When you dedicate yourself to completing a mission on behalf of the Spirits, state what you set out to do:

• Defend _ _ _ _ _ _ _ from the danger that threatens them.
• Discover the truth of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and present it to the Spirits.
• Slay _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , an enemy of the Faction.

Then choose up to two boons:

• Directions from the spirits to an important location.
• A freedom from sleep.
• The Spirits protect you from one cause of harm (acid, blades, or fire, for example).
• A mark of your allegiance to the Spirits.
• Senses that can tell Alter from the mundane.
• The Sprits may reach in otherwise protected areas.

Humility is always required of you when you undertake a quest—you are forbidden from boasting of your exploits. The Grandfater will then tell you what additional restriction is required of you to maintain these boons:

• Abstinence (forbidden: the vices of the living).
• Austerity (forbidden: temporal wealth in any form).
• Hospitality (required: comfort to those in need, no matter who they

are).

• Judgment (forbidden: suffering an evil creature to live).
• Respect (required: daily rituals of respect for the dead).
