And yet more bug-fixes:
Shouldn't Poor Houses go under Pilgrim Buildings?
I only just noticed that in the Pilgrims Holdings tab, it's referred to as a Commerce District. Which is it? May seem like a minor quibble, but Confucius emphasized the rectification of names, and my compulsiveness agrees.

And on a completely different subject, I went and decided to do some BEEG MATH FOR TENETS. *cue theme music*
So, using our current membership numbers and our base recruitment rate, we'll hit the next target of 5,000 in ~20 turns (including this one). For us, at base recruitment that means our main chapter will gain 720 recruits (or +14 to Piety Loss rolls) - but this doesn't count for the bonus recruits we'll get from We Are One People! and other sources.
Therefore, after doubling for Eternal Path's +1 for 25, I decided to highball our total PL gain mods at +170. Our current PR reduction mod is -62. That leaves us to come up with -108 to achieve equilibrium. Here's what I got from the available options (assuming no multiple building of each type per city):
In short: it's definitely doable.

It's my marker for the 2 Vanar-Feer Learning auto-successes, since you haven't provided an official designation code.
Edit: Also you need to fix the Turn Threadmark, it should be 82.

Wanted to give someone else some time to do rolls, but since everyone's a coward... and all the good rolls were just one off too late. A nat 100 on the Scouting the Machinery Caverns though... we might be getting something really good.

Rumors:
Forge-Clans Confirm Reported Use Of Nuclear Weaponry By The Shield-Belt-Alliance - The Tessen SpeakerIn disquieting news from the Shield-Belt Alliance, the usage of Nuclear Weaponry was confirmed by several Forge-Clans near the border, registering the spike in background radiation and interference in sensitive electrical systems alongside orbital photography reporting several dozen bright flashes near the eastern edge of the Infectious Geometry Necropolis. After an emergency dispatch by the Emperor and several dozen more Vassal State rulers, the SBA remained silent for an uncomfortable amount of time regarding their breach of the unspoken agreement to keep the use of Warcrime Warheads to zero if possible and offer an immediate explanation when used against non-human targets at request. However, the time taken to reply was required as only some members of the Alliance had been aware of the deployment of the WW, with several scrambling themself to get any scrap of information about the reason behind their use. In a statement two days after the deployment, High-Cryptograph Fei-Kil Nhätjul, who had ordered their use, stated that the WW had only been used in an utter emergency as the Infectious Geometry had tunneled outside the walls and cordons, allowing its malignant forces to spill forth in a location that was utterly unprepared to defend itself from the onslaught that was to follow. The news has been received with some relief by many non-Alliance nations. However, inner-Alliance members have begun to scramble troops, equipment, and materials to create another cordon akin to the eastern wasteland, which ensures that the crystalline machines spilling forth in endless hordes are contained. Emperor Elianus of Slatnan has graciously lifted all tariffs on non-military goods traded with the SBA to alleviate some of the economic stress put upon them to manage this threat to all humanity without worrying about the costs.

The Unbidden Arboretum Spews Forth Black Rain For Second Week - The Truthful Observers
Another week passes, and another week of Black Rain descends from the Unbidden Arboretum in endless quantities, its malignant corrosive poisons seeping into soil, stone, people, animals, and machines alike, incurring yet more casualties as they people caught outside or with failing security measures die painfully and slowly. However, despite the continued dangers of the Black Rain, Duke Hirst has not requested support from Emperor Elianus, stating that "Such a rain has been anticipated for years, and its occurrence now is a relief in actually, as the Unbidden Arboretum will calm down and settle its creation of dangers for the next decades significantly. While many have died, their numbers are far lower than they were the last time it happened, a result of my policy and the dogged preparations of my people." We can only hope that his words are right, though history lends itself to his statement.

Pushback Against New Pilgrim-Run Orphanage - Rags, Rumors, And Rants
"No Children For Fanatics!" "Keep Your Hands Away!" "Indoctrinate Yourself, Not Our Future!" Such words and more adorn the outside of many a building within the Region, particularly those cities that have, or will have, a Pilgrim-operated Orphanage within them. The posters, alongside flyers distributed through paid-for agitators, warn people about the dangers of allowing the Pilgrims to operate these structures without high levels of oversight, claiming that they indoctrinate the children raised within into yet more followers of their Religion and see Mutated as full equals to "pure humans" of the Empire. While striking a cord within many, equally many see this as slander against a religion that has often worked to better their lives, alongside the fact that the Orphanages are practically co-operated by the Pilgrims and Followers of Light, with the Pilgrims paying all the costs in materials, money, and workers to build them without complaint.

Region Report/s
Region Report/s
Tensions between the nobility and the Knight-Chapter of the Last Light reached a critical point when, offering one insult too many, Knight-Pilot Gerhard demanded an honor duel between himself and Lady Ityika of House Are, a duel that she haughtily accepted, stating that they would fight using hammer and shield, her favored weapons, outside the city in a secured dueling grounds.
While Knight-Commander Sebastian Sevallus was initially outraged at the conduct of his pilot, he eventually acquiesced to the duel, giving it his begrudging approval after stating that this was a matter not sanctioned by the Chapter and would be kept private between the two individuals involved. A statement all too eagerly accepted and echoed by House Are before both duelists assembled their guard and agreed on the neutral observers required to keep the duel civil and along the rules enshrined in the laws of the Bone Valley.
One of those rules states that the defeated forfeits their life should they attack after yielding, which opens the door for the family of the (presumed) dishonorably killed duelist to demand a high price from the family of the one that broke the rule. A rule that was invoked by Knight-Pilot Gerhard himself over the still-warm corpse of Lady Ityika after she had tried to break his spine after her hand had been broken, and she yielded in pain.
While House Are has given over a substantial sum and struck Ityika from their family lineages, the mere fact that she would do such a thing in the first place has only served to turn tensions between the noble Houses and the Knight-Chapter from one of hot-headed jeering to cold distrust.

Spy-Network:
Spy-Network:
The Marquess of Tessen has been confirmed pregnant, much to the Region's joy. A day of celebration was held on their purse, which has only made people cheer on her pregnancy even more!
House Ulatarn has concluded their investigation, finding that, while undoubtedly not competent, the offspring tasked with overseeing the villages haven't destroyed them with incompetence or malicious neglect. Only a poor string of incidents happened closely together, conspiring to cast a bad light on all those who failed their charges.
House Mirn is tweaking the last bits of the exhibition but is in the final phases of the conceptual stage and has already begun preparing an area within Jokvi to hold the buildings where it shall occur.
The Military has informed all Knight Chapters of a potential problem and placed several regiments near the core-ward sections of Tessen on a low alert.
The Bureau For Imperial Civilian Logistics is keeping itself from storming Norqod to get its hands on Suspendium. They really want some to experiment with potential industrial applications.
The Followers of Light are doing their duty.
The Adventurer Guild is only upping their recruitment, with several dozen new bands registered at record speed, each over fifty members strong. Enough members to qualify for high-danger contracts right off the bat.
Dirty Daggers are sheathing their knives all over the Region, congregating and waiting within their local gathering spots and generally milling around to the dissatisfaction of the lower ranks. However, their recruitment has gotten far more aggressive.
The Family has finished something and is moving parts of their infrastructure alongside their heads and members.
The Common People are not doing anything of particular note or concerned with many things beyond the ordinary. Though some are getting suspicious about our push to build more and more orphanages, pushed along by slander appearing within towns and cities.
The Mutated are generally content with their lot in life.

Is this about the missiles?
Why don't they ask to buy some? Shouldn't they have their own budget?

Its about the botanical exhibition, not the missiles.
And they can't buy Suspendium, as it is a strategic resource currently utterly gobbled up by the Imperial Aerial Navy Bureau and 3-Point University in its entirety. You are the only ones that can sell them some, but they don't have the political permission to go out and buy/ask for some due to Emperor Elianus putting the focus on using what they have for things that will pay off now, while they still have a titanic advantage. They can start fiddling with Suspendium in a few years/decade, as far as he is concerned. Getting ships up to bolster logistics today is more important than getting some theories on levitating cranes that cost the same as four conventional ones in two years.
