Ascendency Players

Ascendency · Deity Sponsors

Twelfth-floor sponsors of deities, now compelled to personally pilot their gods whenever summoned.

Story so far

Before The Emergency Action Item, ascendency players could choose whether to pilot their sponsored deities when those gods were summoned off The Twelfth Floor, and could choose to appear as themselves rather than in the deity's designed form.

The approved half of Sir Ferdinand's proposal ends both privileges immediately. Attendance is now mandatory. All deities appear as designed and are piloted by their sponsors. And any summons currently in progress where the pilot stayed back "because she was being a cowardly little chicken" are retroactively corrected — a jab aimed squarely at whoever sponsors Eris. Baroness Victory tells Carl the Adjutants never saw it coming and the AI claims it's out of its hands.
