Legacy & Year-Long Affairs — The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian

Year-Long Affairs are strategic projects Jerian undertakes each year — distinct from reactive events. Imperial Affairs shift empire parameters toward Progress, Tradition, Law, Dogma, Equality, or Elitism. Personal Affairs develop skills, Tempest Legacy, or resource inventories.

Imperial Affairs (1132 examples)

Society of Arts and Sciences — Progress. League of Canons — Tradition. Board of Justice — Jurisprudence/Law. Spiritual Conclave — Dogmatism. Committee for Aiding the Poor — Equality. Noble Assembly — Elitism.

Pick Affairs matching your ending goal. Reformer routes chain Progress + Equality Affairs across multiple years.

Personal Affairs

Finest Instructors — skill training. Family Tree — Legacy from ancestors. Inventory of Resources — economic flexibility. Some lock until story milestones.

Spending Legacy and Sanity

Legacy bypasses skill gates — essential when a critical Diplomacy 15 option appears and you have 13. Sanity bypasses personality gates. Both are finite; Affairs that generate Legacy are long-term investments.
