There are other elder gods in the universe, and one in particular holds a fierce grudge against Nar-Sie: Ratvar, the Clockwork Justiciar. Am amalgamation of parts, steam, and cogs, Ratvar seeks nothing more than Nar-Sie's utter annihilation. Unfortunately, his exile to Reebe - a plane of complete nothingness - makes celestial warfare somewhat difficult. To these ends, he has enslaved mortals to do his bidding and ensure the downfall of the Geometer. | ||

'''''This | If you've had experience with the Nar-Sian cult, then you can think of the clockwork slab as Ratvar's equivalent of the arcane tome. However, the slab boasts superior portability and utility than the tome, although it's slightly larger and can't fit in pockets. All initial servants start with a clockwork slab and can create more through scripture (more on that later). | ||
The clockwork slab has five functions: | |||
* Recital, which utilizes scripture | |||
* Records, which displays important information including cultist count and construction value | |||
* Recollection, which displays an in-game documentation and tutorial | |||
* Repository, which displays all components in the slab (more on that) | |||
* Report, which allows discreet communication between all servants | |||
''Every servant should have a slab!'' Slabs are key to the success of Ratvar's agenda. | |||
== Components, Scripture, and CV == | |||
Ratvarian cultists don't sacrifice their own blood to use rituals. Instead, they use something called ''components''. In a literal sense, these are parts of Ratvar's body that have rusted and fallen free during his imprisonment. Despite this, the parts hold power on their own and are utilized by Ratvar's servants to power their rites - what they call ''scripture''. Scripture has multiple tiers; each tier is unlocked as the cult's power grows. For instance, the third tier is unlocked through having at least eight servants, 100 CV worth of structures, and three of a specific structure. | |||
There are five component types: | |||
* Belligerent eyes, which possess the power to focus on certain things and grant malevolent sentience | |||
* Vanguard cogwheels, which are almost indestructible and serve in protection | |||
* Guvax capacitors, which can manipulate the mind | |||
* Replicant alloys, which are very strong but can be melted and molded by force of will | |||
* Hierophant ansibles, which can send massive amounts of data in an instant | |||
Except for the first tier, most scripture consumes a certain amount of components of a certain type. These components are drawn directly from the slab, ''which generates components passively at a slow rate'', or from the global component storage accessed by tinkerer's caches. This storage can hold an infinite amount of components, and scripture will prioritize drawing from the storage before the slab's internal capacity is tapped. | |||
You might be wondering, "What's CV and why do we need 100 of it? Will it kill my children?" No, it won't, but it's still important. "CV" is the abbreviation for "Construction Value", which is gained by building Ratvarian structures or turfs. For instance, the tinkerer's cache (an extremely important structure) grants 10 CV. It is also granted by clockwork floors and walls - which are useful in their own right - and is a required threshold to gain more powerful scripture. | |||
