The Manual › Your Story

Goals

Your current aims. Complete one and the next logical step appears.

Your goals are shown in My Affairs. Every character starts with a hand-written immediate goal and a long-term ambition. People in the story can give you new goals too, such as a job, a favour or a debt to repay.

  • You have up to three active goals at once.
  • When you achieve one it's marked complete and the next logical step usually appears, so the story keeps moving.
  • Some goals carry progress, such as "inspected 2 of 5 crates".
  • If you fail at something, the narrator won't pretend you succeeded.

In the myths, each saga is also split into seven chapters, each with its own aim. See Myth Through Time.
