- You can only be on one Journey at a time, but they can be paused and resumed at a later date.
- New Journeys in this update:
- Hunt in your Capital: Like the “Find Mortals” interaction and the “Hunt” scheme merged into one, with less clicking necessary
- Learn new Abilities: Look for a mentor who can teach you new Disciplines, Arts, or Numina. If your Coterie members accompany you, they will also learn the ability
- Learn to Master your Beast: Learn that Golconda exists
- Make Peace with your Beast: Walk the path of Golconda... very slowly
- The Suspire: The final test to achieve Golconda
- Reveal yourself to the Vatican: Trigger the Inquisition and all its followup events early. THIS IS A BAD BAD BAD IDEA. (...Unless?)

- Find Hiding Place
- Find Lair
- Pack Training

- Added new Court Positions for Camarilla members
- Camarilla setup for 1510 (Inner Circle, Justicars, Red List)

## Events

## Gameplay
- Crown Authority rework
- Crown authority isn't tied to innovations anymore. Passing higher levels require more prestige and passing some stat checks instead.
- The AI will try to stay at a Crown Authority level that makes sense rp wise. For example, Werewolves will stay at Low, while Road of Kings characters aim for Absolute.
- Crown Authority 0 : Malus to vassal tax/levies, bonus to vassal opinion and limit.
- Crown Authority 1 : Lesser versions of the above
- Crown Authority 2 : Mostly a neutral medium.
- Crown Authority 3 : Ducal and Kings Vassals bordering (land only) an attacker will join their liege in defense. Malus to vassal opinion and limit.
- Some realms start with an higher Crown Authority level at the start, representing a greater than usual cohesion
- Crown Authority 3 doesn't forbid vassals from waging any wars at all anymore. CA2 still disallows vassals wars if you don't have a hook though.

- Landed characters can now become acclaimed knights

- Theurgy can now be learned by anyone who doesn't consider Magick a crime. The crime restriction is ignored by faiths with Abrahamic roots (Road of Heaven, Ashirra, Blood Gnosticism, Hunters, Constantinians)
- Psychic powers can now only be learned by Mortals or Hunters
- Game rules:
- Added a game rule for adjusting Journey costs (multipliers: 0x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x)
- Added a game rule for lifting the restrictions on the "Reveal yourself to the Vatican" Journey
- Forgiving characters can't "forgive" the hooks on their herd, ghouls, thralls, and dreamers anymore
- Being astray faith doesn't matter to factions modifiers anymore. Being hostile matters less. #Only affects characters, not counties factions. Evil faith still matters as much.
- Being of a different culture almost doesn't matter to characters for factions anymore
- Fabricate hook is now quite a bit harder to pull off
