The contracts that manipulate the physical manifestations of the seasons are probably the same. Summer can still turn on the heat and winter can still freeze things etc.

The courts all have a 'spot/reveal *court emotion*' contract too. So that is an option. The rest...is trickier....

[FallenEco]

I'd lean towards no but not relevant right now.

If time travel is an option, we could just dump the players in any sparely populated area in history. Turns out the Conspiracy is a God Machine cult who've suborned 'chronological load bearing' Infrastructure. It is a tad more Demon the Descent than I'd like for a new group hook, but if you want to avoid slapping together future settings...

Not that I am aware of, sorry.
I think they came from an earlier draft of 2e, so numbers are...off, but we did get experience costs there so we can make educated guesses to where they should be. This makes no other assumptions about how to rate those contracts.

Harmony of Portals, based on the aforementioned cost, is a Royal Contract. (4 xp)
Hundred Steps would be a Common Contract. (3 xp)
Heart's Desire would be better off as a Freehold/Directional Court only Merit. (1 xp)
Variable dot contracts depend on rating...Directions Grace would be Common if you got...

It was not. It is a supplement that has no connection to the Kickstarter....

I think something like a pandemic or Contagion outbreak would work well for the feel you are trying to invoke without crossing the overused tropes of Zombies or trying to add aliens.

Lots of death, paranoia and tribalism can occur if you trap people in a quarantine zone without adequate support for a n extended period of time.
A disease that kills can leave ghosts without zombies. Heck you could even have it so if someone survives, they undergo the Divergence. A deadly disease that creates insane mutants out of those who survive it is reason enough for Conspiracies to be interested...

Iirc, LDI are supposed to be the modern equivalent of Parangelia Seth (Fall of Isireion, DEC 22).

I'm inclined to say #4 is closest. It doesn't 'catch' so much as 'marks' the locals as 'legimate' listeners...
Actually, I'd say it might effect the Hive, rather humans and Begotten. It is unclear, but that just means when the Refrain comes to town, the Brood has a mystery to solve....

Ribhri just screams Doyen...orbital bombardment seems to be their go to,.. I know it is just their role, but I keep asking myself...how many worlds did they Kill out of fear and jealousy?
Because it is more than 1 in 10 of the worlds in ÆON including Earth. Assuming they had nothing to do with the Hexers or Zaphs.

Plus Relics, like other birthrights are suppose to get more powerful as you go up in tier. Origin-Hero work on roughly the same scale, Demigod-Immortal and God-Divine are supposed to bring changes to how they function. Something to remember

Okay, that sounds interesting enough that I'd like to know more. Suggestions for appropriate reading material please?

1. I would lean on the idea that Atlantis was 'destroyed by magic' to the point that it's mundane equivalent was swallowed whole into a Terra Incognita, but I would have access points/touchstones in all three of your listed places. Probably include Antarctica as a reference to it's 1st edition incarnation. Also any place strongly associated with the 'sea people' of the bronze age collapse.
2. That sounds like a

Note to self; "Grant wisdom to/Save (npc name) from their Harrowed Awkening" is a valid Obsession. Still might not be possible and will get you in trouble with the Arcane Law.

Also the next step in the 'Crown of Roses' project has a better chance of creating a Walker or a Harrowed than succeeding.
