GOD 2024 E4 specials

This page lists things that are likely to affect GOD crew, because they're special for this event and change how we normally do things.

This doesn't try to cover everything in the Winds of Fortune: sometimes player ask for information about conjunctions, or about how certain titles or opportunities work. They're things we might be able to help with, but they're not covered here because they don't fundamentally change how GOD processes work.

General event information

This is the Autumn Equinox 386YE. This event, dusk is 19:00–20:00. Bows and crossbows cannot be used in Anvil after 20:00, and cannot be used on quests that start after 20:00.

If you have plot wiki access, see also Ref Info Autumn 386, which covers a similar but different set of topics.

Character packs

Potions and similar

• Shining like fire: Shimmering Echoes: Any mine that was enchanted with Revelation of the Jewel's Sparkling Heart during 2023 E4 will provide a single deepstone each event throughout 2024 in addition to other benefits. Green iron = warstones, weltsilver = bloodstones, tempest jade = spellstones, orichalcum = heartstones. If someone thinks they should have one, try to find out if they had that ritual cast on them at 2023 E4; if investigating that doesn't explain what's going on, escalate.

Resource production and character income

• Broken Sword: Serpent's Curse: Urizeni congregations will be getting one fewer liao this event.
• Say her name: Cold Winters: Anyone with a resource in Sermersuaq will get an extra 22 rings of income this season.
• Beneath mithril spires: Asavean Envy: Imperial fleets trading with the Commonwealth will have a one rank advantage so will get slightly more income this season.
• Hyenas and herbs: The Price of Doing Business: Imperial fleets trading with Sarcophan ports will have a one rank advantage so will get slightly more income this season.
• A victory for diplomacy - Suranni Trade - fleets visiting Robec have a -1 penalty to effective rank and receive 2 bottles of Kobol’s Vigour in place of the 30 rings of luxuries
• The tale that speaks to your heart - war in the west - a standard imperial fleet without any upgrades or enchantments that takes part in the adventure in the west will receive 96 rings, 3 doses of liao, an ingot each of Asavean orichalcum, tempest jade, and iridescent gloaming, and two bottles of Frygtede øglebryg, aka Oilybrag.
• The tale that speaks to your heart - war in the west - Any trading vessel visiting the port of Zemeh will trade there as if it were one rank higher.
• Authority and acceptance – Red Sails - Imperial fleets gain one rank when trading with Sumaah, the Commonwealth and the Sarcophan Delves.
• EmpireWiki:Roaring plenty:
  • Every fleet that took part in the expedition Into the Unknown receives four crowns and a windborn pearl.
  • If someone wants to swap their windborn pearl they must do it either before time-in or (if they pick their character pack up late) before they take their character pack into the field. If they do, take the ribbon and physrep, and give them ten random resin resources in return (ambergelt, green iron, &c., not ilium!).

Synod votes

(Noted here because they're printed on character packs even if they're not things that go in character packs)

• Broken Sword: Serpent's Curse: Urizeni congregations will be getting two fewer votes this event.
• Part of this together: Look to the Way: Priests with congregations who preach to the Way will get two extra Synod votes this event.

Character resources

• The first shot – Stridings End - any character who is a member of a striding that changes to a steading can take a new resource in Miaren, Hercynia or Brocéliande without paying the normal charge. Check the character page and look the bands (coven/sect/banner) the character is part of. The band page should list an archetype of "Steading"; check with the players and take them at their word that the archetype was recently changed from a Striding. Record the new resource as "No charge applied".
