Why this option, when it has Successes Yes and I don't see any relevant Theories cooking iirc?

I'm not sure where you got the idea it was successes yes. But the main answer is simple - look at the breakthrough research benefit. For every 5 successes gained, we get a bunch more - and we have plenty of Lost-Tech Chemical artifacts to throw at it. In short, it's far more feasible than it looks at first glance.

    • Rumors:​

    A Petition Of Compassion - The Tessen Speaker
    Ker-Almur, philanthropist, civil rights advocate, and compassionate believer in the Sacred Hand Branch of the Followers of Light, has made an official appearance within the Court of our Lady of Tessen, thanking her for the guest rights extended to his person and to shelter him from the elements that harass and assail those without the same in the outer territories of the lands of the Empire. As thanks, he gave to her a Knight's Lance fashioned and decorated in the style of his home Region, crafted and created by one of his retainers, a Mutated by the name of Li-Isand. With the exchange of gift and safety completed, he was given the right to speak before her, the Court, and to address the people of Tessen with his words and cause. He did so with all the humility and skill expected of a man who has made it his mission to uplift the Mutated from their place and has championed the cause for nearly five decades at this time.
    (Read more on pages 15-16)

    To Speak For The Speakers - The Truthful Observers
    Ker-Almur is called a light of righteousness for the sinners, a hand of compassion open to the wretched, a beacon for a better future, and the Speaker of the Voiceless, yet is that true, or merely a facade worn by one who has made it his bread and butter, his coin and wealth, fame and fortune, to speak for those already crying against what injustices are done against them? Ker-Almur stands high and mighty, speaks with lofty goals and towering hopes, a hand open with high-minded ideals while another dispenses aid and light to all who may listen...while a third demands coin from the masses, and the fourth takes the same from the destitute. Why, one must ask, does this man who speaks of elevating the Mutated seek such amounts of coin from those who have little to give, all to squander it in lavish gifts and splendorous displays of luxury when on the move and at the courts of the Empire? He says he speaks for the voiceless, but can they not speak for themselves, and have they not done so plenty already themselves?

    A Fashionable Spat - Rags, Rumors, And Rants
    Even the mightiest nobles and rulers of the Empire are not above squabbling against one another, fighting viciously over the grand and the minor things in life and rulership, such as trade...and fashion. For the Dukes of the Three-Point Valley, Sleeper's Rest, and The Hidden Underway Regions have clashed within the Capital, an argument over fashion, as all three appeared before the Imperial Court wearing the exact same outfit, escalated into the levying of additional trade tariffs between each other when each accused the other two of deliberately appearing with the clothing chosen for that day to embarrass and humiliate. The truth of the matter is likely a comical happenstance, but the insinuations of how such came to be have flown from the matter into the realms of the hilarious and fantastical.

    The Nobility Draws Near - The Norqod Vegetable
    It is a tragedy, a horror, a tale from the deepest corners of the Collapse, a swarm of locusts that seeks to eat what little we have left and take all that remains; Nobles have begun to trickle into Norqod for the upcoming marriage. What should we do when our sworn defenders open the gates to the approaching army, when the safety we seek within our walls is rendered null and void, when the voices of nobility come to demand and order within home and hearth? Indeed, though the festivities are bound to be mighty and grand, we are left without safety and calmness of mind, for the end has come in the forms of noble Ladys and Lords to sup upon the joy to come.

    Region Reports

    Bone Valley​

    Our efforts to set up an extended expedition into the Necropolis have been completed without incident or delay. The volunteers are trained, vital resource caches have been planted all along the project routes and scouted areas, and safehouses established where able and ready to lend their safety to the enlargement of other safe zones, with specialized scouts pledging service for the expedition. Now, the Path to tread is up to those who are about to leave us. Our involvement has finished.

    Additionally, the Medical Chemicals Manufactury has completed its first production batch without fail or error. We will begin with establishing medical outposts at once, while distributing the medicine we manufacture to the needy in the meantime.

    Signed; Omar of Iron.

    Sunken Hollows​

    Hello, this is Akane.

    Our militia has been outfitted to the best of our ability and will be able to strike back against anything that seeks to harm us or our efforts. As security is not as much of a concern anymore, we have begun with the labor to construct another scavenging outpost.

    With a thriving goodbye,
    Akane.

    Broken Crossroads​

    We continue on the Path.

    Barric.

    Broken Titan​

    With initial obstructions removed and our presence firmly established within the minds of the locals from where we have breached into the Citadel, we have begun to create a fortified area with all due haste and build up an armed presence to show that, yes, we are here to stay.

    An open hand is but a closed fist a second in the past; a closed fist is but an open hand a second in the past. Both are the same coin spent by the same mind.

    Spy-Network:​

    The Emperor has a headache due to a minor Court Scandal. Three noble petitioners appeared, with all three wearing the same outfit, each accusing the other two of conspiring to make them look foolish, resulting in a minor trade war between their three Regions.

    The Marquess of Tessen is focused on her Flagship. Ker-Almur has begun to petition for a concerted effort to alleviate the ails and mistreatment of the Mutated citizenry within her Court.

    House Ulatarn is preparing for the marriage. Some guests are already trickling into Norqod!

    House Mirn is entertaining itself. Some of their less-notable members are intending to attend the wedding.

    Forge-Clan Vanar-Feer continues to build their Gravity-Forge.

    The Military continues drilling new recruits to its exacting standards.

    The Bureau For Imperial Civilian Logistics is focused on their contests.

    3-Point University breathes a sigh of relief as the current scandal has vanished from popular sight.

    The Followers of Light are building a large printing house to spread their reach and theology.

    The Merchant Guild has expelled a dozen members for unsanctioned utilization of guild secrets for personal benefit.

    The Union of Herbalists continues with human trials of a new organ transplant surgery.

    Stupendously Scholastic Scholars of Science are busy testing a Suspendium Artillery Rifle for the Military.

    The Adventurer Guild has been hired in good numbers to act as bodyguards for Ker-Almur while in Tessen. Their BlackBoards contracts to kill Ker-Almur have been taken up.

    Dirty Daggers are spying on Ker-Almur, watching his every movement. They continue to sway nobles in strategic positions with all means sensible.

    The Common People are excitedly talking about the upcoming wedding of Lady Silvia Jr. of House Dall and Lord Markus of House Ulatarn again, with not even a month of pretty bad sandstorms dampening the rising spirits.

    The Mutated are excitedly talking about the upcoming wedding of Lady Silvia Jr. of House Dall and Lord Markus of House Ulatarn again, with not even a month of pretty bad sandstorms dampening the rising spirits.

    • It wouldn't surprise me if Lady Tessen just points at the Pilgrims and tells Ker-Almur that she is good on that front.

    Also, interesting that this guy hasn't made any effort to contact us at all. You would think he would see us as natural allies.

    Is it? From what I can tell, we're still pretty small in comparison to the other religions. We're only big in the local area.
