Economy: 10
Faith: 6
Intrigue: 4
Actions:
1. Faith: Convert Region 15 to Forever Self (from Minority to Plurality)(Using the bonus from Senkar Forum (+1), supporting the conversion through BRG-owned media support (+2))
- The efforts of Senkar's philosophers to spread their ways continue ever onward in effort to reach the majority of the populace.
2. Faith: Convert Region 4 to the Forever Self (establishing a minority)(Supporting the conversion through BRG-owned media support (+2))
- With the matters of state finally taking a backseat, the followers of Forever Self are at last able to send a proper entourage to expound on the virtues of the Forever Self in detail aboard other aerostats.
3. Intrigue: Theft - steal Treasure from UNC (Spending 1 treasure (+1))
- Subaction: Tenfold In Blood - Claim 1 EMP rep if the theft is successful
- While the legitimate Courts of the United Houses are a major force concerned with maintaining the economic might necessary to keep up the lavish lifestyle of their City, they are by no means the only player working to uphold the interests of Senkar. A growing cartel of criminals and racketeers are going out their way to expand their reach out from the depths of Senkar, hired by powerful benefactors in the high towers of City of Wonders to impress the Imperial Court by taking action against its enemies.
4. Intrigue: Dirty Secrets - Trade 1 Renown for 1 BRG favor
- Seeing the ever-growing need of Basu-Rahman Group for newsworthy scandals, the High Court uses the opportunity to build up their base of favors with the organization by exposing the unethical experiments and tax evasion of some highly-placed scientists. The fallout of the resulting scandal may scuff the image of Senkar as a flawless jewel of the system, but the results are still a net positive for Lord Speaker.
5. Economy: Buyout TP1 of Region 89 (Spending 1 treasure (+1), distance penalty to Mekhala (-3))
- While the acquisition of UHS' textile trade by foreign power without official mandate has riled up the decision-makers of City of Wonders, the potential trade war has been deemed too much of a liability, and as such the United Houses have instead focused on acquiring the materials needed by their new colony.
Non-actions:
Permanent: Support conversion of any owned regions to The Forever Self. Contest all other faiths. Contest all unsupported buyouts.
A) Research and Development - UHS ask BRG to create an experimental artifact to bolster their economy for 2 BRG favors and 1 BRG rep
