Disciples of Anu missions
The Second Initiation
Before mission:
Keeper of the Threshold: There are some who still cling to the sins of the old world; even now they are consumed by greed, thinking that if they hoard enough, they will survive the coming changes. These Brigands have attacked many of our havens, and those of others also. Let the judgment of the Dead God fall upon them. The second initiation mission appears.
Mission briefing:
Instead of understanding that survival now depends on adaptation and cooperation, these raiders have kept up the ways of the old world: greed and conflict. They've been attacking havens, hoarding stolen supplies and causing problems for everyone with their unrelenting selfishness.
The Exalted has decided that this must stop.
After mission:
Keeper of the Threshold: You have done well. The Exalted sends her thanks, and the 
Synod of Yearning will speak the names of your operatives at morning prayer. Do not feel ashamed of having killed your fellow humans, although you may pitty them; for in clinging the old, they doom the future. The Voiceless Hierophant shall judge you when the time is right.
Rewards:
Disciples of Anu's attitude to 
Phoenix Project +5, 
TECH +200, 
MATERIALS +200, 
FOOD +200. Diplomacy status is changed to SUPPORTIVE if reputation is higher than +25%.
The Fourth Initiation
Before mission:
Blind Legate: My task is not to see what is on the surface, but to perceive the truth within. What do you believe? Do you understand that there is no way back to the world before the Flood because it was the very nature of that world that caused its downfall?
If you do, then you understand the folly of those who dream of the old world and you will act against them.
I am sending you the coordinates of a sacred site. At this place, a child was born with a body uplifted by Anu and a mind of free of the plague, a harbinger of things to come.
Yet now the heathens of 
New Jericho occupy this hallowed ground and refuse to leave. Cast them out and prove your dedication to our cause.
Mission briefing:
A group of New Jericho soldiers is occupying this site, which is considered sacred by the Disciples of Anu. The Blind Legate has tasked us to destroy them in the name of The Exalted.
After mission:
Blind Legate: Do you understand why your actions were necessary? Why the site is sacred? It is here that the conditions existed which brought forth and better body with a free mind; one without the other is meaningless. The Exalted bids us, understand: why here? To fathom why the site is sacred is to fathom how other sites may become sacred also. Keep on this path, and you shall hear the voice of the Shadowed Hierarch, and after him, the wisdom of the Synod of Yearning.
Rewards:
Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project +5, TECH +200, MATERIALS +200, FOOD +200. New recruit joined the Phoenix Project. Diplomacy status is changed to ALIGNED if reputation is higher than +50%.
The Sixth Initiation
Before mission:
Synod of Yearning: Yes. Good. Yes. You have succeeded. So far. Yes. You have shown courage. Cunning. Strength. Yes. Now obedience. Submission. Faith above self. Yes. Demonstrate the divine principles. Strike down our enemies. Prepare for the day of judgment. Yes.
Synedrion Apostles of a false creed. Humans at the top of creation. Lies! We are not evolved. Not yet. Find their homes. reak their heathen belief. Show them the wrath of the Dead God. Blood. Fire. In the streets. Yes.
Player choice 1: As you command. Player choice 2: This is barbaric. We refuse.
If the player chooses: As you command.: Synod of Yearning: Yes. Our command. Your action. The minds that move. The hand that strikes.
Mission briefing:
War is terrible, but only the Disciples_of_Anu truly understands that to survive, humanity must evolve. Synedrion's ideology of co-existence would prevent humanity from changing, from learning from its sins.
It's a beguiling idea, which is precisely why the Synod of Yearning opposes it so fiercely.
We must attach the haven and destroy all opposing forces, no matter how distasteful it might seem. This will prove our dedication to the The Exalted's plan.
After mission:
The Exalted: I am sorry about what the Synod of Yearning made you do. Those were not my orders. I have no desire to destroy those who disagree with us unless their actions undermine humanity's chances of survival.
The Synod is ... a necessary evil. But perhaps its usefulness is nearing an end.
You have demonstrated your loyalty time and again. I believe you suspect that there is more to my plan than meets the eye, and you are right. The time is almost upon us. I will explain everything soon
Rewards:
Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project +5, TECH +300, MATERIALS +400, FOOD +300. Diplomacy status is changed to ALLIED if reputation is higher than +75%.
