Ambarxë's Rest

“Sir! Ambarxë has put down her roots and begun the Long Sleep.”

You heave a sigh of relief. The most prominent of the local Unfallen has long been a thorn in your side, so to speak- always urging caution and consultation over decisive action.

“So where has she settled?” you ask. “The Moss Swamps? The Flame Forests-?”

“Uh- the planetary Senate chamber, Sir,” stammers the Aide. “And she’ll start dropping Fire-Seeds within two cycles...”



EJECT: Do the Unfallen really expect your officials to host a huge pyrogenic tree for the next forty thousand years!? Ambarxë will be “replanted” somewhere more convenient, and the stubborn Seconds persuaded that their first loyalty must be to the society you are building, not to their ancient rituals.

  • Reach Ecstatic Approval on [planet] in 10 turns
  • Gain DENDRITIC SCIENCE INSTITUTE [+10 INDUSTRY on Fertile, +10 SCIENCE on Temperate] A laboratory where Unfallen Seconds can cooperate with other races to pioneer biological solutions to engineering problems. This is harmony in action!



HALLOW [Lumeris Population only]: Ambarxë’s resting place is drawing crowds of awed visitors... and a local Lumeris consortium is turning a sweet profit selling transport and dubious relics to the pilgrims! Maybe this Unfallen thirst for ancient wisdom can work to your advantage, once a suitably grand shrine is constructed...

  • Reach 150 Industry on [planet] in 10 turns
  • +1 INFLUENCE/population and +75% TRADE VALUE on [planet] 




HARMONISE: Perhaps more Seconds could be encouraged to commence their Long Sleep in your Empire’s administrative centres, just like Ambarxë. Your rule will be strengthened by their aura of majesty and contentment (although some interior redecorating may be required...)

  • Reach 2 Ecologist Laws in 10 turns
  • Gain +1 INFLUENCE on Unfallen pops
  • Gain +1 APPROVAL on Unfallen pops
  • -10 INDUSTRY on Systems for 10 turns

This is kinda funny! But do Unfallen have genders? 

Upvoted.

I thought they didn't- but the Unfallen hero biographies refer to "him" and "her," so I guess they do! Maybe it's just a matter of fashion or personal preference...

TBH, if I hadn't made my own submission, I'd have upvoted this one. Great job!

We'll give more time to accomplish the objectives, as well as harmonize (see what I did there?) the target of objective 2 (pop or system but not both), and the last option has an effect (the temporary thingy) that cannot be a reward; otherwise this is a pretty fun quest. :)

Thanks!! I wanted to capture the contrast between the stubborn, mystical Unfallen and the pragmatic, short-term focus of human players.

I'll edit out the terms that don't work.

To add to Ambarxe's world, I've added a thread in the Creations subforum- "Unfallen language- a beginner's guide." (It is the product of a lot of wiki-reading and caffeine.)
