June progress update

Hello everyone,
We've fallen a little behind on project updates, busy working on the texts, so it's time: where exactly are we at?
We are currently finishing the last big chunk of the campaign: the agent's companion scenarios. Unlike the first two books, the four scenarios unlocked during the campaign are exclusive content created for the campaign. And... they are taking us a little longer than expected:
The first, “At The Poem's Heart,” has been proofread and translated, and is currently being laid out. It should be ready soon, along with the new pre-generated characters.
The other three scenarios have been written. We still have to test and translate them. This step is taking longer than we expected, but I'm very happy with the results and can't wait to share them with you.
We will need another month or two to complete the various elements that are still needed. I will give you another update next month.
As for supply, we are still thinking about the best way to navigate the new tariff environment, but we have some solid leads for getting our books to their destination. We will be making our first shipment to Europe and the United Kingdom, and we are currently working on a solution for the second shipment to the United States.
If you haven't been following our latest news, we also have set up a blog where you can learn more about the lore of the universe and the peoples of the MIR Pact:

See you soon, and thank you again for your support!

CENSORS OF THE SYSTERIN EMPIRE
Hierarchically below the Fate, the Censors choose the partners of imperial citizens immediately after their baptism of destiny. Reunited in couples, the children are anointed by the Censor using a chalice filled with black liquid, the same in which they will be immersed and dissolved upon their death. It is noteworthy that some citizens have no partner or may be forbidden to have a partner. Unicity and the Censors do not condemn any orientation, but if a citizen deviates from the one assigned to him, he suffers Stigmata.
While the Fate have the privilege of connecting to the Unicity Network, the Censors “feel its will” through the Moira gland. Invisible on the Fate, this organ grows to monstrous proportions in Censors, subjecting them to the entity's will. Whereas the Sage retains the free will necessary to interpret the network of Unicity, the Censors, permanently under its influence, lose their personality.
The Censors are the “network made flesh” as inculcated by the cult of Unicity, cold and analytical they dispense their judgments and remind citizens of the law. Where the Fate reside in the majestic Towers of Destiny, only accessible during baptisms, the Censors dwell in the Pools of Unicity, open to all at all times.
This proximity is relative though, as the basins are usually empty except during the second part of the Baptism of Destiny, considered a rather unpleasant formality. The Censors' obsessive logic and repulsive appearance make it difficult to connect with the public.
Ridiculed and caricatured as freaks, the Censors are nonetheless not without empathy and, by being attentive to both the people and the Unicity network, are veritable wells of wisdom.
New lore & update on the tariff situation

Hi Everyone !
The layout of the scenario compendium is finished and currently under review, it should be available on Backerkit next week in its PDF version. We are quite impatient to present you the elves and dwarves of our universe as well as the Readarn, the last culture of the Pact of the MIR!
You will alsa find at the end of the post a lore Excerpts about the Fate, the destiny makers of the Systerin Empire. More are to come so stay tuned!
We will also take this update as an opportunity to talk about the tariff situation.
First thing to say is … we are still finishing the creation of the books, so for now … We wait.
We will keep you updated with more online content as we are finishing them so you get things to read before the physical objects.
We obviously monitor the current situation as the climate is very volatile and shift from one week to another.
As such, it is currently quite difficult to forecast the impact on the campaign.
We have the chance to have a bit of time before printing. We will take this time to see how we can deal with this situation, hoping for a calmer period!
We will provide more details as soon as we have a clearer picture of the situation.
FATES
Fates are the most important servants of the cult of Unicity and the only ones authorized to connect to its network to deliver destiny to every citizen.
To be appointed a Fate is rare, and to survive training even more so: at a very young age, apprentices are implanted with a new organ, the “Moïra” gland, to connect to the network. Most succumb to the operation or go mad, shattered by the influx of information as the entity enters to commune with them.
Their order is divided into Initiated Fate, whose role is to deliver destinies to citizens, and Venerable Fate, whose experience enables them to interpret the network's decisions. The latter, by dint of sharing their minds with Unicity, are no longer quite human, and are worshipped as idols by the other citizens.
This prestige, as well as manipulating the network of Unicity, has enabled them to influence imperial policy far beyond their simple prerogatives. Wishing to limit their power, the Senate forced Fates to take a vow of poverty, and now authorizes the MIR to recruit them as agents. The Cult of Unicity considers this law to be heresy, but Fates have yet to react publicly...
