Church Crown:

• Effects: Stability, pilgrim roads, relics quarantined; public health impetus → Victorian Soot & Sanitation seed.

• PM/Mo Seeds: Ethical doctrine checks rampant experimentation; more spies.

Relic Crown:

• Effects: Strong engines, uneasy populace; Conclave ascendant; Patent 0 precursor emerges early.

• PM/Mo Seeds: Faster tech, worse blowback; Followers hide in labs.

Twin‑Light Compromise:

• Effects: Peace is work; miracles possible; crises too; people believe again.

• Long Tail: You give later eras the vocabulary to fight back—UC cites your laws.

Nabour Outcomes:

• Lute Calms the Beast: trade opens (Victorian Ketran screw‑frigates boom).

• Exploit the Beast: minion dispersal (PM Chimera lore roots).

• Free Lorian: Beast sleeps; a legend of mercy fuels UC centuries later.
