A rumor spreads through the realm: Ascension.
At the beginning, there is no cult.
No Ascended.
Only influence - public and visible - and loyalty - private and hidden.
One player believes the Ascended should exist.
Whether that belief becomes reality depends entirely on persuasion, politics, and control.
How It Works
Players openly invest, trade, and withdraw influence to gain leverage. Influence determines who controls the Council - and those at the top gain temporary authority to:
•Investigate alignments
• Strip influence
• Assign reputation
• Block recruitment
If the Ascended emerge, recruitment happens in secret - but it is never automatic. Those approached may join… or publicly expose the attempt.
There are no eliminations.
No night phases.
Everyone plays until the end.
Victory
After the final Council:
• Influence is counted.
• Loyalties are revealed.
• The fate of the realm is decided.
Will the realm remain free?
Will a cult rise to power?
Or will the first believer stand alone?
Power is visible.
Loyalty is hidden.
Belief can become reality.
