We talk about revolutionary movements in Heliakon and the Illegitimate Children of Foolish Empires and the way that people organise in the face of terrible things. Our world becomes more fleshed out with the addition of further ways we stand against imperialism and colonialism. Definitely no parallels with the real world here.

We examine the Great Consociate Empire's Upright Doctrine and its support of the pseudo-scientific practice of psychomageiatism, a nonsense theory created to oppress the poor and justify the social standing of the wealthy.

And we delve into Weftenfray, the knot magic of the Halflings and how its intricate patterns hold the power to reshape the world (as well as the darker aspects of that mysterious practice).

Gods and godlings galore! A plethora of pagan powers are introduced in The Celestial Pantheon; twelve definitely gods and two maybe-kinda-sorta-nearly gods are all briefly described and discussed. From the Father of the Great Consociate, Gruvold to Gengolof the Great Scaletipper. From baker gods to bro gods.

We then take a deep dive into the highest reaches of society as we examine the Consociate Nobility. Their titles and duties and how the gamut from the very top down to those barely above the common-folk all fit into society.

Switching focus from the broad to the specific, we take a close look at just one family of Consociate nobles in Heliakon; the Khedia O’zeenasea. How position and the past have shaped them and how they, in turn, may shape the future.

Also Blood Farmers turn out to not be as nice as their name makes them sound.

Have a proper gander at some of the way our fantasy societies distribute and formulate propaganda and disinformation aimed at keeping their citizens in line and angry at someone else.

Marvel at the Society of Glass Vultures and their sneaky pursuit of distilled truth. Learn about the systems of education and art which propagate the philosophies of our imperial powers. Tremble at the oversize influence of the Bureau for the Propagation of Virtuous Principles!

We explore the changes the printing press and its publication of the very popular serzeyns are making to how news and ideas are distributed in Heliakon and beyond.
