    Mark a Stress to divert the conversation toward something completely irrelevant. Roll 1d4 and change the conversation to the following:

    1. A festival that originated to distract from a king's evil deeds

    2. A fruit forced to extinction because it was making commonfolk too intelligent

    3. The existence of rainbows being proof that the sky is just a big painting

    4. Birds are arcane entities used by the High Houses to spy on the commonfolk.

Reactions

  • No Hope for Humanity

    A PC attempting to move the conversation back on track must make a Presence Reaction roll. On a failure, they lose a Hope and the Theorist continues with their rant.
