- The Pilgrims
Unfortunately for them, this also meant that neither spoke up for far too long, making their older sister huff in annoyance and grab both their heads, lightly knocking them against each other before pointing at the edge of their camp, a grinning boy waving at them and their suddenly far darker and pained expressions. "Latrine duty, one week for arguing again," she said, and her eyes glinted with hidden malice as both opened their mouths, "or maybe it will be two?" Both looked at each other, then at her again, before shaking their heads in rapid denial, scurrying away from her and out of her sight, though not quickly enough to make her miss their whispered hisses at each other. They didn't miss her shout, "Two for arguing it is!"
Shaking her head, Akane lightly scratched at the base of her left horn, her hopes of having an easy journey without too much trouble to the Sunken Hollows dashed a mere week in, but all over the same woman. "Path guide me," she sighed, hoping that both would get over her, as she was sure that the woman was playing on the same team as them, given how she looked at the cook. "Well, I'll burn that bridge once I get to it," she muttered, walking off to solve yet one more problem that had cropped up during the day.
The garden of House Alker had seen many things in its illustrious service to the family that planted, nourished, watered, and developed every leaf and every branch within its trees and coordinated the flowers from the tiniest ever-bloom to the haughtiest and fragile day-bloom gracing its soil, walls, and benches. It was, after all, a place of rest and recuperation, a shelter to offer solace and silent company and empty the soul from all that chained the weeping and shocked. It had been everything from the joyous site of children's laughter and merriment to the cold calculating mathematics of business and coins and even witness to silent spilled blood as depraved desires met knives and necks.
What it was not witness to, however, was the form of Lady Ti Alker sitting in her room, bottle in hand, one more on her table, already emptied over the day as she stared at the letters that she had written and those still staring blankly at her from empty sheets of paper. The garden was not a listener to her thoughts, though their nature would have shriveled its leaves and rotted the roots underneath the soil, drinking up specially crafted solutions aiding their health and growth, for they were the thoughts of a woman trying to dig herself out of a grave she should have been smart enough to not dig, or even touch the shovel at all after having a stray errant thought about setting the tool upon the sand and soil.
She had been angry about the action of her son, but she was not stupid; despite what she had apparently been trying to convince the world of these past seasons, she had known that the Pilgrims were under constant surveillance of the IS, their ranks as thoroughly infiltrated as only those who held a strategic resource in their grasp could be. House Dall was young, but it was a Prevter House, charged with their duty by writ of the Emperor personally, the gaze of holy Slatnan firmly on their family and work, they would not have seen fit to bestow such a prestige upon a Mutated and her husband had they not earned that privilege of ennoblement.
And yet, here she had still been, raging and throwing a fit like a teenager finding out their crush had had a date with another with whom they had confided their affection. Like a child, she had lashed out as hard as she could, caring not for the consequences that would rear their ugly heads once her personal crusade had run its course, questions being asked and fingers starting to point as her ability to sway the masses and the minds of the commoners begins to wane and fizzle out.
Thankfully, that point was yet not reached; there was still some time she could use to move and deal, though it would cost her plenty of coins and words, favors and time too, to wrench herself out of the entire thing, only being hit by the edges of the lash back without having to endure the brunt of the ire of IS and other Houses alike. She held no illusion that the former knew what she had done and that they were archiving every letter she had written in senseless anger for use in the future. But she hoped that she could mark herself as merely one of those too fed up with the new cult that had ensnared Tessen so quickly and brought so much instability and opportunity in a mere two decades. Those people tended to be merely mocked on the grand scale of things rather than brought to the metaphorical chopping block before cheering masses out for blood without care if noble or common.
"Hey, you got the new schematics from the practical tests done?" Veda's voice echoed into the recently hollowed-out chamber; banks of glittering metal and sparkling electronics illuminated the dim space where the shut-off lights couldn't reach. "And why's it so damn dark in here?" He asked, fumbling momentarily before his grasping hands found the light switch, flipping the small lever to bring forth a cascade of blinding light over every hidden nook and concealed cranny. It also revealed to him the splayed-out form of Phan, the woman lying on the floor with limbs every way and hair in a wild tussle. "OH, Sh-!" Veda cursed, rushing to his friend's side, frantically trying to see if she was still breathing or if this was something less serious.
Luckily for both, Phan was still alive, as her tired and sunken eyes glared at the ceiling with the sheen and shine of living eyes whose soul still rested within. "She was right," was all that she muttered in response to Veda trying, and failing, to get her to focus on him and tell him what had happened. "So you know how much money I lost three hours ago?" Phan asked, tilting her head to look at a now confused Veda, a hand on one of her wrists to check her pulse as he visibly tried to figure out if her rambling was due to exhaustion, dehydration, or something else.
"Phan, you were lying on the ground in a dark room," Veda slowly said, pronouncing each word as clearly as possible. "I do not see how you losing some money is of any importance here. If anything, you rambling about that is a sign that you should get to a medic or healer now rather than later!" True to his words and to no resistance from Phan, Veda slowly lifted her onto her feet, an arm around her, before he began to walk her out of the room. Well, he tried since Phan stopped after several steps.
"Veda," she gravely spoke, looking into her friend's eyes with a seriousness that concerned him deeply. "Where can I rent or bribe the crew of a Caravaner to let me and Savi on board without being interrupted for a few hours? Her predictions about the airscrews were correct, and now I owe her an air screwing."
Phan stared at her.
He ignored her yelp of surprise as he let her fall to the ground, his face blank as he walked out of the room, shutting off the light as he did so, her voice of protest fading with every step.
"King and Queen of the Antlers we," Bri hummed to herself, quick hands nimbly twisting spools and thread whirring 'round and 'round on the looms towering over her head. "No other deers so grand we see," she murmured as a thousand lines buzzed with tension and held-back strength on the metal appendages that held them in their steely and uncaring embrace. "None but we have horns like we," she continued, the clacking and droning of the machinery above her head rattling and sputtering like a wheezing lizard as fast hands worked levers and removed spools from one end to be replaced by yet another of its kin, threads racing to join the others flowing across the halls like water made solid. "With lovely-"
BWOOOOMP
The shift-ending claxon jerked her out of her thoughts and song like it always did, the jarring sound required to pierce through the sound of the thousand-fingered machinery buzzing and whirring and working and droning its metallic glory and work into the large hall and the ear-protection placed upon the heads of those working in its guts and on its side and ends, feeding it yet ever more material or taking its produce for the hall over where its sibling stands, snorting and stamping clothes from cloth as it does make cloth from threads.
Moments pass as Bri stands ready, eyes watchful and hands nimble, another spool prepared to be inserted yet knowing it shall not be her job to do, as a lithe man with four arms steps into the cramped compartment that had been a bit roomy before, expert movements passing over the spool before dancing feet took her from the box to the ladder-like stairs and down low, far beneath the humming and roaring machine that cared not for the passing of shifts and the change of hands that fed its mouths all around.
For Bri, it didn't matter how the machine would now be fed and have its insatiable hunger alleviated, for her shift had ended. She was now free to do with her day as she pleased, quick feet placing her in the lines with the other workers to receive her day's salary, coins changing hands, and stamps upon her worker pass marking her leaving the premises of the manufactory at the end of a regular shift. So, with a quickness in her steps and a tune in her head, Bri began to hum once more as she left into the shaded brightness of the open air. "We think so then, and we think so still~," she sang, wondering what to do with her day.
Nera owned two treasures that nobody could take from him. Two, among the many dozen things he had owned and held in his life on the streets and within the orphanage, that meant more to him than anything he could possibly describe, his young mind not yet experienced enough to put words to his feelings and experiences in total without fumbling and diminishing that which he treasured above most if not all, things.
The second was the feeling of utter safety, happiness, glee, and pride he had felt, and still did, whenever Old Core allowed him to ride on his shoulder alongside others when he walked his new home on patrol. The giant machine was as gentle when it lifted him and others up or played with them as it was capable of vicious violence that had awed every child that saw him engage the large Mutant that, somehow, had slipped through the outer patrols and over the wall surrounding Norqod when the Daughter had been away. Nera barely had a moment to catch a glimpse of the malformed thing with way too many arms crawling far too fast in his direction before Old Core had simply taken a single step, his right arm blurring before a crack like thunder had knocked him on his back and kicked up sand and dust all around. The next thing he saw of the Mutant was a vaguely cone-shaped red-brown stain from where it had been, soldiers and House Guards rushing to the scene with weapons drawn and voices raised. That had been the second most incredible thing he had ever seen; right after that parade with the War and Scout Lizards all dressed up in finery and colors, the first giant beasts of war that held their riders adorned with the heaviest armor with ease, the latter nimble and quick scouts and climbers, decorated by the same feathers as their riders dressed in, cloaks of shimmering and iridescent feathers of all colors shifting with every movement of rider and beast alike.
But, regardless of that, Nera still owned one other treasure that nobody could take from him. It was something that many of his friends took for granted, that most of them thought weird to lack, having grown up within Norqod for all or most of their lives, with little of the deaths that stalked all others present here, sheltered by overwhelming military might and expert medical knowledge as they were.
And that treasure was the look of surprised pride his father had given him when he had called him "dad" by accident three weeks after adoption.

[ ] Communal Outreach - (Repeatable)
A hand given to the downtrodden, shattered, destitute, and outcast is not always accepted. Sometimes, the people who need help the most slap it away in rage at the sight of their "betters deigning to elevate the dirt beneath them," as some have said so eloquently.

[ ] Collapse Their Gravity - (Repeatable)
Even with the best intentions, unfucking the BHVs, on any scale, will be a monumental task requiring many hands and more people to work with you. Although Baron Esker has found some skill in improving the BHVs, in more than one letter to Lady Selene, he remarked that it would be cheaper to burn the whole settlement down and build anew were it not for those who already lived within.

[ ] Blessed Journeys - (Repeatable)
You can say what you want, but sometimes, the best option is to burn the bridge behind you and never look back. Contact whatever caravans you can to see if you can't bribe them to take Mutated out of the BHVs they visit. Of course, while popular with the Mutated, people won't like that you are giving "criminals and scum" a free card to civilization.
(Cost: 23 Goodwill
Reward: +6% Piety, +1 Mutated Opinion (Once), gives a safe way out of the BHVs for the Mutated.)

[ ] The Pilgrims Need You!
Your missionaries can walk much further and stay out for much longer with the Inn's help, which directly translates to more people hearing the Pilgrims' message, though you may want to focus on one group to maximize its effect.

[ ] A Duty To Others Is Not Taken Lightly
As our numbers swell, so does our ability to reach out to many more people than before. With word, deed, and art, we can reach out to those on the edge of their decision and bring them into the fold for the good of all. Ours is a duty not taken lightly, but it is a duty one does not need to shoulder alone.

[ ] Low, Not Lowly
Some do not wish to remain and fight for such with every fiber among the poor, desperate, and huddled masses. Those we do not seek out with this effort, but those who made pacts to sell their fellows for money or status. Their choice may be one they believe to be done consciously, but in reality, it is made from circumstance and hidden desperation. We cannot bring all who fell up, but we can start with some.

[ ] This Is Not Eternal, Even Stone Will Change
We know where to seek those who banded together into gangs and which members must be targeted to shatter them into a thousand pieces. What we are doing may not be strictly legal, but infiltration and subversion of criminal elements is a long tradition among growing religions. Even better, many who had found homes amongst the gangs can be brought into the fold.

[ ] Begin Preparations For New Region Conversion
We have grown far beyond what Martyris had envisioned in numbers, wealth, knowledge, connection, and faith. So much so that some among our numbers seek new horizons to establish a new chapter, satellite, or outpost of the Pilgrims. We should accommodate their wishes, as they will aid us back in time and turn.

(Turns: 2

Reward: A New Chapter Interlude Turns)
[ ] Feed The Masses - (Choose City)
There is a difference between feeding starving, hungry people and ensuring that all have a full belly at the end of the day. That would be the Pilgrims' first significant project, which would do more than keep things from worsening for the poor.
(Turns: 6
Reward: Grand Kitchen, -8 to Piety rolls, +0.6 Goodwill per Turn, 4d20 recruits, 5d6 Goodwill, 3d8 Piety.)
[ ] Establish Soup-Kitchens Within Outlying Towns
While being careful and methodical has helped, you can now afford to perform these projects in a scattershot approach with your expanding numbers. With the major cities now being adequately covered, with few people going through their day without encountering a Pilgrim Sponsored food kitchen, we can branch out into the smaller outlying towns, with populations of ten thousand people and less.
(Turns: 9
Reward: 60d20+80 Recruits, +1.00 Goodwill per Turn, unlocks further actions.)
[ ] Improve Your Poor Houses
While you have a house where some people can work themselves out of the holes society left them in, many will need the same. So expand what you have built; the work still needs to be completed.
(Turns: 3
Chance: 55%
Reward: Improved Poorhouses, +0.20 Goodwill per Turn, -3 to Piety Rolls.)
-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 0.50 Goodwill)
[ ] Establish A Small Hospice Network
While a Hospice caters to the dying, its primary purpose is to heal the sick who cannot afford to see a doctor. With your allies and growing knowledge, you are confident that you can establish over a dozen within Tessen at once.
(Chance: 43%
Reward: +0.20 Goodwill per Turn, 2d4 Goodwill, unlocks further actions.)
-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 0.50 Goodwill)
[ ] Rudimentary Territorial Hospices - (City Territory)
Your treatments of the sick and injured within the Cities have enjoyed great popularity among the population. More and more people are coming to seek your aid, knowing that they will receive a quality of treatment and healthcare they couldn't afford. Unfortunately, that drive to seek treatment means that many people take journeys that will worsen their injuries beyond help and leave them dying in the place where they sought healing. We should create several hospices operating with minimal oversight outside the central trade lane and establish themselves for future expansions.
(Turns: 2
Reward: +0.20 Goodwill per Turn, +2 Recruits per Turn.)
[ ] A Home Away From Home
While the Tree of Knowledge is the center and Home of the Pilgrims, many projects and actions to help others happen away from it; traveling between the Tree and other cities takes time and resources. A small base closer to those places, serving as a shelter and temporary Home for the Pilgrims working there, could help.
(Reward: Local Base improving logistics and coordination.)
[ ] Localized Headquarters
Creating a shelter and expanding the building to encompass several barracks, a canteen, storage rooms, a medical section, and an administrative body will improve your efficiency within the city!
(Required: Local Base (Action)
Reward: Local Headquarters.)
[ ] Administrative Center - (Mirn)
Organizing hundreds of workers is challenging, requiring dedicated staff and learned minds in equal measure. However, with previous works having laid the groundwork, now is the time to compound the efforts of all those who helped, like assisting Pilgrims across Tessen to perform their duties with the necessary resources and hands.
(Required: Localized Headquarters
Turns: 6
Reward: Administrative Center.)
[ ] Build A School - (Small/Medium/Big) - (Choose City)
A place of learning, growing, and change, where all are welcome to learn in these halls, whether beggar or lord; none are turned away or asked to pay. Knowledge is a gift that should be shared, for it does not diminish when given to others.
(Already built within Mirn.

[ ] Build An Orphanage - (Size) - (Mirn)
Many will question you building this and will push against you doing so. Screw them! These children deserve a future where they can choose their Path, not one determined by their supposed caretakers' greed and callousness! They deserve happiness, safety, and love! However, some see our spade of building these as a way to induct children from a young age into our faith, with only the continuous involvement of the Followers having kept this from happening sooner, blocking and pushing back against further attempts to give children without families a home and a chance. If we wish to keep the children safe, we will need to take that into account, alongside further security commitments.
(Turns: 3/6/10
Chance: 20%
Reward: 0.02/0.05/0.08 Goodwill, -3/5/9 to Piety rolls.)
-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 0.01 Goodwill)
[ ] Build Outlying Fortified Orphanages
Now that every major City in Tessen is host to a grand edifice for the raising and sheltering of the most vulnerable of society, where the little ones can grow in peace and with enough meals to avoid going hungry (if not always by a tasty meal), alongside the chance to enter an apprenticeship should they not be adopted by couples before they grow too old and begin to age out of the system. The last part alone is far more than many can provide, as it takes time and money to train the next generation, and not many who shelter children from the horrors that took their families have the kind of money such would require. But we can, and with the cities covered, it is time to go over the towns outside the Green Zone, though they need to be far more armored and armed than those in the Cities.
(Turns: 15
Chance: 01% [-125]
Reward: 0.01 Goodwill, -5 to Piety rolls.)
-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 0.05 Goodwill)
[ ] Build A Humane Rudimentary Asylum - (Location)
Nothing stands between the creation of an Asylum led by the Pilgrims now. Contact local builders, set Marxcim to design the structure, and call for volunteers to be trained and paid for caring for the patients. Of course, some will see the giving over of the mentally ill to a religion-led institution as a terrible idea. Still, those voices will cease after some time has passed and, hopefully, recovered patients walk out of the Asylum. With ever-more knowledge of how the human mind functions come ever more means to treat those afflicted with mental diseases.
(Turns: 2
Cost: 6.90 Goodwill
Reward: Humane Primitive Asylum, +0.15 Goodwill per Turn.)
[ ] Build Another 'Consensual' - (Location)
You would charge an entry fee from patrons while leaving the workers alone to make their deals themselves. Creating a safe place for people to ply this trade, offering medicine, sanitary facilities, and guards would help those who chose this Path or use it. People sell their labor and time for money, so punishing those whose work is sex is crazy.
(Turns: 2
Reward: 'Consensual,' +0.02 Goodwill, unlocks an upgrade.)
[ ] Build Upon A 'Consensual' - (Choose City)
The brothel you built seems to have rapidly gained a reputation as a high-class establishment. While good for your purse, it is less suitable for those with less than 'expert talents' within the industry. By building new floors and digging some down, you could make enough space for all who tried to work in the Consensual but had to be turned away due to all rooms being full. It would be costly but will help those trying to escape forced sex labor but have no other applicable working skills. You would need to step up the security, though.
(Turns: 3
Reward: Upgraded 'Consensual,' +0.04 Goodwill.)
[ ] Cleaning Up The Mess - (Location)
Despite all you currently know about how Black Hole Villages operate, are constructed, and unintentionally reinforce poverty and crime via a feedback loop, helping those stuck within them will not be easy. Nor will it be a quick thing, done once and done cheaply. It will cost you money, time, materials, connections, and favors to help the Mutated within turn the villages into a settlement that people can live in without considering the sword's edge.
(Turns: 4
Cost: 40 Goodwill
Reward: Lessened Suffering of the Mutated
Notice: Goodwill costs will be reduced by 15 per use, down to 10. Strul has been "Cleaned.")
[ ] Mausoleum of the Forgotten - (City)
The last resting place of those who no longer have any that remember them, and the final site of their remains we manage to recover from wherever they died. Let their souls walk without the chains of disturbed slumber or defiled quiet.
(Turns: 4
Reward: Final resting place for the forgotten and discarded, -1 Piety.)
There is a difference between feeding starving, hungry people and ensuring that all have a full belly at the end of the day. That would be the Pilgrims' first significant project, which would do more than keep things from worsening for the poor.
(Turns: 6

[ ] A Home Away From Home
While the Tree of Knowledge is the center and Home of the Pilgrims, many projects and actions to help others happen away from it; traveling between the Tree and other cities takes time and resources. A small base closer to those places, serving as a shelter and temporary Home for the Pilgrims working there, could help.
(Reward: Local Base improving logistics and coordination.)
[ ] Localized Headquarters
Creating a shelter and expanding the building to encompass several barracks, a canteen, storage rooms, a medical section, and an administrative body will improve your efficiency within the city!
(Required: Local Base (Action)
Reward: Local Headquarters.)
[ ] Administrative Center - (Mirn)
Organizing hundreds of workers is challenging, requiring dedicated staff and learned minds in equal measure. However, with previous works having laid the groundwork, now is the time to compound the efforts of all those who helped, like assisting Pilgrims across Tessen to perform their duties with the necessary resources and hands.
(Required: Localized Headquarters
Turns: 6
Reward: Administrative Center.)
[ ] Build A School - (Small/Medium/Big) - (Choose City)
A place of learning, growing, and change, where all are welcome to learn in these halls, whether beggar or lord; none are turned away or asked to pay. Knowledge is a gift that should be shared, for it does not diminish when given to others.
(Already built within Mirn.
Turns: 3/5/6
Chance: 50%
Reward: 0.2/0.5/0.9 Goodwill, -2/5/9 to Piety Rolls.)
-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 16.75 Goodwill)
[ ] Build An Orphanage - (Size) - (Mirn)
Many will question you building this and will push against you doing so. Screw them! These children deserve a future where they can choose their Path, not one determined by their supposed caretakers' greed and callousness! They deserve happiness, safety, and love! However, some see our spade of building these as a way to induct children from a young age into our faith, with only the continuous involvement of the Followers having kept this from happening sooner, blocking and pushing back against further attempts to give children without families a home and a chance. If we wish to keep the children safe, we will need to take that into account, alongside further security commitments.
(Turns: 3/6/10
Chance: 20%
Reward: 0.02/0.05/0.08 Goodwill, -3/5/9 to Piety rolls.)
-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 0.01 Goodwill)
[ ] Build Outlying Fortified Orphanages
Now that every major City in Tessen is host to a grand edifice for the raising and sheltering of the most vulnerable of society, where the little ones can grow in peace and with enough meals to avoid going hungry (if not always by a tasty meal), alongside the chance to enter an apprenticeship should they not be adopted by couples before they grow too old and begin to age out of the system. The last part alone is far more than many can provide, as it takes time and money to train the next generation, and not many who shelter children from the horrors that took their families have the kind of money such would require. But we can, and with the cities covered, it is time to go over the towns outside the Green Zone, though they need to be far more armored and armed than those in the Cities.
(Turns: 15
Chance: 01% [-125]
Reward: 0.01 Goodwill, -5 to Piety rolls.)
-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 0.05 Goodwill)
[ ] Build A Humane Rudimentary Asylum - (Location)
Nothing stands between the creation of an Asylum led by the Pilgrims now. Contact local builders, set Marxcim to design the structure, and call for volunteers to be trained and paid for caring for the patients. Of course, some will see the giving over of the mentally ill to a religion-led institution as a terrible idea. Still, those voices will cease after some time has passed and, hopefully, recovered patients walk out of the Asylum. With ever-more knowledge of how the human mind functions come ever more means to treat those afflicted with mental diseases.
(Turns: 2
Cost: 6.90 Goodwill
Reward: Humane Primitive Asylum, +0.15 Goodwill per Turn.)
[ ] Build Another 'Consensual' - (Location)
You would charge an entry fee from patrons while leaving the workers alone to make their deals themselves. Creating a safe place for people to ply this trade, offering medicine, sanitary facilities, and guards would help those who chose this Path or use it. People sell their labor and time for money, so punishing those whose work is sex is crazy.
(Turns: 2
Reward: 'Consensual,' +0.02 Goodwill, unlocks an upgrade.)
[ ] Build Upon A 'Consensual' - (Choose City)
The brothel you built seems to have rapidly gained a reputation as a high-class establishment. While good for your purse, it is less suitable for those with less than 'expert talents' within the industry. By building new floors and digging some down, you could make enough space for all who tried to work in the Consensual but had to be turned away due to all rooms being full. It would be costly but will help those trying to escape forced sex labor but have no other applicable working skills. You would need to step up the security, though.
(Turns: 3
Reward: Upgraded 'Consensual,' +0.04 Goodwill.)
[ ] Cleaning Up The Mess - (Location)
Despite all you currently know about how Black Hole Villages operate, are constructed, and unintentionally reinforce poverty and crime via a feedback loop, helping those stuck within them will not be easy. Nor will it be a quick thing, done once and done cheaply. It will cost you money, time, materials, connections, and favors to help the Mutated within turn the villages into a settlement that people can live in without considering the sword's edge.
(Turns: 4
Cost: 40 Goodwill
Reward: Lessened Suffering of the Mutated
Notice: Goodwill costs will be reduced by 15 per use, down to 10. Strul has been "Cleaned.")
[ ] Mausoleum of the Forgotten - (City)
The last resting place of those who no longer have any that remember them, and the final site of their remains we manage to recover from wherever they died. Let their souls walk without the chains of disturbed slumber or defiled quiet.
(Turns: 4
Reward: Final resting place for the forgotten and discarded, -1 Piety.)
[ ] Healing For All! (Write-In Artifacts)
You have the money; they have the expertise. Announce that the Pilgrims will shoulder all costs for any medical procedure done by every doctor for the next three months.
(Chance: 70%
Reward: Healers gain Influence, 5d3 Goodwill.)
[ ] A Helping Hand
Now that you can create prosthetics, more than merely creating and selling them is required. Unfortunately, too many veterans, injured, disabled, or unlucky, cannot afford a new arm, leg, hand, or foot. So, to create a few hundred in bulk, ship them out to your hospices, where the doctors may gift them as required.
(Chance: 99/75%
Reward: Gain 3/7d3 Goodwill.
[ ] Festival Of The Delta
With money comes the ability to sponsor festivals, and with our numbers, the capability to fully take advantage of the festival for our ends in learning, conciliation, and creation. It will be costly, but it will be worth it.
(Turns: 1
Chance: 50%
Reward: +2d8 Goodwill, +3d20 Recruits, +35 to all Actions this Turn if successful.)
-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 0.75 Goodwill)
[ ] A Small Donation - (Organization) - (Topic) - (Donation Sum)
As the Pilgrim's wealth increases, so does the need to play politics within the Big League. This directly translates to donations towards organizations (like newspapers) that work towards a goal we provide for them. Nothing they would be against doing, but something they would be adverse to in normal circumstances.
(Cost: 50-Unlimited Goodwill

[X] We Are One People! - (Locals) - (5/6 Successes)
To harm someone because they look different is idiotic and utterly wrong. You cannot push another down and still call yourself righteous, no matter how they look. Even the lowest deserve our respect as fellow human beings. Start a propaganda campaign to change the Mutated view, unite the people, and start on the road to reconciliation.
(Chance: -10%/-10% for Locals/Elites (rolled each turn.) (+30 to the next Attempt.)

[X] Home of Dusk - (2/5 Turns Complete)
A structure is needed to store, train, and keep things you'd rather not have out in the open, be they machines, people, or items. Several places have been considered, though only one, shielded in a small valley smothering everything within in an ever-present half-shadow, has proven suitable. Setting aside funds to create a keep there would prove trivial to your agents.
(Cost: 5.75 Goodwill, Upkeep: 2 Goodwill
Turns: 5
Reward: Home of Dusk increases all chances to subvert your enemies and unlocks improvements to the structure and your training methods.)
[ ] Holding Chambers
Torture is inefficient, sloppy, and gives nothing but information spouted to stop the pain. Isolation and removal of all but the basest things, however...they can be good tools to use to ply weak minds to our advantage. It will also be an excellent place to store those you cannot kill but need to...dispose of.
(Cost: 21 Goodwill, Upkeep: 1.24 Goodwill
Turns: 2
Reward: Holding Chambers, increasing gathered information from caught spies and subversives.)
[ ] The Good Gardeners
Every farmer and gardener will tell you plants need pruning. There needs to be someone going around, cutting off unwanted and unneeded parts of those plants, be they trees or bushes, to allow the rest to grow more healthily. Some plants need to be ripped out root and stem so that they do not kill other plants that are good for the soil. Some may have fallen prey to blight and need to be removed for the good of all others. Those are valuable lessons to learn and good things to do. Find some people willing to become gardeners for the Pilgrims.
(Cost: 42 Goodwill, Upkeep: 6.48 Goodwill

It is time to ensure your spies are in place to ply their trade. This step focuses on laying the groundwork for future expansions and won't get you any detailed information. It is also little more than paying some people to pass on rumors, which is standard practice within Slatnan and will raise only a few eyebrows. Still, even basic knowledge may allow you to plan farther ahead.

[ ] Structural Integrity Studies - (Advanced Physics)
Building your first Airship revealed the myriad flaws, restrictions, and troubles plaguing future attempts to create more. Above all, designing a ship around, under, or above upwards forces is problematic. However, the pull and subsequent stresses upon material and components are nothing to dismiss. Therefore, determining how to negate or minimize those forces will prove a godsend for future attempts.

[ ] Armored Suspendium Bags - (Common Suspendium Theory/Advanced Suspendium Theory/Pioneer Suspendium Theory)
It's one thing to be within a cart, on the ground, and another in the air, held aloft by bags filled with crystals. Bags can easily be punctured and set aflame by a single well-placed shot or flying Mutant taking offense. While this will reduce the service ceiling of the Airship, it will increase its survival chances in a fight.
(Chance: 99/99/99 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 1
Reward: Gain Armored Suspendium Bags, increasing the structure of all ships with these bags. 7.500 Kg Lift)
[ ] Pressurized Suspendium Part 3a - (Advanced Suspendium Theory/Pioneer Suspendium Theory)
The pressurization of Suspendium has taught you many things about the dangers and benefits inherent in this endeavor. Yet, it has also opened your eyes to the relatively inefficient methods the Pilgrims use to enrich and pressurize Suspendium. A scholar group specialized in Suspendium has created a theory that you could increase your current Lift by around a tenth without issues if their proposed methods are viable. A worthy endeavor to pursue!
(Needed: Suspendium Shard - Large
Chance: 55/40/30 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 4
Reward: Gain Suspendium Pressurization and Enrichment Procedures - +10% Lift for all Lift Modules.)
[ ] Pressurized Suspendium Part 3b - (Advanced Suspendium Theory/Pioneer Suspendium Theory)

[ ] To Print In Three Dimensions (Pioneer Mechanics/Metallurgy/Hydraulics/Physics/Programming/Machinery/Electronics)
The 3D Metal Printer is, at the same time, simple yet complicated. The idea itself is deceptively straightforward: a machine that pours liquid material to create an item as if it were made of clay. The problem lies in its programming; it needs advanced models to build even the most basic bolt. This will require some thought.

Reward: Norqod Action Unlocked)
[ ] Tiantemu Alloying - (Advanced Mechanics/Metallurgy/Hydraulics)
The creation of steel is vital for many things, most notably all armaments of the Empire, but also all its defensive installation. However, beyond that, the search for ever-better alloys and alloying processes consumes many an industrialist and metallurgist, with the next step in material science ruthlessly chased. In our case, that would be the process by which we can create Tiantemu Alloys, used predominantly in the building of fortifications, as they are mixed with Neuotinium, the ancient alloys found in every Necropolis and supremely light and resistant to wear and tear.

[ ] Cutting Edge Technology - (All Weaponry)
When facing your enemies up close and personal, you can never go wrong with a good blade in your hand. What makes a knife great comes down to the skill of the smith and the quality of the metal used. While we can't do much for the former, there is much to improve on the latter. Using samples from the Necropolis, we can determine which alloys work best for each blade type. They will be too expensive for everyday life, but our military forces will be glad to have them.

[X] Coilgun Mystery - (Advanced Electronics/Weaponry) - (20/29 Successes)
It is well-known that the Forge-Clans have access to the best weaponry a mere mortal can hold: Coilguns. These weapons shoot pieces of metal in a way you can't quite fathom, its mysteries too well guarded, in devastating ways, turning people into nothing more than bloody chunks. It will take a long time to figure out the principle behind these weapons, but who knows what paths will open?

[ ] BURN IN HOLY FIRE! - Part 1 - (Physics/All Chemicals/Advanced Weapons)
Recently, your expedition acquired a surprisingly intact flamethrower from the Necropolis. Admittedly, the weapon may not be as good as those produced by the Forge-Clans today, but seeing as this version was intended for civilian use, you can excuse that. No pre-collapse government wanted potent weapons in the hands of their slaves, you see. Nonetheless, with this Artifact, you will start down the Path of creating Pilgrim-designed flamethrowers and all their uses in warfare and pest removal.

[ ] Power Armor - Primitive - (Advanced Electronics/Hydraulics/Armor)
Somehow, without even meaning to, the combination of ancient schematics, PD, the 4S, and your efforts have resulted in actual, if primitive, Power Armor worn by Elite Forge-Clan Troops and the Royal Army. It represents the height of what you can create; the costs are too prohibitive, though the maintenance is luckily easy and, notably, cheap due to several inventive and robust components. The single suit you have created has been used to develop cheaper ones to be worn by your Units. Figuring out a way to mass-produce, or at least not so costly, produce them would massively help contend sites within the Forest Of Rust.

The human mind is a complex labyrinth of contradictions, disorders, compulsions, needs, requirements, and desires, all pulling and shoving in different directions, always on the edge of breaking apart. One of the ways such things happen is due to chemical imbalances in the brain, causing misfires and shifts within the neurons, like a faulty computer glitching out due to a bug.

[ ] Seizing The Means Of Reproduction - (All Pioneer Chemicals/Medicine/Biology)
Having spent considerable time researching the topic has yielded far-reaching insights into all contraceptives, allowing you to state that you have the best everyone can create outside of the Forge-Clans. Not an answer you wanted but the response you got. Therefore, the next step will be to determine what is needed to produce and alter the contraceptives you know are viable.
(Chance: 18/-38/-96 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 48
Reward: You can make cheaper and better Contraceptives. +8d20 Goodwill, +4d10% Piety, +4 Followers from (ironically enough) births per Turn.

[ ] Lend A Hand, Arm, And Leg - Part 2 - (All Mechanics/Electronics)
Unfortunately, many lose a limb to either accident, disease, or injury. Regrettably, only those with wealth and connections can go to the Forge-Clans to get a replacement. But, primitive as our first attempts may have been, they were the first step in easing many people's suffering. Now, you need to focus on simplifying the construction of the limbs so that people do not need to sell a literal arm or leg to replace lost ones.
(Chance: 66/17/-33% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 14
Reward: Simple Prosthetics are now crafted and sold, +10% Piety)
[ ] Sticks And Stones - (All Machinery/Electronics/Metallurgy/Common Biology)
Until recently, all the knowledge about the human body's interior eventually traced back to horrific sources. But discovered in an ancient Bone-Mending Kit was a mysterious box that seems to see inside a person. Those images are better than anything modern medicine can produce by a massive margin. There's no overstating how much such an ability could help treatment - if only we could unlock the secret.
(Cost: Bone Mending Kits
Chance: 33/-12/-108% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 16
Reward: Vast Radiological improvements, treatment improvements for all medicinal buildings, +8% Piety, +2d3 Goodwill)
[ ] Combat Stimms Round 3 - (Pioneer Medicine/Biology/Chemicals)
Where natural talent fails, chemical talent can step in, but only sometimes and never permanently. Or could it? Is there such a thing as chemicals and drugs that aren't inherently harmful to the body in the long run, or are there ways to minimize the danger to almost nothing? It's something worth investigating.
(Chance: -88/-139/-219% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 19
Reward: Advanced Combat Drugs, Unlocks Round 4)
[ ] Pain-B-Gone Part 2 - (Advanced Medicine/Chemicals)
The creation of Medi-Aid Chemicals is an excellent step in the right direction, yet one that requires close oversight and studious application without deviation from standard patterns and with severe costs if the solutions are improperly or falsely applied. Studying how and why such things happen and how to reduce the failure states will take a lot of time but should yield enough data to create a follow-up project to eliminate flaws and improve the product further.
(Chance: -13/-50/-104% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 17
Reward: Pain-B-Gone Part 3)
Among our recent finds are several bandages with different properties ranging from self-disinfection to self-applying sutures. We are still determining how many aspects can be replicated, but achieving one would be much better than what we currently have.

[ ] Medication For Psychological Problems - (Pioneer Psychology/Chemicals/Medicine)
The human mind is a complex labyrinth of contradictions, disorders, compulsions, needs, requirements, and desires, all pulling and shoving in different directions, always on the edge of breaking apart. One of the ways such things happen is due to chemical imbalances in the brain, causing misfires and shifts within the neurons, like a faulty computer glitching out due to a bug. Several recipes and mentionings of further have been found in an ancient book, allowing you to progress towards re-creating those medications. Or your versions of them.

[ ] To Feed a Person (All Biology/Medicine)
It is common knowledge that a balanced diet will improve health, but why though? What is it in the food that promotes health? Why is it that lacking certain foods makes you sick? These questions need answers, for it is clear that just putting food in people's bellies is a short-term solution. We must thoroughly understand what it takes to feed a person.
(Chance: 66/55/44% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 3
Rewards: A better understanding of nutrition is spread. Pilgrims can better detect and treat deficiency diseases. Bonus to all Pilgrim facilities that involve feeding people.)
[ ] Fertile Fields
A few learned people say that using certain soils, chemicals, and other things can help improve soil quality, giving more nutrients to the plants that grow on it, thus giving us more food. Unfortunately, while some Regions use the most basic techniques, most have lost their institutional knowledge due to the ever-growing reliance on sandwheat. So, an excellent first step would be to search for mentionings of those techniques and compare what they say. After that, experimentation is in order.
(Chance: 81/56/28% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 20
Reward: Improved yields of all fields.)

[ ] Illness Of The Mind - (Advanced Psychology)
The human mind is a complex labyrinth of contradictions, disorders, compulsions, needs, requirements, and desires, all pulling and shoving in different directions, always on the edge of breaking apart. Having collated a rudimentary overview of what is known, you realize that what is unknown far outweighs anything discovered or re-discovered by your efforts. Looking deeper into the mystery of the human brain will require extensive research and preparations, but this will be worth it for every life saved.

[ ] The Mind - The Black Pit - (Advanced Psychology)
It is... difficult to understand the workings of the human mind, as many of those you interviewed and treated tried to explain how they felt, thought, and what happened in their lives, with you not understanding or coming closer to identifying anything but parts of what could be happening within them. Yet, there are common themes among them:
-The growing ideation of death.
-Their belief in their worthlessness.
-And many other things, we do not have a significant enough pool to say if the Black Pit causes them.
(Chance: -23/-54/-97% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 18
Reward: Deeper Understanding of the Human Psyche, allowing you to help more people.)
[ ] Shields of the Mind - (Advanced Medicine/Biology/Chemicals)
When minds fall to doubt, sorrow, anger, and more, chemical alterations in their brain are to blame for many of their afflictions, as we now know. By forcefully altering that upset balance to a semblance of what it once was, we can give those afflicted with mental anguish a glimmer of hope and some semblance of an ordinary, healthy life. Even a minute of blessed cognition and clarity is worth years of research.

[ ] Secret Of The Circuit Pt.4 - (Pioneer Electronics)
With your manufacture of electronic components as cheap and streamlined as you can make them without producing them in a factory, it is time to start the heavy-hitter research: producing electronics as near to that of the Ancients as you can manage. Of course, they may be nothing more than showpieces for this effort, but knowing the route is all you'll need to find better and cheaper paths to attain electronics of the forgotten ages.
(Chance: -81/-247/-413% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 80

[ ] Automation - (Pioneer Programming)
Automation is a broad term that can cover many areas of technology where human input is minimized. For example, one can use it to describe the highly sophisticated robotics used by the Forge-Clans in their steel mill and heavy-duty industries or the various simple but effective machines installed in the widespread manufactories within the Empire. Wherever a machine can do the job instead of a person, automation offers many enticing and dangerous possibilities. However, even the most ardent advocate for the idea has to recognize that, without considering how to implement such programs, they remain useless or detrimental due to the high costs such things often incur.

[ ] Crystal-Garden Expedition
Gathering Suspendium for anything other than the quota will require you to set up specific expeditions to either use it to feed your research or airship production or gather a buffer of Suspendium should you be cut off for one reason or another. Thanks to your research, you managed to create better Suspendium harvesting methods!
(Chance: 40%
Reward: 3 Large Suspendium Shards.
Warning: If this Action fails, 3d30 Pilgrims will die. Boni, Traits, and Tenets apply.)
-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)
(+1 to roll = 4.00 Goodwill)
-[] Send It To The Flying Islands
Patching the flaking off patches of Suspendium up would allow Vanar-Feer to devise a more permanent solution to keeping the islands floating or descent at a place of our choosing.
(+25 to the Chance of Success.)
[ ] Send Out The Scavengers (Choose A Location)
Sometimes, it is not worth sending an expedition to a location due to its low yield or quality.
(Chance: 85%
Reward: 1 turn in the specified location.
Warning! If the Action fails, there is a 4% chance that 1d6 Pilgrims will die due to being detected and subsequently attacked.
[ ] The Smokestack's Bowels
Deep within the massive belly of the Smokestack, an ancient factory still churning out and recycling vast amounts of goods lies, forgotten and discarded, information, technical blueprints, and all manner of things that are worth more than a dozen times their weight in pure Jewel. The sheer amount of technologies that could be recovered if one could go past the Machines here...
(Chance: -376%
Turns: 9
Reward: The Smokestack's Bowels are mapped.
Notice: Rolled each turn.
Warning! If the Action fails, the Scouting Unit will die.)
[ ] Search For Shelter Lost
The Stranger said things; he gave assurances and evidence and was taken away to prevent what was told from spreading beyond. Yet... the call of forgotten wonders is mightier than reason. Set out to re-discover what has been buried for so long and see what remains. Your dreams now know the path...
(Chance: 45%
Reward: Find the Shelter of the Ancients.)
[ ] Scout The Eternal Gazers
The earthquake that had hit Tessen spooked the Forest of Rust's Animals, Mutants, and Machines, throwing everything into chaos. A golden opportunity for you to go to several places nobody could loot! This area is infamous for the massive number of high-tech equipment, even for Pre-Collapse standards, as scientists studied the stars here.
(Chance: 33%
Reward: Sites in The Eternal Gazers are located and mapped.
Warning! If the Action fails, there is a 7% Chance that the Scouting Unit will take 2d6 casualties due to being detected and subsequently attacked)
[ ] Scout The Pit
You are still determining what you'll find here, only sure you are the first to look for artifacts. But your scouts have reported feeling like they are being watched...
(Chance: -49%
Reward: Sites in The Pit are located and mapped.
Warning! If the Action fails, the Scouting Unit will die.)
[ ] Scout The Bonetunnels
PD informed you of a series of tunnels that run deep beneath the surface, filled with dead beings' bones and corpses. Animals, Mutants, and even Machines descend into their depths to die, leaving behind mountains of bones. What could be found here?
(Chance: 34%
Turns: 2
Reward: Sites in The Bonetunnels are located and mapped.
Warning! If the Action fails, there is a 15% Chance that the Scouting Unit will die from being detected and subsequently attacked.)
[ ] Scout The Tenebris Library
PD informed you of the location of an ancient library called the Tenebris by the RI. It is wholly encapsulated, and no window or light fixture illuminates the inside. Why would you build a library without lights?
(Chance: 65%
Turns: 3
Reward: Sites in the Tenebris Library are located and mapped.
Warning! If the Action fails, there is a 68% Chance that the Scouting Unit will die from being detected and subsequently attacked.)
[ ] Scout The Verdant Oasis
The earthquake that had hit Tessen spooked the Forest of Rust's Animals, Mutants, and Machines, throwing everything into chaos. A golden opportunity for you to go to several places nobody could loot! The Verdant Oasis consists of a hydroponics factory that collapsed due to the Collapse but somehow remained functioning. The Oasis provides abundant plant life, and the resulting draw on herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores from all corners of the animal kingdom. It also offers a prime opportunity for pristine agricultural secrets from forgotten ruins.
(Chance: 14%
Reward: Sites in The Verdant Oasis are located and mapped.
Warning! If the Action fails, there is a 57% Chance that the Scouting Unit will die.)
[ ] Search for the Zone
Your efforts to learn more about the Region have yielded an unusual fruit, knowing that your Knight was most likely part of the Revival Initiative. This polity operated deep inside the Forest, scavenging for artifacts like you, but they took it a step further. They built a small town in the Necropolis. Foolish, yet finding it could unearth treasures beyond imagination or prove a giant disappointment. PD's maps are heavily corrupted, but she has provided some landmarks that may still exist.
(Chance: 14%
Turns: 4
Reward: The Zone can be scavenged.)
Sometimes, you must dig into one location for months to fully exploit it.
(Can only be used on locations already scouted out. For every Turn you spend on this Action, an expedition spends 2(two) at the chosen target. Once the expedition has left, it no longer requires one Action.)

Tree of Knowledge: Home of the Pilgrims, Bastion of what they stand for, a symbol of hope for the desperate. (Choose 2 Actions)
[ ] The Matter of the Emitter - (Image)
You have been gifted a Zero-Point Energy Hologram Emitter...a mouthful to say and more than a little hassle to move too. Still, having one of these (relatively rare) emitters allows you to display life-like images with little prompting and adjustments for however long you wish to. Which could be useful, depending on what is displayed.
(Turns: 1
Reward: Variable.)
[ ] Berth - Medium
Expanding the Anchorage to fit Twelve Light or Three Medium vessels comfortably would allow us to equip and use them for exploration, start trading, and send expeditions on far-ranging missions.
(Turns: 7
Reward: Without special projects, you can modify Twelve Light or Three Medium Airships for exploration or trading. Will generate Prosperity once airships become more widespread, which rises with their availability, and can be upgraded into Berth - Large)
[ ] Laboratory Complex - Rudimentary
Some call the plans of expansion ambitious, while others call them ridiculous. Whatever the case, digging deeper and farther than ever will allow the Pilgrims to stuff so many scientists and equipment into the Tree that they will significantly accelerate future research. Bolt has already hinted at discounts if we buy computers and laboratory equipment in bulk from her Clan. Unfortunately, keeping everything in order without calling for Forge-Clan help requires specialists.
(Cost: 6 General Scientists, 2 Common Engineers
Turns: 14
Reward: Massively improved success chances)
[ ] Medical Wing - Grand
Expanding your Medical facilities will someday be required, but it would be massive overkill for now. Still, it never hurts to have the option in your mind.
(Turns: 5
Reward: Plagues roll with a massive mali to infect the Pilgrims, supports up to 10000 Pilgrims/People before it becomes useless.)
[ ] Masters' Retreat - Grandiose
You have managed to lure in specialists and experts of various fields with pay and recognition, exciting work, steady employment among friendly people, and the chance to have their creations recognized by thousands. Now, you'll embark on the next step: getting True Masters to settle into the Tree of Knowledge.
(Turns: 7
Reward: Lowered costs for all equipment, increased chances for all research, can be upgraded.)
[ ] Black Box - (Expanded)
There can never be such a thing as too much information gleaned from studying. Therefore, ensure that your Black Box is expanded and equipped with more tools to study Artifacts better.
(Cost: 2 Scientists, 1 Engineer
Turns: 6
Reward: 10% not to use up an Artifact, can slot 1(one) Artifact to provide 15% (rounded down) of the Artifact bonus continuously.)
[ ] Library - (Expanded)
A library is a reservoir of knowledge and provides entertainment and education while acting as a community center. Expand the available space to fit four additional floors of equal area, with more books and secluded study rooms for those wishing to research in peace. You also need dedicated librarians and helpers to ensure that people can find what they need and then return it to where they found their books. A section for cartography would also be an excellent addition!
(Turns: 13
Reward: Provides 3 (three) slots for Literature Artifacts, providing a 15% Boost to their bonus.)
[ ] Assemble An Engine - (Location)
Now that you have developed a Steam Engine, you should see building them for your mines or farms. Whatever you think is more pressing or profitable.
(Turns: 2
Reward: Prosperity and increased Technological Proliferation.)
[ ] Armor The Daughter - (Armor Points)
Alright, you have a giant airship; it represents the biggest and most obvious target in any hostile area, and there are currently gaps in her armor. You need to either fix that ASAP, hope that nobody will attack the Empire in the next three decades, or be attacked by you. Let's fix her as we live in reality; why don't we?
(Reward: X Conventional Armor added, decreased chances that the Daughter is destroyed, which would be dangerous.)
[ ] Pilgrim Radio
Let long-forgotten power thrum through reactivated machinery, let ancient airwaves long lain dormant once more sing with the voices of our people, and let there be one more monument to human ingenuity and progress reclaimed among the Wastes. Let song take through electronic air and humm victory over nature once more.

Holdings: Norqod developed into a small town over the short time you founded it, with thousands now calling it home with glee and relief. Come what may, these people have had a better life thanks to your actions. (Choose 3 Actions)

(Turns: 1
Reward: Variable.)
[ ] Airship Trade Anchor And Depot
With the advent of the nascent Airships, creating the needed infrastructure to harbor, supply, repair, upgrade, modify, and unload trade goods or passengers will prove prudent and vital. While other places may take that particular place in the sun, staking our claim early will enable us to dominate the whole.
(Turns: 5
Reward: Norqod gains a Commerce District, allowing for the creation of storage hubs, trade lanes, merchant quarters, banks, skewed deals, and much more, only limited by our imagination. Money is in the air, boys, girls, and others! We only need to grasp it with our hands!)
-[ ] Hire Contractors - (Can be taken multiple times)
Hire experienced contractors to complete this project in a much shorter timeframe.
(Reward: +1 Turn of Progress)
[ ] House Dall Barracks
As a Prevter house, house Dall will be required to outfit both troops in defense of the Empire and secure the resources for which they have been installed. Creating barracks for foot soldiers is the first step, allowing the nascent House Dall Retinue to discover promising recruits and commanders from the local populace. Which, by necessity, includes Mutated, requiring more Materials to accommodate the same's different physiology and dietary requirements.
(Turns: 7
Reward: Norqod gains a Military District, allowing the recruitment of more sophisticated and specialized troops, expands the defensive and offensive capabilities of House Dall, and opens the path for a potential Knight Retinue. This path can generate safe routes into the Forest Of Rust, allowing Suspendium harvesting operations and the search for Artifacts to be expanded considerably.)

Which could be useful, depending on what is displayed.
(Turns: 1
Reward: Variable.)
[ ] Airship Trade Anchor And Depot
With the advent of the nascent Airships, creating the needed infrastructure to harbor, supply, repair, upgrade, modify, and unload trade goods or passengers will prove prudent and vital. While other places may take that particular place in the sun, staking our claim early will enable us to dominate the whole.
(Turns: 5
Reward: Norqod gains a Commerce District, allowing for the creation of storage hubs, trade lanes, merchant quarters, banks, skewed deals, and much more, only limited by our imagination. Money is in the air, boys, girls, and others! We only need to grasp it with our hands!)

[ ] House Dall Barracks
As a Prevter house, house Dall will be required to outfit both troops in defense of the Empire and secure the resources for which they have been installed. Creating barracks for foot soldiers is the first step, allowing the nascent House Dall Retinue to discover promising recruits and commanders from the local populace. Which, by necessity, includes Mutated, requiring more Materials to accommodate the same's different physiology and dietary requirements.
(Turns: 7
Reward: Norqod gains a Military District, allowing the recruitment of more sophisticated and specialized troops, expands the defensive and offensive capabilities of House Dall, and opens the path for a potential Knight Retinue. This path can generate safe routes into the Forest Of Rust, allowing Suspendium harvesting operations and the search for Artifacts to be expanded considerably.)

[ ] Expanded Hospital
Commissioning several medicinal machines from the Forge-Clans will increase the survival chance of people undergoing surgery, needing oxygen, blood, or other fluids/gasses to be kept healthy and detect and treat injuries. Additionally to these (rather expensive) purchases, a general increase in capacity and staff will allow up to 300 people to be treated under normal strain, with a total maximum of nearly 1,000.
(Turns: 9
Reward: Norqod is more resistant to plague and gains more self-sufficiency. Also, you help more people at once, as they don't have to walk to the Tree's medical wing to get proper treatment.)

[ ] Expanded Clinics
With the minimum level of medical care distributed across Norqod, we can work on expanding the various clinics in both the scale and quality of their operation. With more space and personnel, alongside an increased pool of multiple chemicals, herbs, remedies, and on-demand vaccines, we can grow them into local focus points for fights against diseases and holding stations for more severe injuries and illnesses until space has been freed in dedicated institutions.
(Turns: 7

Treating wounds is a fundamental skill most people have, but things like surgery, identifying diseases, warding against plague, comforting patients, and more are not. By building a medical school, Norqod can train specialists and generalists in-house, though we either need to provide the expertise ourselves or buy it at a considerable expense.
(Turns: 11
Cost: 6 General Doctors/Upkeep: 2.75 Goodwill
Reward: More medical practitioners equals fewer dead people.)

[ ] Large Quarantine Area
Plague is a constant across much of Calynth, with few ever having known a year where some disease didn't kill thousands in some Region or country. To prevent the spread of such plagues, the Imperial Family has long since ordered dozens of precautions whenever a suspected "hotspot" of disease is found. One of the most effective precautions is the quarantine of suspected carriers and those they had contact with away from the settlements. (And situated in plain view of a fortification.) Expanding your area to include safe places for caretakers to rest, relax between shifts, and get themselves checked via blood testing and breath analyzers bought from Forge-Clans should up your security by a few notches.
(Turns: 9
Reward: Norqod is further resistant to plague.)

[ ] An Invitation By House Ulatarn
House Ulatarn has invited House Dall to discuss potential trade and future opportunities, speaking in their letter about the natural advantages that cooperation between the two Houses will infer for the Empire. Still, Selene finds this...iffy, in the legal sense, as Prevter Houses aren't supposed to engage in politics like this. However, if House Ulatarn is genuinely approaching this from a commercial viewpoint and direction, it won't be in a legal grey zone...but only barely. Still, it's best to hear them out rather than snub them, yes?
(Turns: 1
Expires in: 2 Turns
Reward: Opportunities for House Dall.
Failure: Snubbed House Ulatarn.)
[ ] Organized Airship Manufactory - 1 Line - (Design)

(Turns: 5

Reward: Organized Airship Manufactory, allowing you to build and sell Airships to your specifications. House Dall gets rich.)

Prestige is almost as vital as wealth in the plays and schemes among the nobility. By planting public and private gardens, House Dall can display its splendor, wealth, and patronage of the arts without running afoul of any toes, as most people see gardens as something all should enjoy.
(Turns: 4
Reward: Gardens will bring more prestige to House Dall.)

I don't see the corresponding get in the Artifacts tab.
You left out the Piety reduction mod from the brand new chapter.
Right, ladies, gentlemen, and others, we must prioritize using these over Rare Artifacts as much as possible!
Should be 9x because we got 2 more from doubled production seed.
Looks like we passed a threshold. Hopefully applying her to We Are One People will provide another substantial boost. Especially since we'll be able to complete it this turn with all the combined bonuses.
Good luck with that.
I'm with him. Boo!

More error-checking:
I think this should be underlined, like the other Tenet headings.
I think you put a plus sign where there should be a minus.
Need to update to reflect that we have 2 Caravaner Lines, and no First Son Line now.
Missing the new Orphanage.
I think we should build territorial hospitals or maybe local bases.
Weren't we going to do To Feed a Man?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
I was considering the Territorial Hospices, but wasn't entirely sure. That said, since it looks like Lady Aiker is turning to damage control, it might be fine to move onto those then.
It was high on my list but I haven't yet locked it in. Just wanted to see if anyone else had alternatives they wanted to suggest.
Well, that is an immediate effect of having a Mutated as Adjudicator. I'm surprised we don't get extra recruitment from the Mutated though.
Right, a huge bonus to rolls if it's Martyris's Action slot, and an extra Action.
*Happy Forge-Clan Data-Smith Noises*=dial up modems
Formation error.
Huh, is that a change to how things went previously? Did we only get volunteers but no priests before this whole mess?
We might want to look into military options if even Barons hire Adventurers...
I'm tempted to throw something at the Progressivists. A Faith Action for the Healers and an Artefact for the Progressivists, maybe?
Hmm, that's something more serious. Spillover to the Mutated is... Well, our Diplomacy Action should help here.
For Artefacts, we have this. ... That sounds incredibly creepy.
I think we might want to throw another Martial Action at them while they are still around. Mortars probably and maybe some drones too.
One more Turn and we have the 10 Caravaners we need for an expedition. I wonder if that will be a dedicated Action or just a version of the donations.
Neat. Putting her on the Diplomacy Action should boost this further.
Yeah, insulting another Noble House by proxy, implying the local state religion is incompetent, and accusing the local bureaucracy of corruption doesn't make you any friends. Who could have possibly seen that coming?
You know, she's lucky her son seems to tend towards the philosophy of the Pilgrims. A normal, "ambitious" noble might have used this situation to throw her to the wolves to protect their Noble House while also taking over.
And so, in the far future, the Mile High Club will be revived.
Surprisingly primitive machines given how some of the other techs look like. Or might be that labor is cheaper than more advanced machines.
...Note to self; get started on the Military District. We really can't have Mutants sneaking in.
As for new projects:
Is the -125 on top of the 1% chance? Due to rumors, I presume? And how much would this project cover?
Hmm, could use that either for the Tree or the town. The Tree would probably use it for organizational stuff and maybe some research.
Norqod could use it in a variety of ways. Setting up a show for visiting Nobles, festivals(there are some neat Final Fantasy cutscenes, especially 13, about stuff like this), and announcements.
We did some political horstrading with them. And we already have their kid as Martyris's Protegé.
I'm tempted to build some asylums, given we got OOC information about their effects. Doing charity to build up Goodwill for another Cleaning would be nice too, though.
Get some Dossiers? There are a bunch of interesting locations or we could get some history about organizations.
I don't think this would be the best choice. We have the Sunken Guard only around for this Turn, so boosting them further is a time-limited option.
I'm really tempted to get started on 'Shields of the Mind' due to that mainly taking our Doctors. The Piety boost is also nice, given we will lose a bunch from the Chapter founding. The Piety from this and 'We Are One People!' might even get us reasonably close to 100% again.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
The key here is we don't have to agree, just hear them out for the sake of politeness.
More charity sounds good to me. I'd wait until we have Improved/Expanded Asylums unlocked before we go further with those.
Sure. Ideas?
So, you want to focus on upgrading their equipment, or giving them more abilities?
Given how big the Cool Tempers roll was, even the Chapter penalty didn't stop us from reaching 100%. And unless we start throwing out a bunch more expansions, it's going to stay there for a long time.

Two thirds of those three people are Mutated. So...

No, you did get priests when cooperating with them, but this refers to individual priests working on their initiative against the rumors about you.karmaoa said:
An automatic unlock of an Action that requires 10 airships to be taken.karmaoa said:
The baseline of technology on Calynth is 14/15th century (fall of the Byzantine Empire), with the scale going up from there into clark tech. So for most of the planet, schizo tech is the name of the game, with the complexity of machinery directly correlating to its rarity. You just got accustomed to seeing the higher end of the "commonly" seen technologies due to being around the factions that can produce/maintain those technologies or machinery.karmaoa said:
That weaving machine is basically advanced technology for most people. For you? Kinda hard to be impressed by something when you can talk to a machine that can obliterate a (admitedly large) hill on the regular.
Yes, and enough to cover the Region in a bare-bones fashion. Follow-up projects will be unlocked once completed.karmaoa said:
We got to stop that noble from slandering us and then target her so she can be ousted and humiliated
My only suggestion is to actually swap one of the Holding actions for the cannery. We suspect that some sort of military brouhaha is coming, and few things endear you more to the army than being able to say 'I brought the food'.

@HeroCooky when you say Industry is N/A for a region, does that mean they don't export anything worth noticing or that there is barely industry whatsoever?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Some more math discrepancies:
The total is 3,354.
Given the above it should be +66 right now. And thus the net Rolls should be -25.
History of the Adventurer Guild, I have no idea how the Nobles let that happen. I would expect something like knight orders under the control of the bigger Noble Houses.
The history of some regions or ruins? The Buried City is near our two Chapters. Or maybe something about the Imperial Bridges project? Hmm, something about the wastes and tribals could also be interesting.
Equipment would mainly be mortars and Scutters/spiders. They really could use an option to soften up enemies before they engage... But Overstrength would allow them to eat more casualties while staying in combat.
Ouch, that -125 is harsh.

The first, though with a good dose of "well, I didn't hear anything about their industry worth talking about, did you?" The Empire is a big place, some Regions shown only give you what most people "know" about them until you take some time to poke at 'em.
Hmm, then could we do an action to examine to the swamp's flora and fauna for pontential commercial uses?
Because with how this world is, we could find anything from a tree that produces bioplastics to a simple pretty wood that would make for good furniture. And if nothing works we could pulp anything with cellulose and make paper and cardboard.

Yeah, just add a [] Examine [Region]'s [Feature] for any potential uses.
That's a Learning action, right?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Pretty sure that would be an action for the Sunken Hollows Chapter, not us.
