  Serenity’s Titles

  Previous Supreme Existence

  You were the Supreme Existence in a previous incarnation, and can remember some of what came before. Your status also grants you the Ghost in the System title. This title is hidden from all but you.

  First of A Kind

  You are the first True Chimera and the first Essence Dragon. Your Paths shall shape the future of those who follow in your footsteps.

  Named

  Your Name is known and respected or feared. No other can bear this Name.

  Ghost in the System

  You bypass certain restrictions. This title is hidden unless you share it with another.

  Aspect Pathfinder

  As the first person to discover a new Aspect, Concept, and Affinity, you set the path for those who follow you on the road of Essence Magic. Creating new methods and applying methods from other magical schools is easier.

  Incarnate

  More than an Aspect, you are an Incarnate. Your Concept sets what the meaning of the Affinity you Incarnate does and does not mean. Your Incarnate will always be a part of you, and you will always be a part of it.

  As an Incarnate, you are not capable of combining or otherwise altering this Affinity.

  There cannot be more than one Incarnate for an Affinity at a time, as no two people will ever have identical Conceptions of an Affinity.

  Lord

  You are recognized as the ruler of a Settlement. This comes with certain rights as long as you are within the Settlement or interacting with people who are identified as belonging to the Settlement. This Title will be removed if you are no longer the Lord of a Settlement.

  DeathLord

  You have a high enough combined Death Affinity, Concept, and Aspect to qualify to rule a Necropolis.

  Tyche’s Mark

  You have been marked by Lady Luck. Interesting things will happen around you. They may be good or bad.

  This Curse removes your Luck and Luck % attributes and suppresses all Luck attributes that would affect you (directly or indirectly). Instead, Luck is in flux around you and unlikely events are more likely to occur when you are nearby.

  Worlds’ Friend

  Multiple worlds have declared you an ally. Others who are strongly tied to those worlds may sense a kinship with you. This may affect the reaction of other worlds or their servants.

  Reaper of Souls

  Death is not the end, at least not for many. You guide those who have died and lost their way on to their next destination.

  The Fall of Zon

  Group Quest - Order’s Guild

  No Time Limit

  Failure Condition: Quest will fail if no strong center to rebuild from remains

  Requirement: None

  Zon has been shrinking for the entire lifetime of the Voice. While it was slow at first, often unseen, it has continued and accelerated in recent centuries. Only one major civilization remains, centered on the ancient city of Zenith. Several outlying areas are also strong, such as the Duchy of Lowpeak, The Mountain’s Crest, Heavenfall, and Celestials’ Rest.

  Guildmaster Tirmanak Oathbinder believes that Zenith will fall within the century, taking most of the civilization of Zon with it.

  Find and counter the cause of this decay, reversing it and making Zon grow once more.

  Success Condition: An expanding native population and settlement area, leading to an increase in Zon’s Tier. Direct assistance from the Voice will invalidate this quest.
