In my background I have included a bit about Tarius having served on a Hawkwood sponsored diplomatic mission to the Vau after which Tarius gained his guild rank and the offer of an imperial badge.
WOuld it be convinient if Venus had also been on that mission, and that perhaps she was the one who 'sponsored' Tarius as a guild cohort, now attached to her latest mission.
Just a suggestion

So I am going to have one NPC in the group, a Charioteer by the name of Ensign Yoni Koto. She is a pilot of an Explore class shipped, owned by the Guide. They are ‘renting’ the ship to Venus for her quest, partly being paid by the Hawkwoods and partly by the Phoenix Order. This contract mostly includes taking Venus to any Known World.
Also note that Yoni will not have an Imperial Consort Badge, and so part of the arrangement and ‘rent’ will be that the Charioteer Guide will get first trading rights for any new Jumproutes (and Jumpkeys) discovered by the group along the way. Yoni will mostly stay with the ship, and is very ‘mercenary’ in most of her dealings with the group (making sure the Guide gets every penny they can for everything they do).

Oh, one thing I noticed there ObiAndy about the Brother Battle...
Theurgist Powers: Combat Sense (+4) should be +5 (you get your Adapt level +3 =4 +1 for your Wisdom modifier)
Just as an FYI

Oh yea... the NATIVE say never to share what you see... but most Known Worlders don't always follow this pracise... it is up to you all, and you have heard the native speak of this... but you have also heard what others have seen here.

Does sharing the info have bad consequences? E.i. like preventing the vision from coming true if it foretold a higher/benifitual destiny?
Relique du Madde said:
Well, that's probably the belief. To speak the prophecy makes it unravel.
I think how we've tried to say-but-not-say what was seen works well. Once parts come true, we can reveal more. I think that attitude probably works well with this setting.
Just some thoughts...
