Rumors:​

The Rampaging Mutants Are Being Pushed Back - The Tessen Speaker
The Mutants that have managed to elude the righteous fist of the Empire in their brutal rampage across the outlying settlements have finally been met with the spears and axes of the Guards and Soldiers defending the homes of the citizens of the Empire. The lances and crossbows of the Knights charge right behind these valiant men and women, poised to take the heavy lifting of exterminating these pests now that they have been located and pinned down. No longer shall they elude our most potent defenders, and the reckoning shall be all the more ferocious thanks to the lives and livelihoods lost to these mindless abominations plaguing civilization.

The Sold Sword Reaps A Heavy Bounty This Season - The Truthful Observers
House Ulatarn has never been a House accused of being stingy with their purses, but the current season could prove to be one that shall bring more than an excellent payout to those willing to sell life and arms for violence and coin in service to the House. Charged with the complete extermination of all Mutants that managed to slip the net or have hid their hideous selves in the Region, the House has let loose with a flood of proclamations and open bounties posted in the Adventurer's Guild. Good coin is being offered for every Mutant corpse verified by the local authorities or a Guild official charged with overseeing the hunt for these pests. There shall be no mercy for those who hunt and devour Empire citizens and no end to the rewards given to those willing to take up arms against the very same!

Hello, this is Akane.

Nine Titans have awoken and are marching against cities and each other alike. We will see if we survive the next month and send more information when we do. If we do.

With (quite possibly final) farewells,
Akane.

Spy-Network:​

The Marquess of Tessen is busy sending Guards and materials to support the reclamation of several villages destroyed by groups of Mutants.

House Ulatarn has been tasked with the complete extermination of the Mutant groups that have terrorized various outlying towns and villages.

House Mirn has been tasked with aiding the House of Tessen in rebuilding the settlements impacted by the Mutants.

The Military is reshuffling some patrol routes in reaction to the realization that multiple information holes exist within their security shield of the outlying settlements.

The Bureau For Imperial Civilian Logistics has begun a feasibility study on the construction of native airships of 150.000 tons in weight.

The Followers of Light are focusing on aiding those refugees and survivors impacted by the attack of the Mutants.

The Adventurer Guild has been primarily hired to focus on Region-wide extermination of known or suspected locations where Mutants have made nests or put down roots.

Dirty Daggers are doing the usual, meaning crime and even more crime.

The Family is doing things. But we are confident that we are being fed false information.
[Information Network - Extremely Suspect]

The Common People are calming down from the bout of paranoia and anxiety that seemed to be Region-wide. An odd sense of calm has settled in everyone as if some disaster has finally moved on to haunt others.

The Mutated are relieved that the heightened aggression against them has stopped.

-[] [4S] In The Name Of Education - (Shields of the Mind) [-3.5 Goodwill]

Thanks to the influx of Scientists and Engineers, and having a turn with all them, we'll be able to complete all the Learning projects this turn with ease. Looking forward to putting our horde of Caretaker Swarms to work speeding up our building!

-[L] [Archeology] Prepare an Expedition - (SST-03) - (2 Turns Prep = 3 Turns Exp) - (House Mirn support: Y) - (1/2 Turns Complete)

-[L] [Archeology] Scout The Tenebris Library (Rust Scouts) - (1/3 Turns Complete)
--[] (3[ENG] +42) = +42

-[] [Aria] Lead by Example (Scout the Pit)

Given our influx of Engineers, this is our best opportunity to get that very high difficulty project out of the way. Meanwhile, we continue plugging away at the Library.

 

[karmaoa]

Ugh, so I finally have time to catch up. Looks like things exploded, but not quite to a catastrophic extent yet.

It just feels wrong to not do anything when we have a super gun available.

We're probably better off sending them a disaster relief expedition with the DoD. By the time we arrive, any Titan left probably either wandered away or settled somewhere, where it had already destroyed anything nearby.

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. AI research is massively more manageable. +1 relationship to all Forge-Clans. Piety loss now 1 per 100 Followers.)

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.
Piety loss now 1 per 50 Followers.)

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.
(+50 to All Mechanics)

Banner of Lumination - (Equip to Hero)
(Auxiliary Knight Equipment) (+/-4 to/against Morale Rolls to all friendly/enemy Units if engaged with Eversun Units.)

2x Phoenix Suits
Heavy Mechanized Armor - +50 to Pioneer Armor/Hydraulics/Chemicals/Metallurgy - (18/18 Armor for 1/1 Unit, -20 Thermal Damage)

2x Enlighteners
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.
Ein Schritt weiter. Besser als keiner. Aber schlechter als zwei. Deswegen arbeiten die auch gerade daran.

Heroes

Martyris Dall

Prevter Martyris Dall, The One That Suffers, Leader of The Pilgrims, Soil of Hope, Seed of Change
Health: 17/19 (-2 permanent) (+1 Due to Auroran Cylinder) (+12 Due to Soil of Hope, Seed of Change)
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 (Prototype): Power Armor: +56 Armor, -50 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: 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.
-Generic Ranged Spider: An autonomous drone for military applications. Special Rule: Independent Units (Gains 3/3 Armor and 1/1 Internal Structure, has a Ranged attack of 1d2 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 - 13-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.

Protegé: Lord Markus Ulatarn - 14-Year-Old
A child of nobility, given to be raised and educated while laying the foundation of a relationship between 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. Likes Crinkle. Recently took up painting after watching the various artists in Norqod decorate and carve into the rock.
(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.
-Generic Ranged Spider: An autonomous drone for military applications. Special Rule: Independent Units (Gains 3/3 Armor and 1/1 Internal Structure, has a Ranged attack of 1d2 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 (21/25):
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.
(+38 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. It was worse than they had thought. So much worse. How can one tiny child scream so much?

Object of Veneration - Hazy - Guardian - (46/250)
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.
(+10 to all Diplomacy/Norqod Actions, Become More.)

The Alarfta-Seers are a prime example of what happens if you leave a group of Forge-Clan members alone with a new and exciting thing, be it an Artifact or newly discovered substance, for far too long without checking in on them while they are prodding said new thing. At best, you will return to see them all dead after suffering fates worse than death; at worst, they have gone native and started a new sect of the Great Gearmother.

The latter is generally considered a far worse outcome due to the titanic headaches such a move brings to everyone involved, as those who are starting said sect are usually unwilling to go back to their Clans and will resist doing so even with familial pressure and other means of pressure due to their newly assumed roles and duties. Alongside that, these new sects generally try and create a new Forge-Clan centered around their newly found obsession, resulting in a re-drawing of several dozen maps and shifting of power, a state of things generally seen as undesirable by the Forge-Clans, and very desirable by the Empire due to a weakening of their political power.

For the Alarfta-Seers, as their name suggests, their newly found focus is on the studies of Suspendium and its properties, with their earliest prototype being the levitating hololith cube used to present their findings. However, they are apparently working on several other things, like tools and an alloy to reduce gravity's impact upon a weapon. Regulating gravity within certain zones would be a miracle for many industrial processes, while simply allowing a Knight to wield a ten-ton hammer like it weighs nothing without sacrificing any integrity or mass is an obvious increase in their combat potency.

Beyond that, the Alarfta-Seers will be a massive help in any studies by the Pilgrims regarding Suspendium. They have already shared a lot of their initial findings on the underlying structures and theories they discovered, and those have made a dozen projects previously thought to be a matter of years into a sprint of seasons.

However, one should not underestimate the zeal those newly-established sects can display when they are kept, either by unfortunate circumstance or deliberate action, from their point of obsession, as they, as a general rule, are more than willing to use force in pursuit of their objectives. Though the Alarfta-Seers are benign for now, if we should decide to throw them out or deny them access to Suspendium bought commercially or via direct transfer, they may choose to obtain it via violent means after reaching their breaking point. Luckily, if history has shown us anything, that point will increase rapidly with the years and become non-existent once they have established their new Forge-Clan in full, should it come to that.

For the time being, we should either ruthlessly throw them out and prepare for them to get radical and violent or work with them for mutual benefit. The latter is far more preferable as they have already worked with us to secure the Flying Islands, shared their obtained theoretical and practical data freely, and will not get violent for a long time as we have more than enough Suspendium to placate their thirst for knowledge.

The Radiant Compiler sat on the table where it had sat for the last two months, utterly unbothered by the prods of code and flesh wrapped around bone and electric impulses it had to endure during that time. The inquisitiveness of humanity did not stop when something remained unbothered by its attempts to learn its secrets and, indeed, often led to them prodding said thing even harder. Yet, even with the most determined Artifact Prodders and Prodding Procedures in place, the Radiant Compiler of the Cyclic Sacrament remained unimpressed by the attempts and gave up none of its surely manifold secrets! Vexing.

"I am still thinking it's porn," Vishy said, eyes narrowed as she stared at the rows upon rows of dancing code slowly being worked through by the Core of the Daughter of Dawn. That the Artifact hadn't been cracked open like an egg introduced by gravity to stony ground a second after plugging it in had only made the mystery of the small forearm-sized Artifact grow that much more enticing.

"For the last time, Vishy, not every heavily encrypted data-storage device is for porn," a somewhat annoyed Sven replied, looking over the compiled information from a recently taken infra-red scan of the Artifact. Room-temperature. Perfectly so. Suspicious...

"What about D-46 from last month?" Came the reply, strained eyes still occasionally watching the utterly slow decryption progress bar race at the pace of water carving itself into stone while her hands copied and requested calculations from the Daughter on the last set of data they had clawed out of the Compiler.

"A catalog for plushies do not count as porn, no matter what you are trying to tell me," he retorted, glaring over the rims of his glasses as he returned to his task, his posture deliberately conveying an end to a conversation Vishy herself just no decided to pursue to alleviate her boredom.

Fortunately, for the sanity of both, the Daughter's Core chose that moment to ping the two of them with a status update: the code had been cracked.

"Finally!" Vishy triumphantly cried, pumping her fist in the air before rapidly inputting access codes to get a look at what had hidden for so long behind that annoyingly competent encryption. "Let's see, let's see..." she murmured, a now attentive and focused Sven hovering over her shoulder as he read the various lines appearing like lighting across the screen alongside her. "...I can't read that," Vishy said, staring at the foreign letters scrolling across the screen with no sense of their meaning for her.

"Si-Vanti Skript," Sven explained, a finger tracing across the top-most line as he haltingly translated. "Something about...hallucination? No, stimu-simulation! War or combat after that, with some mention of Walkers? Yes, but it's the focus," he mumbled, eyes scanning the lines again as he worked through the various lines one after the other, a frown appearing on his face. "Simulations, Combat Scenarios, Weaknesses of Walkers that have long since been killed? Useful," he said thoughtfully, "though not for us. We can't run those, and practical training is better than make-believe on a screen. No matter how realistic."

"Yeah, for us," Vishy said, eying the Compiler with a gleam in her eyes. "But for a Machine-Mind that lives in data as much as the physical? Where is the difference in that? And I think PD would love to get her hands on some good combat, simulated as it is, to alleviate some of her boredom."

A leviathan of chattering scales floats along the invisible sighs of ancient boughs and yearning winds of forgotten gods playing across the leaves that told of past and lost days.

On the back of the massive being floating, unearthed and untethered by any chain and rope, on that back long and muscular from icy winds and scouring lights, a thousand thousand limbs lay sleeping and resting, twitching merely at the passing of dreams undreamt and nightmares to come, fingers of sinew and electric impulses flowed like a cape across the leviathan's back, the smallest longer than a tree, the longest reaching farther than a nation.

At the end, where a tail lazily sewed a world together that the front had parted, giggling whispers spoke of ambitions fulfilled in ways terrible to behold and desires dashed in ways far more beautiful than they could have been if fulfilled.

On the belly of the beast, stars shimmered. Blinking illuminations of galaxies unknown and realities long lost, a story behind each, though few were worth knowing beyond the words used to tell their tale.

And at the front, the visage of a crone, old and withered by sun and work, slept in miniature compared to her body, yet titanic were a human to behold her all the same, each crease and every scar valleys and wounded mountains of elder flesh wrought in wisdom, patience, and joy.

A breath was taken, and the leviathan stirred, her eyes opening slightly as her body moved instinctively out of the way from a tree that had not been here the last time she had wandered in her endless voyage to these lands. Her mind looked with curiosity at the curious little thing stretching into a sky it could not see, eyes opening fully as she did.

A trunk of stone, colored by ages of geological activity and modified by burrows and tunnels wrought by metal and flesh, roots drinking deep from once-lost knowledge as it ambled here and there, steps lumbering yet shy, the steps of something taken after birth and after purpose had been found but not grasped, and a crown of leaves writing stories eternal across their brethren dripping in the ink of life. Her head shifted, and she looked at the roots stretching further away, dancing between rocks and caverns, spreading across a hundred knots and a hundred weeping wounds healed by sap and compassion. And ending in five brambles of root and thorn, guarding and shielding that which lay within, the whimpers of hurt minds like a siren's song for the leviathan as she began to drift over them, hands falling over her back to touch and pry, seek and feel.

Visions filled the ancient stars shining within her belly, sights of things good and touch of things wrong, a hand of metal given because it could be given to one in need, and a hand of flesh taken because it took what it should not, each part of the same dream of monsters hunting the hungering and the starving seeking to eat what little could be had.

Recognition dawned in kindly eyes, and tears began to well silently as one story was understood and innocence mourned before joy sang in star-lit eons for acts believed to be nothing more than the bare minimum by those who yet wander.

Ancient eyes opened in a sad smile, reedy hands with whispy fingers stretched, and the minds of hundreds were touched within the brambles, sheltering those needing shelter the most. A mouth opened, and words began to be spilled within the Black Forest.

Goodness deserves Goodness,
And Love deserves Love.
This I know to be fact.
You exist to love and be loved.
Never to suffer.
Never to fear.
This I know to be truth.​

And below that ancient leviathan, hundreds of orphans fell into a dreamless sleep that healed wounds long forgotten and faded scars angry and still hurting.

A gift.
From a grandmother without children.
To children without a grandmother.​

[ ] 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.

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.

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.

[ ] 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.)

[ ] 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.

[ ] Improve An Orphanage - (Location)
Much time has passed since you laid the first stone and struck the first wall of rock within a city to carve out and build a shelter for all those souls who have lost nearly or completely all that they once had, from mere material possessions to the much more important family ties and blood. Yet, though these halls which were once cold waiting stone now ring with the laughter and screams of children given a future, and those orphans without anything can quickly find a place here to grow into their own personage, the Path is still a long one for these structures. We gave these children a home and a chance at a future. Now it is time that we turn that chance into a certainty.
(Turns: 5
Reward: -2 to Piety rolls, +1 Follower per Turn.)

[ ] 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.

[X] Build A Humane Rudimentary Asylum - (Jokvi) - (1/2 Turns Complete)
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 to care 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.

-[ ] Expand One Instead - (Location)
(Turns: 1
Cost: 7.00 Goodwill
Reward: Expanded Humane Primitive Asylum, +0.20 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.)

Spoiler: Goodwill Missions

[ ] 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
Turns: 1
Chance: 75%
Reward: PR)

[ ] Hey, Why Don't We... (Write-In)
(What do you want to accomplish, and how do you do it?)

Diplomacy: The art of speaking many words that mean nothing should not be underestimated. At the wrong time, a report in the right ear has toppled many nations. (Choose 1 Action, 1 Action Locked)

Spoiler: Diplomacy Actions

[ ] We Are One People! - (Elites/Locals)
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%/-150% for Elites/Locals (rolled each turn.)
Successes Needed: 6/12
Reward: +1 Relationship for the Mutated with the chosen faction, +20% Piety, 4d20 Recruits, +2d12 Goodwill)

[X] School The Diplomat-Corp - (Specialized) - (The Merchant Guild) - (1/2 Turns Complete)
Your Training for the diplomats is as comprehensive as possible to create for the foreseeable future. However, you need institutional knowledge or an in-depth look into one faction to help you more.
(Turns: 2

Reward: +15 to all rolls involving said faction.)

[ ] Create A Dossier On (Groups/Topics (Max 3))
Collate all known information, history, and rumors about a group or topic of interest to ensure the Pilgrims' future actions are as well-informed as possible.

[ ] Shouldn't We... (Write-In)
(What do you want to accomplish, and how do you do it?)

Subversion: Sometimes, you must convince people they need help with means other than an open hand and a friendly face. A dagger to the back of those who chain them would be a good start. (Choose 1 Action)

Spoiler: Subversion Actions

[ ] Home of Night
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: 31 Goodwill, Upkeep: 7.5 Goodwill
Turns: 7
Reward: Home of Night allows you to train specialized Subversion Agents and unlocks Destabilization Actions.)

[ ] A Path Of Shadows
Training can only bring one so far, and tools will only pave over so many cracks and failures in learning and ability. It is time that those willing to hide in the shadows of the world for the benefit of the Pilgrims learn the difference between on seeking to adapt to the blind seeking their traces, and those seeing that perceive their wanderings.
(Cost: 25 Goodwill, Upkeep: 4 Goodwill
Turns: 7
Reward: Reduce the chance of your agents being caught and reduce the impact of failures by a considerable margin.)

[ ] Cover Of Mind
The mind of humankind is ever so fragile; even the slightest imbalance of its chemicals can lead to devastating changes in perception, memory, and motor function. A little nick here, a slight pierce there, some drops over yonder, and a minor waft of smoke...and bodies slump or minds see what is not there.
(Cost: 34 Goodwill, Upkeep: 11 Goodwill
Turns: 5
Reward: Improve all Assassination Actions, which allows you to send the same to other Chapters to help.)

[ ] Cover Of Body
No matter what one says to keep their subordinates in line, no matter the defenses of the building or the protocols that secure the darkest secrets, a pretty face and a sultry smile, a wicked grin and a scarred visage, a sneer and a bland countenance...they all can be wielded like surgical knives through any defense. Some do think with their second brain, and we can take advantage of that impulse...and find ways to shield ourselves.
(Cost: 4 Goodwill, Upkeep: 0.5 Goodwill
Turns: 8
Reward: Improve all Infiltration Actions and improve your defenses against infiltration.)

[ ] Cover Of Tongue
Talking fast, talking slow, sharp-tongued, or laden with silver, language is the foundation of all civilization that we know of and should be considered for not merely talking but laws and contracts alike, with agreements not being spared either. The spirit can be honored as much as the letter, but knowing how to twist either without the other noticing will have effects grand and tiny.
(Cost: 16 Goodwill, Upkeep: 3 Goodwill
Turns: 2
Reward: Improve all Diplomacy Actions.)

[ ] 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

[ ] Audit Everything
Yes, we did make an audit of all our networks and holdings...but what about a second one? You know, to ensure we got everyone that may try to fuck us over?

[ ] Train Your Infiltrators - (Greater)
To work within the shadows of society is more than melding into the masses; it means being able to sink below even the mud and muck of a city and emerge within gilded halls and palaces without arousing suspicion.
(Turns: 4

[ ] Infiltrate Part 1 - (Choose Three Factions)
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.

-[] Seek Mutated Help - (XXX Goodwill)

(Chance: 26/-52/-95 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 15
Reward: Massive leap in engine know-how and airship speed.)

[ ] 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.
(Chance: 99/75/53 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 7
Reward: Structural Integrity +1/2/3 for all modules in Light/Medium/Heavy Airships.)

[ ] 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)

[ ] 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.
(Chance: -03/-62/-196% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 11

Reward: Prototype Energy Weapon)

[ ] 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.

Reward: Static Mortar - Standardized, a powerful weapon with limited range yet good accuracy, deployed before the battle.)

[ ] BURN IN HOLY FIRE! - Part 1 - (Physics/All Chemicals/Advanced Weaponry)
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.

[ ] 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.

[ ] 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.

[ ] 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.

[ ] 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.

[ ] 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.

[ ] 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.

[ ] Radio-Chatterweb - (Electronics/Advanced Electronics/Programming/Machinery)
Having created the means by which we can now communicate over long distances with other Chapters and built radio towers tuned into our frequency, it is now time to start with the creation of a more advanced system of interlocking communication arrays that will automatically filter out the various "noises" coming from ruins, Machines, and Necropoli', while not losing any capability in the process. It is a long and challenging task, but one that will greatly benefit us in the long run.

You figured out a way to streamline the collection and dissemination of academic papers, vastly advancing your capabilities. But this is the hard part; your Theorists can still implement massive improvements in every aspect of your efforts. It will take a very long time to do so, though, and will likely not be a priority for the next decade or three.

[ ] Fashion Revival - (Repeatable)
While most Artefacts found in the ancient ruins are beyond anyone's ability to replicate, some are much easier. The Pilgrims need more knowledge to bring back the Ancients' technology; for now, that is not true for their fashion. Use the clothes in the old world's ruins and return to the past style!
(Needed Artifacts: Clothing Related (Fancy Dress, Lingerie), they won't be used up, merely copied.

[ ] 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 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 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.)

[X] Scout The Tenebris Library - (Rust Scouts) - (1/3 Turns Complete)
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.)

[ ] 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.)

Tree of Knowledge: Home of the Pilgrims, Bastion of what they stand for, a symbol of hope for the desperate. (2 Actions Locked)

Spoiler: Tree of Knowledge Actions

[X] Berth - Medium - (5/7 Turns Complete)
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.)

[X] Masters' Retreat - Grandiose - (6/7 Turns Complete)
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.

(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.

Spoiler: Holding Actions

[ ] 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.)

[ ] Expanded Hospital
Commissioning several medicinal machines from the Forge-Clans will increase the survival chance of people undergoing surgery who need 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.)
-[ ] Hire Contractors - (Can be taken multiple times)

[ ] Small Medicinal School - (Pilgrim Doctors/Herbalists)
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

[ ] 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.

With the miniaturization of the current version of the Vuur-Engine accomplished, the creation of vehicles that take advantage of its unique benefits to ordinary people should be considered. The construction of "Land Crawler," armored or large vehicles propelled by the Vuur-Engine, will be somewhat costly. Still, buyers will rest easy knowing that they can bring far more things onto their journeys, be they luxury trade goods, scientific or scholarly equipment, or weapons and armor for those adventurers with a heavy coin pouch.

[ ] Large Sturdy Clothing Manufactury
Everybody requires clothing to survive, be decent, and avoid injuries, be it from day-to-day injuries avoided due to cloth preventing scrapes or cuts on the skin or a shield against the heat and sand should a storm happen. Manufacturing clothes for those who work and live not in the safety of their manors has always been an excellent way to earn money.

[ ] Expanded Cannery
Putting things into containers isn't anything new to anyone, but doing so on an industrial scale has some difficulty due to the money and connections required to attain the machinery and knowledge to create something more than cans that hold rotting food and spoiled drinks, alongside the need to be able to open the cans at all. With the recent discoveries on how to make milk last longer, the construction of a cannery was raised to produce canned dairy, with the proposal widened to can fruits and other foods to boot.

Bees are about the size of an adult human's thumb and have the temperament of a wasp, with re-growable stingers. You do not want the things anywhere near your homes and much less harvest what they have without heavy full-body sealing armor. However, their honey is delicious.

[X] Enlarge The Public Libraries - (4/7 Turns Complete)
Libraries are public spaces that allow people within a community to learn, expand their horizons, meet peers and family during district events, relax, enjoy a good read in peaceful silence, and even request extra prints to be done should they wish to purchase a specific book. By expanding the libraries, we chip away at everything that plagues a community, from ignorance to loneliness, while also adding opportunities for people to educate themselves further.

"Si-Vanti Skript," Sven explained, a finger tracing across the top-most line as he haltingly translated. "Something about...hallucination? No, stimu-simulation! War or combat after that, with some mention of Walkers? Yes, but it's the focus," he mumbled, eyes scanning the lines again as he worked through the various lines one after the other, a frown appearing on his face. "Simulations, Combat Scenarios, Weaknesses of Walkers that have long since been killed? Useful," he said thoughtfully, "though not for us. We can't run those, and practical training is better than make-believe on a screen. No matter how realistic."

"Yeah, for us," Vishy said, eying the Compiler with a gleam in her eyes. "But for a Machine-Mind that lives in data as much as the physical? Where is the difference in that? And I think PD would love to get her hands on some good combat, simulated as it is, to alleviate some of her boredom."

So yeah, as we expected, but confirmation never hurts.

Ancient eyes opened in a sad smile, reedy hands with whispy fingers stretched, and the minds of hundreds were touched within the brambles, sheltering those needing shelter the most. A mouth opened, and words began to be spilled within the Black Forest.

Anyhoo, rough draft plan below. Throwing in the Consensual to round things out there, polishing off the Berth as well so that the Tree is fully ready for unleashed robotic building, everyone's seen my rationale for Learning and Archeology already, and trying to slow the decline in certain sectors of Norquod while we await again the ROBOTIC BUILDING SWARMS.

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.

Hmm, we are on the right path, at least.

The Alarfta-Seers are a prime example of what happens if you leave a group of Forge-Clan members alone with a new and exciting thing, be it an Artifact or newly discovered substance, for far too long without checking in on them while they are prodding said new thing. At best, you will return to see them all dead after suffering fates worse than death; at worst, they have gone native and started a new sect of the Great Gearmother.

Huh, probably could trade that to a Knight Order for a Favor.

A trunk of stone, colored by ages of geological activity and modified by burrows and tunnels wrought by metal and flesh, roots drinking deep from once-lost knowledge as it ambled here and there, steps lumbering yet shy, the steps of something taken after birth and after purpose had been found but not grasped, and a crown of leaves writing stories eternal across their brethren dripping in the ink of life. Her head shifted, and she looked at the roots stretching further away, dancing between rocks and caverns, spreading across a hundred knots and a hundred weeping wounds healed by sap and compassion. And ending in five brambles of root and thorn, guarding and shielding that which lay within, the whimpers of hurt minds like a siren's song for the leviathan as she began to drift over them, hands falling over her back to touch and pry, seek and feel.

so the construction bot action, how does it turn out? Do we just put "use A number of caretaker bot artefact on B to get A number of progress? " is there a limit? is there a exchange rate like 3:1? can we use the artifacts again once they are finished? did you already answer this?

or are these spoilers?

One thing we should remember is to send the DoD on a disaster relief mission to the Sunken Hollows. Either to help rebuild or rescue whoever survives.

You use 10 bots per Progress and they are destroyed after that due to rough use and lack of maintanence, and there is no limit. The bots used up can be decreased with futher investments of research and industry, but you can basically finish Actions with them that would take ten turns in one without any loss of functionality.

Oh, you are already doing that with this turn and further looking into the Verdant Oasis and the Tenebris Library. But you should keep in mind that there are genuinely continent-spanning empires on Calynth with tens of millions of people aware of what is happening and fighting back in their own way. You are not alone, and neither will you be forced to do the work all your own. But you are able to grasp a weapon and a tool, so you can help in your own ways in the war to come.

i know that,at this point,our people will have little chance of playing a major role in this crises. I just didnt know which concrete,actual steps we could do to do our part. and do more in the future. "grow stronger?" we always try to. " seek the knowledge" from where? from who? the box? i guess the expedition is part of that.which is good to know,thanks. but i can hardly tell which actions are part of the " keep our planet from being consumed by malevolence" action-chain.


also can we use any bot we have? or just the caretaker swarms?

ha "just" we have a lot

Verdant Oasis and Tenebris Library have things that will help you, as they were pointed out by the cubes.

And yes.

RELEASE THE SWARM!

10 bots for one point of Progress is pretty costly, even if we have a big pile right now. But since there is no limit - what we probably should do is use them to speedrun the Tree's Laboratory Complex next turn. Not sure how much "massively improved success chances" will translate to, +100, 200, something else?

Still, even +100 is a big deal for a lot of projects, and will surely include whatever followup research projects that will reduce the cost per Progress, and we must take those. If we can cut the costs down to the 1-3 bot per Progress range, then we can probably speedrun building forever.

An update to my plan, with 2 TMDs - one to provide the suggested disaster relief - another to start grabbing at that low-hanging fruit in the Oasis and get our hands on those secrets. Still don't know what to do for Diplomacy, so suggestions are completely welcome.

I think the last time we did this it was as a 'A Small Donation - (Organization) - (Topic) - (Donation Sum)' Action? @HeroCooky What would be the right action for this?

Also; we probably gathered more information about what went down in the Sunken Hollows after Akane's letter. Do we know how bad it got? Like, Tessen got a region-wide debuff from 1 Titan/Behemoth (the Plague Engine), how did the Sunken Hollows cope with having 9 stomp around?

A report? We could look for information about how other regions do, that forest in Baron Esker's backyard, or the history of some of the groups we met recently.

Why the pit instead of more looting of the Oasis?
