Honestly, that feels like it is at least a 4 dot rite. And it missing a Symbol. I recommend Hunger. It is the Eater of Names after all.

It is okay. Thank you for another Quest....

[FallenEco]

I second that. I really should have said that before....

I had a thought about a somewhat heretical character, but the design is still rough. Well Bred and a prodigy, she was accepted into the Heptegram. She successfully intiates into Sorcery soon after. The catch is, she can't tell anyone that because she has yet to exalt, so she 'washes out' after the year. She does return eventually...when her "best friend" (read girlfriend) has a bit of a meltdown due to her family being practically wiped out in the Battle of Futile blood. That is also when Ragara Isfrit takes the Second Breath.

Twisted Banes. Sure the Contagion can mess with your powers, but it can also twist your weaknesses. Anyone messing with it may destroy the very benefits you are dealing by accident. If they do, you may never be able to restore the Contagion to have the effect it does. The Huntsman will return to full strength, the sun will burn and Infrastructure will function again. The only way to work in certainty is to ensure no one messes with the balance. If the Contagion spreads, that only increases the zone of potential safety. The mysteries of these changes should be handled delicately, preserved until...

It does feel like an ability that is not handed out lightly. Tiring it to a rite certainly removes that issue...

Umm...I meant the Nibiru but was really tired and had been reading the Temple of Silence write up...sorry.

Why doesn't Hunter have a Homebrew Hub thread?

We could just say that tier 3 is offlimits. Or that each their must be purchased separately and in order. Plus, the maximum effective Sekhem level is already 5 and require Blood potency 10. At what point do Arisen lose access to tier 3?
Plus Utterances often require certain actions; I remember the earthquake one required you walk around the perimeter of the area that would be effected (at least city sized).

Sidenote: They definitely weren't founded before the first Turn. Even the experts learned about Utterences from the Sha (except maybe the Deceived)...

I had an idea on how they could show up in Age of Azar without completely twisting away from 'the secret truth', briefly touched upon here.

The basics of it is that Apep gets closer to waking up, it reaches out, touching the souls of people in it's restless dreams. Not enough to Forge a new Herald, but soon those touched begin to here Whispers. They gather, organise and (likely with help from the Temple of Silence) ultimately reject the idigam (airing with it's imprisonment). But during that time, things are a tad more...choatic. Almost a civil war sort of ideal; they don't know who...

Silly question; are we going to revisit how Hunter Endowments for Era Conspiracies work with an eye toward the proposed method for 2E?
I liked the new approach and felt it made Endowments more distinct from regular merits.

Edit: On the subject of Hunters, the homebrew groups should be linked on the first page. I have a small list of the ones mentioned in the google doc and noticed some others that might be applicable.

Listed in doc (Not including Ascending Ones)

• The Legacy of Gilgamesh
• Seeds of the Named Flower
• Cult of Sutek
• Teeth of the Crocodile God[*

(Sekhem) Ritual Sorcery is explicitly off limits to Vampires, Sin-Eaters, Arisen and others with an imbalance of Life and Death. This is a sticking point for me. Perhaps give them a bonus supernatural merit instead....

Lodge Sorcery means we need to know Mother Rats's Influences.

[FallenEco]

I think there may well be a mention of this in DE2, with the Begotten claiming to be the gods or their hosts....

If you don't mind me asking, what are the current ideas on the gamelines that don't have (and won't receive anytime soon) official material for the era/region?

• Geists could be perceived as Akhs and Sin-Waters as 'mini' pharaohs (houses for these 'honoured dead) but the concept is not only heretical but arguably anachronistic (since the akhs moving outside their tomb is apparently from the 12th Dynasty; though if the Bound was the 'tomb'...).
• The Unchained and the God-Machine represent something interesting here; Irem's legacy is mostly Sekhem Sorcery and Neithian Infrastructure which both

I am less comfortable coming up with MtC Relics than I should love for my love of the gameline. The quick and dirty version I have ATM works like so:

• The Hand of Thoth (3 dot Text Relic)
• A repository of knowledge and secrets to reveal the Lifeless and Deathless who desecrate Ma'at
• Cost: 3 Willpower
• Effect: It may act as a sufficient source of research on it's own to study the Lifeless and Deathless, as well as their minion though limited to only what has ever been written down (ever, so far), as the knowledge is drawn from the scroll of ages. This does not translate the text. Furthermore

Possible but unlikely and I can't think of any thematically appropriate myth right now.Honestly, it could be a recent attempt, sparked by old prophecies of the Sothic Turn to 'raise the dead'.

Or maybe someone tried in the interval between turns. I'd rather have them as a playable option than not.
