Interlude
The Winter Solstice winds of fortune will come out shortly before the next event (which is April 21st, 2017). However, there are a number of significant things arising from the Autumn Equinox that may affect some players' Downtime actions - primarily effects on personal resources - and we know there are a number of sanctioned events planned over winter where players may be influenced by these occurrences.
As a temporary measure we'll be outlining, and offering some context for, these various effects on this page. In each case, there will be further information in the Winter Solstice Winds of Fortune - once they're ready, they'll replace this content.
As always, these are quick OOC summaries to explain effects such as large-scale enchantments and curses. We'll cover all these and more when we start to present the Winds of Fortune for next event.
Warfare
As usual, players who control a military unit have several options to choose between. Anyone who chooses the option to support an army will be able to review the in-character orders given by each general, as well as learning where each Imperial army is deployed over the downtime period.
One significant change to the way military units work has come into effect this downtime. The Imperial Senate has given the Quartermaster General of the Imperial Armies the power to control where the military unit#Imperial guerdon applies and that power has been employed. Until and unless the Quartermaster amends the list only military units supporting the following armies will receive a share of the guerdon:
- The Wolves of War
- The Fist of the Mountain
- The Winter Sun
- The Gryphon's Pride
This means that a military unit that supports any other army, or that chooses to defend a fortification or assist a special project such as a spy network will receive nothing other than their standard 18 rings personal incomet, and will not be counted in the guerdon calculation.
Whether an action is eligible for a share of the Imperial guerdon or not should be obvious from the downtime system.
