Finally, the Road to PARTIZAN enters its final lap. Over the next two weeks, we\\u2019ll be zooming the camera out to look at the 5,000+ years that have taken us from the end of the Twilight Mirage to the very moment PARTIZAN begins, and to do that we\\u2019ll turn to Ben Robbins\\u2019 excellent Microscope, a game which we used in part during COUNTER/Weight\\u2019s \\u201cfaction turns.\\u201d\\xa0

In this first part, we\\u2019ll look directly at the moon world of Partizan, where a religious prophet makes a dramatic claim, performs apparent miracles, and winds up caught in the machinations of an empire. Will this shake the religious foundations of the Principality? Or will this prophet be stomped out like so many other challenges to Divinity\\u2019s rule\\u2026

This Week on the Road to PARTIZAN: Microscope Pt. 1

///YEAR:1418 PERFECT MILLENNIUM

////LOCATION: PARTIZAN | ASHEN STRAND 001.01 | ISLES OF LOGOS

///RECORD TYPE: AUDIOVISUAL

This is a low-quality recording of a \\u201cRededication Ceremony\\u201d at a temple or church. Across two dozens sequences, the footage follows members of this community as they prepare for, attend, and mingle after a religious ceremony. The footage leaps from scene to scene artlessly, offering only brief snatches of time as the camera operator inconsistently holds down the \\u201crecord\\u201d button. Banners are hung. Seating is assigned. An orator speaks at a podium in front of a large, dark shape. They are in the middle of speaking, and the camera picks up the words \\u201ctheir war is our opportunity,\\u201d before being cut off. Afterwards, food and drink is provided. Over the sound of backround chatter, an attendee offers the camera a friendly hand sign and a smile.
