Identiﬁcation:

Members of the Song of Revelation do not signify or adorn themselves in any form of identiﬁcation toward the covenant. They do not set out to recruit for numbers, and will only tell you about the covenant if they believe you have a knowledge, idea, or artifact that can make an addition to their great data-circuit. The only form of identiﬁcation is a small metal piece located near the spine of the member. Non-members would not associate this with anything of importance without knowing the reason or function it serves. Members sometimes try to hide it, but most do not mind it being shown.

Assets:

The data-circuit is not explained to non-members, and not even a single member has full knowledge of it. Some say that it has always been. Others believe that it was created by another civilization prior to the Ninth World. Whatever the case may be, the data-circuit is an ever ﬂowing ocean of knowledge. All members of the Song of R evelation are granted an unique implant to access the data- circuit. The implant usually presents itself as a series of metal intrusions to the back of your neck near your spine. The implant will automatically reach it's way into your brain and keep track of new experiences and ideas.

Member life/duties:

The Song of Revelation has appointed members called Seekers that dedicate their l ife to ﬁnding and recruiting people that are in possession of an unknown or lesser explored idea or knowledge. Most members spend their time studying or researching their specialized ﬁeld, while it is not uncommon to have members that are adventurers or treasure hunters.

How to Join:

Players cannot join the covenant unless they are approached by a seeker. Seekers will present themselves to the player when their blue points have reached 30. Seekers often wear robes or loose clothing and speak in a very precise and eloquent tone. Seekers will introduce themselves as a recruiter for a community of scholars and enthusiasts of knowledge. The seeker will ask the player if they would like to join the Song of Revelation. If the player accepts, they have an option to receive the data-circuit implant. The data-circuit implant gives the player the following beneﬁt:

+1 Intellect edge, and one additional ﬂex skill per day.

The data-circuit lowers movement in the neck region. This results in
