CHAPTER 2, pt. 1 - 01 (Patreon)

KISMET Lore dump: The Ordana celebrates numerous holidays during a single Planetary Standard year--while some holidays are meant to be more meditative and somber in tone, most celebrations end with eating traditionally seasonal foods and playing games of chance. Though this practice is generally enjoyed without incident by a large majority of the population, some experts have raised concern over what amounts to church-sanctioned gambling. The Ordana counters these concerns by sponsoring numerous programs dedicated to treating gambling addictions, though its detractors question the organization's investment in programs that might reduce its tithes.
