting slag to be recycled into halls that separate the metals into hundreds of lines that vanish or stop in rooms and machines that hold either too little or too many materials to be usable for their purpose. Offices border directly unto roads, with some even nestled directly adjacent to tracks that carry carts filled with produced items or parts, while rooms such as toilets, restrooms, and kitchenettes are either too far away or non-existent within.

The name is further compounded by the weird layout of the hallways themselves. Some continue on for far longer than our scavengers feel they should, and many describe a constant feeling of creeping paranoia and unease within. The empty spaces and twisting halls are filled with openings and connections that make it basically impossible to establish a fortified safe room or base camp. That no Machines, Animals, or Mutants have been discovered within only adds to the unease our scavengers and scouts feel.

Yet, despite that, the bounty to be claimed within makes the perceived dangers and mental stress worth it, with Artifacts of industrial nature and corpses of twisted amalgamation found, both able to fetch a high price and capable of disclosing secrets gleaned from a past that produced them. Alongside the duty to recover all Artifacts they can gather, precious resources and materials can also be found and brought back to the Chapter. Gold, jade, copper, silver, and fragments of Jewel are readily found on the floor, within the offices, and on machines, or hidden in storage rooms filled with rotting and rusting furnishings that have long since decayed into unusability.

It is unlikely that the Twisted Factory will run out of secrets within the century and, even with educated guesses, will be able to continue justifying the effort invested into hunting down and searching for Artifacts and precious materials for the one after that.

An Imperial Convention is the singular most momentous event that a Noble could ever hope to attend.

It is not only a gathering of movers and shakers from the Empire's industrial, mercantile, and military sectors, not just bankers, magnates, Forge-Clan representatives, military leaders, court politicians, and inventors.

It is not merely a place where thousands of nobles will gather to discuss the Empire's future and, thus, the world's, with all the opportunities and dangers that come with such a massive concentration of political power.

It is, in essence, a gathering of all noble Houses that rule a Region within the Empire, all reigning sovereigns of dynasties and Houses that are backed by power, secrets, and alliances that force even the Imperial Family to maneuver with care, all of those who can wield the might of Regions like one would wield a tool.

An Imperial Convention is all of them coming together at the behest of the current Emperor or Empress, called and summoned by their decree and order to convene and gather so that concerns and laws can be brought to the forefront, enacted, dismissed, resolved, and penned into eternity.

Only fourteen Imperial Conventions have been called in the Empire's history, the most notable one establishing a Mutated's right to free movement. In the aftermath, several Noble Houses were censured and removed from history when they refused to heed the decision and will of the Empire made manifest.

That this Imperial Convention was called to deal with the matters of Airships, Suspendium, and the economic, societal, cultural, military, and religious consequences of their widespread use and distribution is not an indicator of indecision, of seeking counsel, or an attempt to divulge himself from the responsibility to solve the same by Emperor Elianus of Slatnan, but a sign that he decrees the Empire to heel, united and as one, to decisions made under his command and rule.

To ignore him; foolish.
To refuse him; suicuidal.
To oppose him; the death sentence of a legacy entire.

Sweat trickled down his neck, his back coated in the salty liquid seeping into cloth and armor, his arms glistening with the water evaporating to keep himself cool within the humidity within the Overgrown Hydroponics. Every step felt like moving within a soup, like walking amid a rain that did not fall but clung to one's skin, bones, eyes, hairs, and lungs, the heavy air filled with heat that he was well accustomed to, yet found the water floating within to be the knife in his back that he could not bear.

"This humidity will be the death of us all," he wheezed, a glance at the watch on his arm reminding him that he had another minute before he needed to take a swig of water to keep himself hydrated. Then, it was another hour of walking before they could rest in one of the climate-controlled rooms that had been found.

"Stop whining," Herre muttered back, taking his ax against a vine that had grown in the week since they had walked through here, the sharp metal sinking into the thick limb before being pulled back, green water and sticky sap flowing back and splattering against the plants and ground around them. "Spare your comrades the negativity, Liso."

"As you say," Liso replied, eyeing a budding flower with trepidation. Purple and blue...poisonous. He stepped around the thing, a hand raised with the signal of poison thrown against the bud for those behind him. "But we'll be out of this hell in a month, and I won't step back here if I can prevent it."

"You will," Herre muttered darkly, walking on as he hacked at another vine, sap, and water spraying once, twice, thrice before the limbs fell away limply and started to water the ground. "We all will. The find is too important; the Council seeks something within, and we have found the surest thing it could rest within."

Liso...could only continue marching, taking a bottle filled with lukewarm water out of his bag and unscrewing the cap before he took a sip and looked onward blankly. He knew not what the Council sought, nor what Lord Dall had seen or found within that expedition from which the Six Disturbed returned...but he knew one thing.

The Forest that grew underneath their feet, so many flights of stairs sunken below the ground, could not be natural. Gods Of The Old be damned, what magics had the Ancients wrought for those titans of stone and flesh to grow against fake suns nestled in their crowns?
