Assembling and Using Manuscripts
Some Manuscripts are single pieces, but many of the most powerful ones require two, three, or four pieces to be
collected and then assembled. Manuscripts that train (i.e. enhance) Legions and Praetors are denoted by the letter “L” or
“P” in the bottom left of the Manuscript image. eir numbering sequence, if any, is also denoted. “P 1 / 2”, for example,
indicates that the Manuscript trains Praetors and that it is the first of two parts.
To use the Manuscript, you must select the Train option for the Praetor or Legion under the Orders Tab (cf. Giving
Orders, 4.19). Some Manuscripts are labeled as Rites and Machines, which are three and four part Manuscripts
(respectively) that you may piece together for powerful effects that increase or decrease the attributes of player avatars.
(Rites and Machines can be found in Appendix J.) e “Manage Manuscripts” order category can be used to assemble
any manuscripts for which you have an entire set collected (rites and machines). In some cases you can also use the
“Manage Objectives” category if assembly of a specific rite or machines is also a secret objective that you have drawn.

In the Infernal Bazaar players can bid on Legions, Praetors, Relics, Artifacts, and Manuscripts pieces. Players must use
an Order Slot for bidding, and they must commit the minimum resource bid for the specified item. e player with the
highest bid is declared the winner and is awarded control. In order to determine the highest bid, the game applies the
following rules:
• If only one player bids and if the minimum bid is met, that player is declared the winner.
• If more than one player bids with at least the minimum, the following point system is used:
For each soul bid over the minimum, two points are awarded. For each other resource bid over the minimum, one
point is awarded. e player with the highest points wins.
• If both players have the same number of points, the player with the highest Infernal Rank is declared the winner.
(Remember, these are Prince, Duke, Marquis, Baron, and Lord -- in descending order. Found in Appendix K.)
• If players are still tied, the player with the most Prestige is declared the winner.
• If both players are still tied and if one of those players is the Regent, the Regent is declared the winner.
• If neither player is the Regent and if both are still tied, the auction is canceled and the bids are returned to each
player. e minimum bid is slightly raised for the item, and bidding may resume the following turn.
Certaine creatures, of whom I choice not to mention by nam or by type, have fearefull and frighteninge
desirs (so farre as I can observe) to overthrow and disarme the potential unification of our Infernall
Countrie through the deplorable use (for is it not deplorable to deconstruct that greater purpose of dis-
rupting our wayward Father?) of stealth, deciete, and the masking of one’s intentions through sundrie
charms, amulets, spells, incantaions, and the likes. The oldest version, of which I may speake scholas-
tiklie upon, is a trincket called the Amulet of Incencerity or, as common lore would have it, the Amulet
of Shadows, but that discussion will be left later to my treatise, for even though it embodies that which
we deville folke are known this amultet is a canker against our kinde, falslie taking our own definition
to better divide our kinde against each other.
