RATATOSKR
Years ago, you recieved a charter from the United Empire, and were officially made a member of the newly christened Trade Company! Your goal was to seek fortune wherever it may be found in this strange land...of course, through force of arms, if the natives failed to cooperate.
But now things are different. You no longer work for the Empire, but for your homeland of Columbia -- and to a lesser extent, the people you've come to associate here in Jambudvipa. With your legion of slave workers, you are ready to bring the 'people' of this land to heel and make them better serve your country.
What are you here for? Riches, knowledge, recognition. Your destiny is to carve a path through these savage lands, and to accomplish something that will make you known. The ascent to glory is never easy, but you're confident you will reach those lofty heights.
You'll reach the top, or die trying.

START
Your meeting with the Emperor was less than fruitful...but you can salvage this situation. You'll just have to find your glory elsewhere.
Servants and dignitaries of the court wander to and fro through the gilded halls -- it seems there's a party of some sort going on? In the dining hall cabinets of finely-crafted porcelain dishware and sculptures line the walls, and several of the hallways feature prominent portraits of the royal family.
To the NORTH appears to be the THRONE FOYER.
To the SOUTH is the exit to the CAPITAL CITY OF AGRA.
Re: START
Okay, so, Nafuna likes to design her games so that even small choices can explode and affect others as well as ourselves. Let's try to minimize damage.
Seems like we can schmooze with some nobles or venture outside.

Hi! I wanted to ask about applying as an intern. Do you think you could help me out? It's always been my dream to work as a dignitary of the esteemed Emperor's court.

CITY GATES
Guards stand watch at the towers, and on either side of the gates' ground level. Caravans are checked as they pass in and out.
Atop the gates is a gigantic sculpture depicting a vile green monkey, skewered on the tusks of a garish yellow-green boar. It is evidently supposed to symbolize the defeat of the rebellion three years ago, which definitely happened. The rebel scum is no longer a threat, at all.
There is no war in Jambudvipa.
To the WEST is WEST CITY.
To the NORTH is MARKET STREET.
To the SOUTH is the SHRINE OF LIGHT.

It'd probably look beautiful if light were shining through the sphere, but the canopy is pretty thick here.
To the SOUTH is the SHRINE OF FIRE.
To the EAST is the SHRINE OF THE SKY.
To the NORTH are the CITY GATES.
To the EAST is...a LEOPARD COLONY? You think you heard that wrong. Maybe it's LEPER COLONY? Who can even really tell. You can probably try to go to either and it won't even matter, at all. They're basically the same thing.

So
because I am more exhausted than I hoped I'd be and won't make the rest of the gameI am just going to assume that Sol has decided screw it, it's probably safer for everyone if he just goes back to the Fire Shrine and quietly makes more metal charms on an anvil off to the side.Not that big one, the stone circle and Sekhmet's situation have him wary of what would happen if he went anywhere near that.
But yeah, just gonna sit here for a while making charms for Fire Bro.]
SHRINE OF THE EARTH
The reconstruction and restoration of the network and shrines, as well as the patronage of POUSAN is symbolized by a statue of a blue horse trampling a leopard on a raised platform in the shrine's center.
Attendants to the shrine hurry about, going about their various rituals.
To the SOUTH is the village of MEERUT.
To the EAST is the SHRINE OF THE SEA.
To the WEST is the SHRINE OF FIRE.
To the NORTH is the SHRINE OF THE SKY.

There are no exits.
You are going to die.
Do you pray to Varuna?
no subject
He's struggling for a minute, at least, trying to get back to the surface.
But he rapidly realizes he's been tricked. Of course he has. Why did he let his guard down fuck fuck
But he's... starting to pray. Ohhh is he praying. He's a pious man. He's not afraid to ask the god to forgive him for his trespassing.
He needs to help his team. He needs to.
Please.]
