Interesting, so the divine drop insight would speed up our development later on, probably isn't as useful currently as four grade nine materials, but it is worth keeping in mind for the future.

We already know all the basically above the major factions of Warhammer, it is assumed he told us the basics about them already.
"There is nothing special in your solar system, the asteroid belt has many valuable metals and the moon has some gasses that might be useful but you already knew that"
What roth said, he already told you of the major powers of the galaxy.

we got the nechron pyramid, a god-daughter, a friendly mercenary god, and our own empire with cultivators. All in all we're well set for the short to medium term.

But is any of it a dragon? Think logically.

dragon is cool. but god-daughter is cooler

I was not really being serious, but looking at stuff more seriously, anything the keku made probably shouldn't count towards stuff like what they got from their solar systems, this would include Shitaku, Kuvara and all cultivators, those were made by keku, not found by keku.
Of the things our planet got, I would say the biggest two are the pyramid and the nascent portals that would lead to the apocalypse, with Oketekru as a follow-up, but not exactly the same because he was drawn here by keku because he looks for worshippers, and thus have presence in a lot of places.
This made me curious if the hive mind have religion.
Imagine being both your own god and worshippers at the same time that would be fun. And make that other hivemind even scarier. Wouldn't it be horrifying if the overmind became a god?

Thinking about it, it probably is already.

All interesting answers, though what I meant was if the larger factions Okertatu has told us about had their own gods. For example the Ork or the Tyranid.

I kind of hope Kuvara get the keku and flight domains before we ascended, having some divine insights backed by kuvara sounds nice, even before we see the boosted keku pillar this turn.
I am guessing Shitaku is claiming the cultivation domain now, considering one of the divine insights called him god of cultivation, and his own authority over it (having the ability to share it).
I suspect we may have had a shot at the keku domain, but we are practically granting it to Kuvara.

Okertaku QaA compository.
Seeing as things quieted down some, I've gathered up all of the questions and answers (I've also added two new ones at the bottom).
As a reminder this QnA is still ongoing so if you want to you can still ask questions.
I'm also removing the limit of question per person, I have some extra free time and I like doing this, just try not to overwhelm me with questions.
Our regular schedule will hopefully be sometime in the middle of next week when I would hopefully finish turn 13 (well we would still have the war in the warp section but still).
"And the few times such numbers are reached it is by dedicatedly summoning and bindings over centuries"
"The tear of realty being turn into a stable breach is not something that happens"
"I was already planning on teaching Kuvara how to strengthen the barrier between dream and realty but I doubt it would do anything at all to change the outcome, too much power is being diverted to tearing it open."

So implications are that this is an assassination...
I kind of suspected for a while the chaos gods did the plague to assassinate Shitaku as an alpha plus psyker who they were suppressing.
First time I suspect the apocalypse itself is another assassination attempt against us.
I'm pretty sure I commented before about how they didn't know shikatu existed until like 300~ years after he invented cultivation.
The plague was just Nurgle pulling a Nurgle, hell it wasn't even Nurgle himself but one of his daemons.

It seemed kind of odd the plague disappeared as soon as Shitaku healed one person, like, the timing seemed absurd, wasn't that also after he had tribulation.
I'll be honest it's a complete coincide, when I wrote that, it was just another feather in the tragedy of Shikatu early life.
He worked so hard and invested so much to heal the thing that took his family and, in the end, it wasn't needed.
Also, the tribulation doesn't mean they knew about him, it is mostly of an automatic process or well, was.
It's likely the first two tribulations would have been harder for shikatu if the four knew about him but because they didn't, he faced the automatic response.
Edit:
He probably lost some favor with Nurgle for that, when they figured out how things happened but its hard to say more than that and are unlikely to know about it (or recognize him).

Also Uri, keep in mind that if we do get a name, we totally going to try to use the death insight to permanently kill him, than again, if he is a major daemon, we will probably try it anyway if we ever saw him.

well, it should feel somewhat satisfying that the technique he created DID help with the second coming of the plague.
what was the tribulation's purpose though? Supposedly Cultivation is something new, so it couldn't have been a counter specifically for it.
Was there some similar "magic/psychic" powers in the past that worked in comparable ways?

Imagine the cultists.
How did he do it? It should have held him for a month at least, developing a cure!
Than again, I think our religion would probably capitalise on the disease ending after we healed a single person to say Shitaku totally was the one to stop it, proven when his students healed it when it returned.
Maybe it worked like the bureaucracy divine insight, we broken a divine edict.
Kind of curious what it was though, we also know they can strike at us only when we go through ascension, so it was probably pretty niche edict.
Maybe it was a mortal shell not get closer to the gods without their support or something, to prevent their servants from trying to become daemon princess without them.
It was a counter against people stepping closer to divinity.
More specifically, it was a counter against what the shamans did to birth the emperor, a surprise lighting bolt in that ritual would have seen it fall through.
And cultivation falls squarely under that.
That is exactly how it worked. (also your guess for the edict you broke was pretty spot on)
They did, you got a lot of new fanatics that day.

interesting.
it also implies that while the Emperor does not have cultivation, his (starting) condition after that ritual might be somewhat comparable.
One has to question why the tribulation is only so strong though. I suppose even the chaos gods have a limit on how much power they can throw into the Wake from the Warp out of nowhere?
And ironically, while the tribulation has still a big chance of crippling or killing us, cultivation turns it into a potential source of power in that we use it to become stronger. for the first three tribulations at least we use it to strenghten the dantian, the pillars and the core after all. Then again, without it many more people could get closer to divinity. It IS thinning the numbers, considering even the easiest tribulations currently only have less than 5% of success, probably closer to 3%, and we've been told 4th step and 5th step will be FAR lower than that.
Which makes me wonder... when will we ever get our first NON-Shikatu 4th or 5th step. Assuming we Manage to have Shikatu reach the 5th... but I think he should make it.
We have time and resources to throw at it. By the time he's ready to try we'll likely have insights and core insights to help, possibly artifacts, Kuvara and Keku prayers to help, plenty of self-rez powers...

Our daughter would probably use the pyramid to ascend next.
