Action 1: Religious Improvements
Jannah’s final commandment was thus:
>“Across the Great Sea, the old stepwells still stand. Their lacquer is chipped, and their walls slick with algae, but the ancestral waters remain. Unworshipped, unheeded, neglected! Yet still. they remain. They wait, through all depredation--for you. Go now, my children. Remind the people of the customs they have forgotten. Teach them of our ways. And in time they too shall join us in the eternal light of the balance.”
>Based out of the Holy Forge, the Order of Jannah is formed with the purpose of maintaining and expanding Tarnish religion in faraway lands.
Action 2: Better Navigation
The rise of alloying materials brings forth a stream of pilgrims to the Holy Forge. With them comes diverse ores from across the countryside, brought as offerings or potential business agreements. One otherwise unassuming rock reveals its nature when accidentally dropped. The clumsy acolyte notices that it spins gently on the floor, coming to rest in the same orientation each time. The meager scraps of this ore that were offered are quickly identified and sequestered away for further study.
Not long after, members of the Order of Jannah begin offering their services as navigators. Their methods are cloaked in ritual and deception, but the results are inarguable. Even on a cloudy night, an Order navigator can steer a ship true. They become a mainstay aboard Tarnish trade ships almost overnight.
>Better Navigation 2
NM: Jannah passes peacefully in the center of the Holy Forge, surrounded by her many children and attendants. It is said that her body remains pristine even after her death, free from rot or decay by her divine heritage. The monks of the forge clad her body in her ceremonial armor and inter it within a golden sepulcher somewhere within the labyrinthine corridors of the forge. To this day, it is said that acolytes still catch glimpses of her shining armor along the complex’s hall late at night.
>Hail Jannah! Crusader, Bronze-giver, Swordswoman, Forge-mistress! We pray that your holiness purifies our hearts and vanquishes all evil. May we honor you with our craft, our deeds, and our piety. Hail!
