dominion -- God seats, thrones, and Author Writer office Dominion is a second God meter beside faith-fuel. It rises slowly from flock, worshippers, witnessed miracles, and time in your chapel or on a seat you hold. Neglect -- and Amara the Unmade -- can drain it. Unmade world pressure (0-100) rises when Creation politics tilt; check dominion when it climbs. How you play Type help dominion more for the full writeup. Parish soft power (help god) keeps solo Gods fed. Seats and thrones are scarce hard power -- one major plus one lesser. Empty major hubs accrue ambient hunger pressure until a God claims them. Angels at the Gate and Demons at the Mouth notice who holds those seats. How you climb 1. minister / miracle / judgment Parish loop (help god) 2. dominion check the meter, seats, and seat→throne ETA 3. consecrate Novice+ theurgy: mark your chapel (also eases belonging there) 4. claimseat Expert+ with enough Dominion: contest a realm hub 5. Hold the seat long enough (+ enough Dominion) -> throne (dominion shows hold progress + ~minutes left; ETA follows the world clock -- gm clock scale changes the estimate instantly; staff: gm throne) 6. founddomain <kind> at throned hub: demesne + lock Kind (help domain) Faith God seat tiers (player): Major: God Seat on Prime Earth (sewer holy ground), or Dream Threshold. Lesser: Reach elemental hubs (Cinder / Tide / Gale / Stone) -- Realm God of Fire, Water, Air, or Stone. Denied: Heaven Gate, Hell Mouth, Purgatory Waystation majors stay cast/plot-only (Host thrones, not episode pantheon). Author Writer office (cast / staff only): Chuck the Author (author_apex) or gm author test. Player Faith Gods never qualify -- no rewrite / unwrite endgame. Writer verbs (costs fuel + Dominion; Chuck conceal sleeps them): omen room portent (lingers for story beats) rewrite [here|near] soft room flavor overlay (map files untouched) writein <name> named prop with a time limit (alias: shape) mendpage [target] full vitals + clear clinic; not mid-bout (alias: mend) hush [self|name] soft who-list overlook for a while unwrite Grandmaster: erase rival claims / suppress Amara erase <name> Grandmaster: despawn non-essential NPC/item (never players, Echoes, or essential cast; alias: unmake) Chuck mantle event (immersion parity dress rehearsal): Rare foreshadow -> resume (Chuck reveals; Cadence runs Writer verbs via npc_do) -> optional bout vs Unmade shade -> aftermath (conceal again). Staff set gm chuckmantle mode hybrid for auto foreshadow/resume on pressure; bout stays staff-only unless start … full. Full staff runbook: help chuckmantle Quick: gm chuckmantle status|mode manual|hybrid|auto|start [now] [full]|bout|end Heaven seat (Gate of Radiance): While Chuck is the concealed cook, player God claims queue quietly. When Chuck wakes as the Author (revealed or mantle event), he foreshadows then unwrites rival claims / breaks holds -- mendpage restores the claimant (not deleted). Re-claim cooldown applies. Amara stays on her own lane. dominion abandon drops a seat you no longer want. Seat hubs (one contested seat per plane): Gate of Radiance (Heaven), Mouth of Torment (Hell), The Waystation (Purgatory), God Seat (Prime Earth -- hidden holy ground in the Lebanon sewers), Threshold of Sleep (Dream), and elemental Reach centers (lesser) -- Cinder / Tide / Gale / Stone hubs. Those Reach seats are how a God Mantle "rules" Fire or Tide politically; Cosmic Elementals are natives of the raw matter, not seat-holders (help elemental). Holding a Reach seat / throne grants thin elemental authority: stronger hub influence, softer hostile-plane weather for you on that Reach, and look text naming you Realm God of that Element. One major throne plus one lesser. realmhome prefers your throne hub after a death-kick (help vessel). Amara contests thrones on her plane.
