Rumors:​

House Tessen Begins Constructing More Public Works - The Tessen Speaker
With the population of Tessen surging due to immigration increasing thanks to the economic knock-off benefits of airships, the towns and cities of the Region have grown beyond their current capacity to service things like sanitation, hospitality, and healthcare. As such, House Tessen has decreed an expansion to many public works, from public baths, drinking cisterns, washhouses, sewage lines, housing complexes, recycling centers, and landfills to traveler accommodations, hospices, public work projects, and more. Thanks to this, it is assumed that many previously unemployed young people will find their purses heavier, and the gangs, ever a scourge on the Region, find their potential recruits far less plentiful.

New Knight Patterns Approved For Use - The Truthful Observers
After much deliberation and research, nineteen new Knight Patterns have been approved for production. Their frames will soon walk off the Empire's production lines to gradually replace those of the old Patterns and to bolster the ranks of new Knight Chapters founded in accordance with the Chainbreaker Accords. Incorporating much of newly discovered and re-created technologies, these Patterns are a massive improvement in terms of speed, agility, and carrying capacity, though little has been changed in terms of armor and muscle layout due to "already peak efficiency" as claimed by Elder Theologius after an interview with the Observer in the Capital. Named after modern deities venerated throughout the Empire, they are set to charge after high standards to make themselves worthy of bearing the names they have been graced with.

A Toy For Every Season - Rags, Rumors, And Rants
Though a manufactury for toys within Norqod has only recently been finished, expansions are already being planned and enacted, from the minor to the grand, with everything from the mundane to the rare seeing expansions, including deals to ship the Flying Toy Shop's signature toys, miniature airships utilizing sanctioned scraps of suspendium to float above the ground, all across the Region. It is heartening to see that, even with most of House Dall's attention being on the marriage of their scion to that of one of House Ulatarn, the little folk aren't being neglected in their need for joy in these times.

Learn Of Our Peaceful Ways - The Norqod Vegetable
Not by ways of aiding and healing but by the implicit threat of the manifold weaponry we have developed! Gauss weaponry all along the walls and watchtowers, gas canisters fired over walls and mountains that shall take your breath and make you cry, blades sharpened, then sharpened again just to be sharpened once more! The Pilgrims know how to be peaceful by force held back with a sheathed blade! Let's just pray they don't start trying to weaponize cooking, too, I don't think we would survive that!

Region Reports

Bone Valley​

Nothing new to report. Everything goes as planned, with no interesting rumors or happenings to report on. Some new converts joined with their families, and some of our members have grown, but beyond that, nothing stirs above as well as below.

Signed; Omar of Iron.

Sunken Hollows​

Hello, this is Akane.

The contracts have all been finished, the forges are almost ready for production, and the bloomeries are about to begin their first tests to ensure the metals they produce are of the required quality. Nothing beyond that to report, as the Region is quiet and still.

With a bored goodbye,
Akane.

Broken Crossroads​

Our efforts to secure ourselves have hit no snag, with the gangs in the Region backing off thanks to our "soft" targets being more challenging to hit than those of others, which has caused some amount of misplaced anger being directed at us for not being victims. Our preachers have been set to soothe this anger and redirect it to the rightful source: the gangs themselves.

Additionally, I have begun to make some headway into assuaging and befriending House Tisa, with some lower-ranked members quick to vent their frustrations about their station in life to me in addition to exchanging some loose words of friendship in the hopes of obtaining some manner of support they can utilize to better their lot. I remain doubtful that they will succeed, as aside from Lady Nal-Ila, they are primarily buffoons without a grand plan in life beyond subsisting off of the scraps fed to them by their more daring or capable family members.

On the other hand, Lady Nal-Ila has been a gracious host and has quickly revealed herself to be an ambitious and well-connected young woman eager to take the changing times by the throat and shake them for the most gain for herself as she can. That she has managed to obtain several close properties to our Airship Depot to sell services to merchants arriving in ever-increasing numbers should not have surprised me, but it still did. Additionally, she shares most of our outlooks, especially regarding the Mutated. I believe she will be an invaluable ally in the decades to come as we both ensure our stars rise through the skies.

Barric.

Broken Titan​

I have little to report beyond the forging of more families, the creation of more life within these bonds, and some beyond that of legal documents. Our reach grows each week, and some of the city folk we have convinced of the Path will soon become a means to reach the lowest in the Citadel, where crime and suffering go hand in hand in vicious cycles that lead nowhere but the beginning again and again. It will be difficult to break these routes and guide all willing to the Path outside that suffering, but we must try.

A closed fist can be opened, just as an open hand can be closed.

I think at this point they have stabilized enough that the thing they need most now is time to further secure their position.

Which means we could probably start looking at a new chapter somewhere else.

 

[Oraion29]

I have been wondering a few things now. Do we have recharged gas forgotten? Do we know how to make a gas grill? Because that would be nice to have work for troops and home in our city.

And how close are we to black & white, television or something like that? Because that would be really good to spread knowledg.

Sorry, I am using woce to text. And I am att work

Thanks for explaining that HerroCooky.

In order;
1. You have gotten various upgrades to your weaponry in the form of chemical weapons.
2. No, and it wouldn't be very hard to figure one out. However, doing so would be more trouble than they are worth, as the majority of people use fuel-bricks for fires, and they are more economical and practical than carrying around gas-fueled grills.
3. Far. You do not have the underlying impetus to create something like that, and you are also struggling against interference by the Rusting Forest for your basic radio programs. It required (IIRC) 2 Research Projects to send clear signals without them being utterly corrupted by left-over jammers and signal disruptors within the Rusting Forest. Television is some years out yet, and any distribution beyond 1 TV per settlement you are directly sponsoring is dozens of decades out too due to the economics of it all.

Tenets

Origin: Humanism
They say that humans are 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, the size of which depends on the site.)

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

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

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

Pod of Rebirth
This machine is capable of altering a person's appearance, from mere haircuts to radical morphological changes, such as the removal of all traces of Mutation within a single day at its longest. Unfortunately, the requirements for its operation are such that only a dedicated and large power plant could hope to keep it in operation continuously. It also has a handy instruction manual to set up the changes yourself!
(+40 to Biology.)

2x Dying Light
Whoever cobbled this piece of electro-scrap together either knew what they were doing, or had a lot of luck and miracles on their side.
Hand-held Coilgun - +50 to Pioneer Weapons/Electronics - (10d4 Damage, Standard Armor Penetration (50% of Damage ignores Armor).)

Tidestrider
The only thing we know about this machine is that it supposedly has been used in ocean-going ships to swiftly part waters. Anything else must be uncovered by deliberate activation, which is fraught with dangers.

Eyes of Règle - Equipped by Silvia Jr.
These biomechanical eyes were recovered from deep within the Forest, within a guarded and secluded, almost fortress-like laboratory, where corpses upon corpses were piled against the doors to the chamber in which they were hidden. The corpses all faced outwards, and what weapon-shaped object remained tells well of what must have happened. It was a battle to see these safe, one that ended in a grand and terrible slaughter.
(Eyes of Règle - Painlessly attach themselves to the user, allowing them to discern when lies, and what kind of lies, are being told. They can be manually shut down.)

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.

-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.)

-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 - 18-Year-Old
Your first child! She is, in every aspect, perfect! Her legs and ears are like her mother's, even if her fur is entirely obsidian. She has two horns growing above and swinging around her head in a tiny semi-circle, looking like a regal crown with spikes atop (even if it makes putting a shirt on a pain), framing her golden hair. She does have a relatively long tail, furred like a Swedish forest cat (the fur is obsidian again, though white spots have started appearing), which means you need to get a tailor for her pants. Her first teeth recently started to fall out, some being replaced with sharper versions, like fangs. Her laughing and smiles melt your heart, and she has this cute habit of putting her tail into her mouth like a snow leopard. Unfortunately, she is blind, so teaching her to read and defend herself is challenging. You found a seller for braille books and a guide on how to read them, so you can confidently say that she can read when she's grown up. But you still need to figure out how she could defend herself. Maybe grenades? Her first word had been 'Dada.' You'll never let Selene live that one down. Letting her go to School hurts more than you'd like to admit. Your move to Norqod has upset her; she won't be able to meet and play with her friends as often as she wants. However, she has made new friends, and with Crinkles letting her ride him everywhere, she has seemingly adjusted to her new normal. She is having her "rebel" phase. You do not know if her asking you for advice on how to rebel better is a sign of being a good parent or utterly failing at ensuring she can rebel on her own. The moment she turned 18, Markus Ulatarn proposed to her, the two finally pushing their "secret" relationship into the open...though in a way that left the impression it was with the modifier "kicking and screaming" for her, seeing how adorably embarrased she was by the whole thing. You are happy for her and her future.

Son-In-Law: Lord Markus Ulatarn - 19-Year-Old
A child of nobility, he was given to be raised and educated while laying the foundation of a relationship between the two Houses. He has since fully grown accustomed to being here and has made fast friends with Silvia Jr., several of her friends, and others. He likes Crinkle. He recently took up painting after watching the various artists in Norqod decorate and carve into the rock. He has made two paintings of Silvia Jr., one specially created to allow her to touch, and thus see, what he has painted. You are watching him. Screw that joke over watching him; that boy just proposed to your daughter! He is now officially (almost) family, so he'd better start running because you are about to drag him into the whole marriage thing from the deep end if he does not.
(You have a Son-In-Law!)

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.
-Combat Drug - Refined Re-Breath: Re-roll failed casualty rolls.
-Improved Ranged Spider: An autonomous drone for military applications. Special Rule: Independent Units (Gains 5/5 Armor and 2/2 Internal Structure, has a Ranged attack of 1d3 per Unit size.).

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

Trophies:
1x Banner of Lumination (Eversun)

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

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

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

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

We Can Do It!:
Aria has been deeply empathetic, caring, and driven from a young age. Since joining the Pilgrims, she has grown into a relentlessly friendly and optimistic young woman, shaped by her adoptive family's experiences. With her determined personality, she picked up "a little bit of everything" at a young age by enthusiastically volunteering to assist in any and everything. She picked the brains of anyone willing to let her, though the more curmudgeonly among the Pilgrims find her boundless enthusiasm tiresome. But she will give everything she has in all she does, unfortunately, sometimes beyond that.
(+20 to all actions this Hero is assigned to, -10 for every Turn Relax is not chosen. Currently: +/-0)

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

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

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

Daughter - Lillia
The first of what will assuredly be many, Lillia, has been adopted by Aria and Chiedi with the understanding that they will know nothing about parenting and will assuredly be overwhelmed by the many challenges and tasks in front of them. Little Lillia is a curious child, full of rambunctious energy, endless creativity, and a penchant for getting into trouble the second you put her out of direct line of sight.

Object of Veneration - Indistinct- Guardian - (112/250)
Actions wreak changes, not of this person, yet for this one, as the world reveals itself to be more than it had been before, changed and yet static as it has been. Something seeks shelter within her shadow, behind her shield, and with her wrath, and so, the world moves to accommodate.
(+20 to all Diplomacy/Norqod Actions, Become More.)

Turi

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

Equipment:
-Dagger: 1 Damage per size (1 total)
-Fly In Amber

Fly In Amber
Despite the name, this is neither a fly trapped in amber nor a painting depicting such, but a set of armor that resembles amber yet is tougher than anything we could produce on our own. The set, when worn, lights up with circuits of unknown purpose, but those who wear the armor feel a sense of confidence and clarity of thought.
Light Armor - +50 to Pioneer Armor/Electronics - (25/25 Armor for a Hero, +4 Armor Self-Repair per Combat Turn.)

Traits:
Experimental Oddity Passion (2/7):
Ever since Turi was able to research the world and tinker, she has harbored an intense interest in things that most people dismiss or consider Blue Skies projects. With the time she has spent working on such things, her desire to deal with the impossible and deliver impossible results has only heightened with success after success.
(+2d4 Successes per assignment to a Breakthrough Technology. Can be upgraded.)

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

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

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

Veda looked at the giant block of metal before his office in the Tree of Knowledge, the hunk of machinery and painted plates humming ominously with a thousand different clicks and whirrs from its internal life that he could only guess at...wait, no, he knew at least two-thirds of those noises, and he pretty confident he could decipher the last third with a screwdriver and nine minutes.

What he could not decipher was why the massive...do-it-yourself Bright-Lance(?) was in front of his office, blocking the entrance. Though...was there a note on his door? On the second inspection, there was a note stapled to his door, apparently either before or after (the angle of the staple left both outcomes as the most reasonable one without more investigation) the DIY Bright-Lance had been put before the door, blocking it almost completely.

Reaching around, Veda carefully pulled the staple from the door while two fingers grasped the paper, ensuring it wouldn't fall out of reach, before removing both. Looking down at the note, he saw that it seemed to be from the group set on the Bright-Lance project.

"To whom it may concern," Veda read the note out loud. That would likely be him since he was the one nominally in charge of high-energy projects due to his experience in the subject. "This is the result of our efforts to recreate a Bright-Lance. It required 90 types of lizard shit, Artifact mutilation, and debatable heresy against the laws of nature to pull off. This thing weighs three tons, must be used by no less than three people, is genuinely terrible in combat, and will run out of power within seven seconds if fired. We recommend delivering more examples of Bright-Lances so we may attempt to not make this weapon a complete sky-castle or far more time spent on improving our ability to produce focusing arrays that are not likely to spend 78% of inputted energy as waste-heat."

Lord Kaleen Ertenour was not part of the higher echelons of society; his family was situated just far enough above the non-inheritable noble titles that two or three bad marriages wouldn't push his family back into the strata of being (admittedly wealthy) commoners. Yet, the Ertenour Family was situated just high enough to obtain ranks and positions within the military for their scions and members with relatively little difficulty...so long as the same showed enough merit to be placed in the earmarked positions in the first place. For Kaleen, that meant going through the Tessen Military Academy, a relatively small institution that wasn't as prestigious as, say, that of the Capital, where generals and Marshals were crafted from the clay of noble blood and commoner mud.

For him, it meant getting into the Bureau For Imperial Military Logistics as part of the local Region's General-Quartermaster's staff as part of their aides, ending with him being promoted to Head of Technological Procurement after thirty years of working up to that position. Few could say that such a position wasn't prestigious, especially as he was within a Region adjacent to a Necropolis where ancient treasures and forgotten technologies could be unearthed, with potentially earth-shattering implications glimpsed from the decayed husks of ancient technology.

Lord Kaleen had expected that his service in the Bureau For Imperial Military Logistics would not be of much earth-shattering upheaval but would be marked by the introduction of some slow improvements in various matters and areas.

Then the Pilgrims happened, Suspendium was found, and his expectations were turned upside down.

For the last few years, nearly every waking moment he could justify had been spent trying to create and develop a variety of methods and projects that could make use of Suspendium in non-airship-related ways to improve the security of the Empire and Region, such as the forays into suspendium-laced alloys to allow super-heavy Knights to walk as quickly as light scouts, or the usage of suspendium within weaponry. If there was a way to enable a soldier to swing a 1-ton hammer as easily as a 2kg sword while imparting the same kinetic energy, then that would turn their frontlines into blenders for the foes of the Empire!

Unfortunately, in his mind, these most apparent ways of implementation, alongside various niche ways, were not the main focus of his official duties, as he still had to look at and judge the various technological advancements and innovations created by the general population and numerous guilds or religions within the Region for possible implementation for the military.

This meant that he had been sitting in his office reading about the proposed gravitational propulsion methods for artillery when a group of pilgrims entered one of the Bureau's offices, carrying various schematics, blueprints, technical documents, examples, and formulas that would soon land on his desk to judge.

Some, like the drugs, could morally and ethically not be implemented. In contrast, others, like their research into Power Armor and Coilguns, would be sent to the various attempts to create the same in far more economical scales throughout the Empire like so many other groups would.

But the mortars...those caught his personal interest.

---

There are depths beyond the depths most scavengers dare to go, the dangers scurrying within ancient halls long forgotten and lost hallways thick with the mold of generations untold, suffocating sunrise after sunrise, all who walk their dreams amidst their toxic spores and claws of viscera.

Beneath the Bloodless Thicket, that jungle of brambles that eagerly accepts the sacrifice of self and others with that most sanguine of liquids...

Beneath that realm of tangled vines and cutting thorns which ever-so grows upon the corpses of all things which fall and die below the earth of molten stone turned to paths and housing...

Beneath that warren...

Beneath...

Beneath...

Beneath...lies more.

The Forest of Rust is proud and untamed. It towers with mighty high-rises and skyscrapers of biblical proportions, those towers of wyrd glass and mutilated steel that bare their ribs to the air so that it may cry and mourn all who are no longer there within their bodies to pump and feed them with vital feed and energizing thoughts. It is the mighty beasts slinking through the shadows with nary a sound, their paws tapping silently across the cracked pathways and the overgrown parks, nostrils filled with the scent of prey praying for another day. It is the rats scurrying around, bearing tender banners of companies adorning cloth or flesh in ink and cotton, their paws gingerly taking a city by pieces because they cannot take it whole, twitching and sniffing the air for any dangers so that they may survive the Dreadnoughts that stalk the towers for those who desecrate the monuments of their makers in eternal servitude in broken minds shackled in undulating madness so rarely lifted into sanity...only to be plunged back by the weight of their perceived sins.

The Rusting Forest is dark and unforgiving. It is the pumps beneath mighty towers that, even now, supply water and oil and nutrients and fluids of all kinds to every corner and recess without pause, their carcasses etched altars of a billion maintenance cycles past and a billion maintenance routines passed. It is the tunnels of sewers and subways clogged by the forgotten residue that nobody will ever clear, home to new life and older memories, the nests of insects, and the bones of animals lost in the depths of water and soil. It is the howling of the predators that emerge during freezing nights, heralded by the breaking of iced-over grates and doors, claws and fingers deftly opening gates and handles to reveal eyes that see with intelligence unnerving for its lack of deeper comprehension rather than their ability to understand forgotten truths and well-worn lies. It is the hush that falls when one of its Kings and Queens and Royals wakes, these Behemoths and Dreadnoughts that do not stalk, do not march, do not run, but command with presence and unchallenged beauty born from malicious benevolence their search for sustenance and parts, ripped with the most tender of incisors from their favorite lambs by caring hands that only they can give to these lost souls in need of warmth and care.

The Necropolis atop Tessen is a land of the dead, the dying, and the deceased future strung by its own promises. It is the winding passages and halls of factories ever-expanding and ever-shrinking by mad minds that have never known the joy of sunshine atop their metal carapace. It is the forests and the thickets that have taken root in silent vigil atop and throughout burned shelters where millions stand, side-by-side, with empty eyes and broken gaze, in treacherous hope that the end may not come for them, as promised, as thought, when the world itself broke apart. It is a remnant of peoples that had once proclaimed to their own moon their superiority, had scoffed at the utopia once again offered with bleeding hearts and teary eyes, had slapped away the attempts of a being crafted by their ancestors' hands to improve all their lives. It is the end of a war and the beginning of a duel between the Ending Of The Beginning and the Beginning Of The End, yearning to set right what crime has been done and what crime has yet to be committed.

The Patient Conservatory breathes below the Bloodless Thicket; with every expansion of its lungs, another species is added to its galleries of living saprophytes, and another vein bulges with the transport of another seed that moves through chlorophyll and water and sugar and calcium, and the shattered glass of mended dreams.

It is the nexus from which one may descend into depths beyond depths, broken and dismayed, where few hands have grasped, where minds remain unwound by the spooled fates, where intelligence is but naught a fabric to be woven in silken hooves of cloven treats.

The Mossy Depths call. They shine and feed; they are the end of Reason.( Insanity)

The Shattered Seeds sing their lullabies. They are the end of Sensation.( Calm)

The Waterfall Hallows howl their endless cascade. They are the end of my Self.( Other)

The Garden of Flowering Mimicry cries its lemonade lies. They are the end of Leaves.( Meat)

And beneath those five of four...

Beneath...

Beneath...

Beneath...lies more.

[ ] Communal Outreach - (Repeatable)

[ ] 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.

Spoiler: Buildings

[ ] Enlarge Outlying Town Soup-Kitchens
A place where one can get a warm meal once per day, usually stews, but also bread, a rare slice of cheese or meat, and a dash of honey and salt is not much by the standards of many. By the standards of those who rarely have a full belly once a week, such is a heavensend worth treasuring.
(Turns: 7
Reward: -3 to Piety rolls, 5d100 Recruits, +0.50 Goodwill per Turn, unlocks further progress.)

[ ] Establish Rudimentary Territorial Hospices
Our treatments for the sick and injured within the cities have enjoyed great popularity among the population. More and more people are coming to seek our 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.
(Already Built: Mirn, Ularn, Zulmni, and Tessen.

Reward: -4 to Piety rolls, +0.50 Goodwill per Turn, +8 Recruits per Turn.)

[ ] 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.

[ ] Improve An Orphanage - (Location)
Much time has passed since we 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 entirely 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 stones, 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 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 for us to turn that chance into a certainty.
(Reward: -2 to Piety rolls, +1 Follower per Turn.)

[X] Build Outlying Fortified Orphanages - (7/10 Turns Complete)
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: 10
Reward: 0.01 Goodwill, -20 to Piety rolls.)

[ ] Build A Humane 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 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, and hopefully, recovered patients will 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.

Reward: Expanded Humane Asylum, +0.30 Goodwill per Turn.)

[ ] Build Upon The 'Consensuals'
The brothels we built have rapidly gained a reputation as a high-class establishment. While good for our purse, it is less suitable for those with less than 'expert talents' within the industry. By building new floors and digging some down, we 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. With them, we can also build upon our work in helping those trying to escape forced Sex Work with better security a must.
(Reward: Upgraded 'Consensuals,' -1 to Piety rolls, +0.04 Goodwill. Unlocks another Building.)

[ ] 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: 2
Reward: Final resting place for the forgotten and discarded, -5 to Piety rolls.)

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 rugged high-grade prosthetics, more than merely producing and selling them is required. Unfortunately, too many veterans, injured, disabled, or unlucky, cannot afford a new arm, leg, hand, or foot. So, create a few thousand in bulk and ship them to where they are needed, where local Pilgrims may gift them as required.
(Chance: 99/50/25%
Reward: Gain 4/7/15d5 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.

[ ] 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.

[ ] Aerodynamics 103 - (All Physics)
Speed is of the essence when you are moving anywhere, as the faster you arrive, the less chances there are for enemies to catch, attack, disembowel, and eat you. Improving upon the equipment we have right now will be the key to ensuring that no one will catch us!
(Chance: 40/00/-60% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 8
Reward: Improve current propulsion methods, Follow-Up Project.)

[ ] Aerodynamics 202 - (All Physics)
Speed is of the essence when you are moving anywhere, as the faster you arrive, the fewer chances enemies will catch, attack, disembowel, and eat you. So developing new and novel equipment will be the key to ensuring that no one will catch us!

Reward: Better Airship Propulsion, Follow-Up Project.)

[ ] Suspendium Shaping Theory - (Pioneer Suspendium)
Thanks to our increased understanding of Suspendium, several important discoveries have been made, with the most important one being that Suspendium, if rightly treated, can be used as more than shards of a crystal but also as a pigment for tattoos. The implications of that discovery have haunted the Experimental Wing since, with dozens of theories and projections thrown around that point to the possibility that, if correctly treated, one could reshape the structure of Suspendium into liquid and non-natural shapes. The ability to interlace a lattice of Suspendium into a suit of armor or crate instead of painstakingly working it into the same would be nothing short of revolutionary, and that are merely the most obvious applications!

Breakthrough Research: +1d6 Successes every 20 Successes!)

[ ] Pressurized Suspendium Part 5a - (Pioneer Suspendium Theory)
"It is imperative to the continued progress of native Airship construction and research that funds and attention are allocated toward projects like this to allow our constructed vessels to bear far more weight at far less risk and trade-offs than ever before. Even if the hard, grueling work of years this path entails does not have the same sexy or alluring appearance as other avenues of research in matters of lift, it will pay off in the long run, as evidenced by the small amounts of suspendium required to lift vessels of far larger size into the air found within the Forest of Rust."

Reward: EPC Storage Bays (Small, Medium, Large).)

[ ] Savoring Sunlight - (Common Physics/Electronics)
An idea was recently floated to the Research Halls by Pilgrim Oraion to investigate the use cases of covering an airship with solar panels to reduce its Power requirements by continually producing power for low weight and Structure costs. Certainly worth investigating.
(Chance: 99/99/86 for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 12

Reward: Requested Module. Describe what you want, and I'll tell you what it will cost/require.)

[ ] Army Troop Modules - (Common Hydraulics)
The Army wants airships capable of transporting large quantities of troops. This presents a minor logistical problem, as we need to cram in as many people as possible without turning the ship into a plague cauldron.

[X] The Training Halls of the Crews - (4/7 Turns Complete)
While the creation of the School of Crews has allowed us to instill the basics into crewmembers, pilots, and captains, we must labor to increase the scope of their education so that they will be equipped to deal with a more extensive range of disasters, as well as train in semi-simulated environments to handle things while receiving first-hand experiences.
(Turns: 7

[X] The Academy of the Skyneers - (5/6 Turns Complete)
Keeping an airship running is not as easy when you are in the skies, especially if you do not have access to the parts you need to fix something critical immediately. Patchjobs are typical for long-standing airships when suffering a malfunction too many, and finding ways to flick what is broken with the tools one has is far more important than knowing how to repair things with materials you cannot reach. Now, if only we could stop the students from calling themselves 'Skyneers' while we are at it...

Spoiler: Faith for the Skies

[ ] A Draft Of Mercy
Military and commercial applications of airships have taken a dangerous precedent and priority for us, something that we cannot tolerate any longer. With airships, we can help so many more at so much less hassle and cost, aiding, in turn, more and more people in need. Flying with doctors and medicine to the places that need them instead of forcing them to arrive at one of our locations they may never be able to reach alive is but the most apparent use of something our scholars are rapidly calling "Temple Ships."
(Turns: 1
Cost: 5 Medium Suspendium Shards
Reward: Unlock Aid and Faith Modules for your Airships.)

[ ] Halls of Free Minds
Arguing about the Paths and the Pilgrimage is good, yet there are places where one needs to set aside faith and replace it with uncertain certainty. Faith can guide us through the immaterial when there are no answers to be wrought, but Philosophy can guide us through the material when questions are all that are created by the answers we find.
(Turns: 4
Cost: 2 Medium Suspendium Shards
Reward: Halls of Free Minds, Unlocks further Actions, -5 to Piety Rolls.)

[ ] Gardens of Levitation
A person's inner mind is as much a Path to travel as the physical Journey we all undertake. In a garden, one can ground themselves in nature and the works wrought by hand and guided minds, reflecting on what can be created if a desire exists and the shapes that our universe takes within these forms. By embracing weightlessness and detachment from gravity, one can enter a trance beneficial to beginning a Journey of the Inner Path.

Reward: Gardens of Levitation, Unlocks further Actions, -5 to Piety Rolls.)

[ ] A Coming Of Age Inscribed
While using tattoos to display one's allegiance and faith has long since been a part of the Pilgrimage that has been implicitly approved, the years since the discovery of Suspendium have turned this practice into a far more ritualistic affair, now tinted in the possibilities and assured knowledge of Suspendiums non-toxic nature. Finely ground down, treated in gentle heat, and then processed into a form of pigment, Suspendium has begun to be used by many, especially those of us who come of age, to display our Paths and Journey proudly and unafraid. Offering public approval and enshrining this practice as part of the Pilgrimage will bring a sense of community to us all while empowering those who fight to leave a past behind they have conquered.

Reward: Suspendium Ritual Tattoos - -5 to Piety Rolls.)

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. (1 Action Locked)

Spoiler: Diplomacy Actions

[ ] The Great Trade Fleets - (Choose Region)
With the proliferation of airships, the abundance of goods within Tessen, and the dearth of forces that could threaten either once within the air, convincing the Merchant Guild to construct and maintain an airship depot and trading station within another Region will not be as impossible as before, but will require us to grease hands and argue fervently for the profits that could be made. No merchant likes a risk they do not think will pay off, so we should make them believe it will.

Reward: Closer connection and rapid exchange of people, goods, and information with a chosen Region.)

[ ] 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.

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: 5
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 seeking to adapt to the blind seeking their traces and those seeing that perceive their wanderings.
(Cost: 25 Goodwill, Upkeep: 4 Goodwill
Turns: 5
Reward: Reduce the chance of your agents being caught and considerably reduce the impact of failures.)

[ ] 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: 4
Reward: Improve all Assassination Actions, which allows you to send the same to other Chapters to help.)

[ ] 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 roots and stems 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.

[ ] 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.

Reward: Improved Repeater Coilgun.)

[ ] Gasses Soon Remembered - (Advanced Weaponry/Chemicals)
These tiny capsules promise to end a fight before it even begins, saving valuable lives. But, of course, building your own can only help you in the long run.
(Chance: 50/45/40% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 14
Reward: Standard Gas Grenades)

[ ] Burning Fire, Raging Ire - (Advanced Weaponry/Chemicals)
It is one thing to light a rag connected to alcohol and throw it, another to have a reliable fire grenade. Such chemicals and ancient mentions of how we could create those must exist.
(Chance: 90/60/30% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 3
Reward: Primitive Fire Grenade)

[ ] 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.
(Needed Artifact: Intact Civilian Flamethrower
Chance: 99/99/99% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 1
Reward: Primitive Flamethrower, BIHF Pt.2a + Pt.2b)

[ ] Repair The Hammer - (Weaponry/Metallurgy/Alloys)

Reward: Auto-Bandage - (Standard))

[ ] Combat Stimms Round 4 - (Pioneer Medicine/Biology/Chemicals)
This is the pinnacle of what our scholars and medical personnel feel comfortable with researching. Anything beyond this point is either too deadly, has too many side effects, or is too unethical to create.
(Chance: -350/-400/-450% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 50
Reward: Pioneer Combat Drugs.
Breakthrough Research: +1d6 Successes every 10 Successes!)

[ ] Body Images, With Magnets! - (Pioneer Medicinal/Machinery/Physics)
One of the blueprints we found in the Necropolis appears to be for a machine that uses magnetic waves to take images of the body's soft tissues, bones, and other hard tissue. This would greatly help our hospital, as many maladies like tumors are hard to detect until the problem becomes life-threatening.
(Requirements: Lost-Tech Medical Blueprints x1
Chance: 99/03/-55% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 20
Reward: MR scanner - upgrade for the hospital. Improved performance.)

Spoiler: Agriculture

[ ] Chemical Fertilizers - (Advanced Chemicals)
Though known in most Regions, the production of chemical fertilizers faces some roadblocks due to the advent of sandwheat. You can't make a desert more fertile, after all. Yet, we can improve the yields and growth of those crops that grow on the more traditional soils by coming up with local variants of fertilizers that won't damage the soil overly. Hopefully.
(Chance: 25/20/15% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 11
Reward: Improves yields of all farms once Fertilizer production starts. Unlocks Norqod Action.)

Spoiler: Psychology

[ ] Growing Minds Part 2 (Pioneer Psychology)
The minds of children are more robust and more fragile than we think they are. Children are intelligent, just not experienced, and with time, they will gain that experience to deal with situations that are required of them when they are adults. What, then, happens if a child is forced to grow up too early? Has such experiences without the tools and understanding to handle what they are going through?
(Chance: -50/-380/-590% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 145
Breakthrough Research: +30 Chance of Success per 10 Successes!
Rewards: Improvement for schools and orphanages.)

[ ] Blue Sky Psychology - (Pioneer Psychology)
With most of the problems you have been able to identify at least tangentially understood and categorized, there is nothing more to do than seek out other disorders and diseases of the mind, and means to cure them. However, such an endeaveor is a long-weary thing and offers little concrete results in the short term.
(Chance: -100/-300/-900% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 120
Breakthrough Research: +50 Chance of Success per 10 Successes!
Reward: Deeper Understanding of the Human Psyche, +1% Piety per Turn.)

Spoiler: Electronics And Programming

[X] Optical Fibers - (Pioneer Machinery/Electronics/Physics) - (20/36 Successes)
One of the blueprints we found in the Necropolis appears to be for a machine that uses glass wires instead of metal to weave cables. We might have found one of the secrets behind the Ancients' data-transferring abilities. As hard as it would be to get glass thin and flexible enough to work as wire, it would greatly improve our capacity to transmit data. However, even a single cable like that would be ruinously expensive without a massive investment in the industries to build them.
(Requirements: Lost-Tech Machinery Blueprints x1
Breakthrough Research: +40 Success Chance every 4 Successes.
Chance: 99/99/99% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes Needed: 36

(Chance: 99/99/-100% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 35
Reward: ???)

[ ] Secret Of The Circuit Pt.5 - (Pioneer Electronics)
There is always another step to be taken. Another path to be taken. This is no different. The road is long but worth it. At the end of this, one awaits the ability to produce the electronics of the ancients in artisanal batches rather than as mere toys to show that we can. One is something that will never be used, and the other is a strategic resource.
(Chance: 99/-100/-550% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 150
Reward: Basically, auto-succeed low-level Electronics Research, upgrades Electronics Manufacture, unlocks Base/Learning Action.
Notice: Breakthrough Research! +20% to Success Chance every 10 Successes!)

[ ] Automation Cost Reduction - (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. With our first foray done with, we now need to prove that we have managed to do what we set out to do.
(Chance: -205/-235/-285% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 147
Reward: Unlocks Base/Learning Action.
Breakthrough Research: +20% to Success Chance every 6 Successes!
Notice: -100 Successes needed if [Automated Factories - Test Cases] has been completed.)

Spoiler: Physics And Hydraulics

[ ] The Little Crystal That Could Pt.3 - (Pioneer Physics)
Okay, they work by liquid Jewel propelling shaped crystals alongside a path set by a plasma matrix acting as their brain. This matrix is, apparently, a biological copy of an existing construct within the Machinery Cavern where we found the little things, formed by an artificial means we do not understand. What we do understand is that the Living Crystals are capable of reasoning, observation, and reacting to outside stimuli. They also despise the color yellow-sand.
(Chance: -83/-137/-374% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 210
Reward: Unlock the next stage to study and examine the Living Crystals within the Machinery Caverns by figuring out how they can think. It will also massively improve your understanding of physics and plasma.)
Notice: Breakthrough Research! +5% to Physics Success Chances every 10 Successes!)

[ ] A Study Of Scarlet Blue Pt.2 - (All Advanced Physics/Chemicals/Hydraulics)
PD keeps cool via a blue-red liquid, which also contains vital components for her internal and external self-repair capabilities. During a cooling cycle, the fluid passes through several devices meant to siphon off and reduce temperature. We have identified several portions of her frame that have suffered from a dozen micro-fractures and maintenance failures due to her internal systems being unable to reach them to siphon off the heat. While she finds it uncomfortable to have someone re-arrange her internals, the necessity of such has convinced her to allow it to happen.
(Chance: 17/01/-34% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 11
Reward: +5 to all rolls made by PD.)

Spoiler: Miscellaneous Research

[ ] Know Thy Enemy - (Choose) - (All Biology+Medical/Mechanical+Machinery+Electronics Depending on Enemy)
With the increasing number of protective duties our adherents take upon themselves, we should study our foes' biological/mechanical makeup to identify weak points and strengths. With such knowledge, we can purposefully target their vulnerable spots.

Reward: Theory of chosen subject, improved chances for research.)

[ ] 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.
Chance: 99/99/99% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 1
Reward: Change the fashion around the Region, outraged moral guardians, and Tahmid styles on the Region.)

[ ] Translations For Beginners - (Linguistics) - (1 (one) Artifact)
Finding these texts was a stroke of luck, but bad luck had them written in a language none of the Pilgrims could understand. It's time to hit the local libraries and linguists to translate it.
(Cost: Untranslated Texts, Books, other.
Chance: 95/90/85% for 1/2/3 Successes, Successes needed: 1
Reward: Translated Artifact)

[ ] Detective Courses For Beginners - (What Topic/Item/Location?)

Beyond the Bloodless Thicket are the Mossy Depths, Shattered Seeds, Waterfall Hallows, and the Garden of Flowering Mimicry, an area commonly called "The Patient Conservatory." Finding the paths to them is trivial. Treading, or creating, paths to return, however, is not...
(Chance: -50%

Reward: Routes to the Mossy Depths, Shattered Seeds, Waterfall Hallows, and the Garden of Flowering Mimicry are created.
Warning: If failed by more than 30, All Scouts will die.)

(Chance: -50%
Turns: 5
Reward: The Hardened Roots are scouted. You can delve deeper into the Verdant Oasis.
Warning: If detected, your Scouts will vanish.)

[ ] Search For Shelter Lost

(Chance: 45%
Reward: Find the Shelter of the Ancients.)

[ ] 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

What miracles will you find? What horrors do you need to slay to attain them? And what answers and questions shall be found here?
(Chance: ???%
Turns: ???
Reward: The Spire can be accessed.)

[ ] 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.)

[X] Primitive Radar Tower - (2/4 Turns Complete)
It is, perhaps, too soon to say what this technology will bring to the world. There are too many unknowns about how it will interact with the various weapons, tools, and Machines left behind by the Collapse.

[ ] Library - (Large)
A library is a reservoir of knowledge and provides entertainment and education while acting as a community center. Expand the available space to fit twelve additional floors of equal area, with more books and secluded study rooms for those wishing to research in peace. We 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. With this expansion, several new sections focusing on recreation, higher learning, and a more...secluded section for adult-oriented entertainment (we certainly have no shortage of books here) will be added alongside conservationist sections underneath the current floors to increase the number of ancient texts we can study and learn from.

[ ] 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: Conventional Armor Filled, 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.

A place where caravans can store their goods for a small fee while they sell and barter for those they brought and those they wish to take back home. Comes with places to rest, sleep, and prepare for the roads ahead with local guides and adventurers willing to go to the caravan heads instead of the other way around.

Spoiler: Medical District

[ ] Medium 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
Cost: 12 General Doctors/Upkeep: 6 Goodwill
Reward: More medical practitioners equals fewer dead people.)
-[ ] Hire Contractors - (Can be taken multiple times)

(Reward: +1 Turn of Progress)

[ ] 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.)

Spoiler: Industrial District

[ ] Wax Shaper Test Building
Though you have managed to, somehow, create a way to compute and design shapes that can be "printed" upon the physical world thanks to the Metal Printer Artifact you uncovered, the mere complexity of the printing process requires a monumental amount of processing power. Creating such machines and the needed power generation is not cheap. However, the payoff would be immense if we could generate metal constructs wholesale without requiring extensive industrial machines operated by people. Yet, we should start with a wax-based prototype first, just to be sure.
(Cost: 105 Goodwill

Reward: Wax Shapers. Unlocks Prototype Metal Shapers.

[ ] Land Crawler Factory
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.

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.

Heroes: Sometimes, you have to get your own hands dirty. Sometimes, you want to relax since leading the Pilgrims rarely leads to a dull moment. (Martyris: Choose 2 Actions, Aria: Choose 1 Action, Turi: Choose 1 Action)

Spoiler: Hero Actions

[ ] Pathene Weaving - (Equipment Description)
One of the things your mother told and taught you was the ability to weave your hair into challenging and fantastic equipment. These range from vests hardening in response to physical trauma to spears capable of shooting lightning guided by plasma trails. It's too bad you need to cut your hair for such things to become a reality.
(Cost: Arias Hair
Turns: 4
Reward: Pathene Equipment)

[ ] Communion of Unsight - (Martyris) - (Write-In 2 Questions)
I have questions. You will answer.
(Reward: Answers.)

[ ] Shift Your Bureaucracy From (Category) To (Category)
Sometimes, the need arises when efforts must be reduced in one area and expanded in another when no additional resources are available otherwise. Today is one of those times when a shift in attention is required.
(Cost: 0.01 Goodwill
Reward: 1 Action is shifted from the first to the second category, active next Turn.)

[ ] Condemn An Organization/Person As Heretical/Forbidden - (Choose Target) - (Write-In A Reason)
You knew something like this would happen. Somehow, somewhere, an organization or person would draw your full ire. Not in the sense that you disagree with something they did, but what they represent and how they act. Well, you are an official religion; you can condemn them. Do so.
(Trait Needed: Arbitrator
Cost: All support options for the chosen organization will be void; the Leader will most likely hate you.
Reward: Opposing factions will love this act. A good enough Reason can give you additional benefits.)

[ ] Too Much To Do - (Action)
There is too much to do and not enough hands. Start helping out.
(Can be taken multiple times.
Reward: +1 Action is done)

[ ] Lead By Example (Write in Action)
Help your people and motivate them by taking a personal interest in their work. You won't just sit around, either. Two more hands are always needed.
(Reward: +30 to 1 Action)

[ ] Cool Tempers - (Goodwill Cost)
Not everything can always be sunshine and rainbows; sometimes, shit goes sideways, and people must be reminded that failure is not the world's end. With the Pilgrims growing as they do now, keeping everyone working together and on the same page becomes ever more difficult...
(Cost: 5/12/20 Goodwill
Reward: +2/4/6% Piety every 8/6/4 points above 0.)

[ ] Guiding Hand
Some Pilgrims stand at the edge of fully committing to the Pilgrim faith. You should speak to them, see what stops them, and try to either bring them in or make them realize they would make a mistake if they did so.
(Reward: According to the available Followers, the maximum amount of Faithful is created.)

[ ] Relax - (Can Specify What Activity)
All work and no play makes hairs grey and is quite unpleasant.
(Reward: The chosen Hero relaxes, avoiding burnout and bad traits.)

[ ] Write In

A Second That Coughs - ??.?? - +50 to Pioneer Psychology

Click to shrink...

That's... a thing.

It is the end of a war and the beginning of a duel between the Ending Of The Beginning and the Beginning Of The End, yearning to set right what crime has been done and what crime has yet to be committed.

Click to shrink...

So, this might give us some insight into the actual motivations of the White Forest and the Black Forest. With the White Forest considering existence as it is a crime, and the Black Forest considering ending things as they are a crime.

Much Nobilis and Excrucian energy.
