Stations)
A Station in diplomacy is an NPC's role in the world.
NPCs are all relegated to eight Stations. Each Station represents one of the vital categories of citizen in a fantasy medieval city:
- Domestics - ordinary citizens - Those Who Toil
- Soldiers - the warriors and guards - Those Who Fight
- Crafters - the skilled laborers of the city - Those Who Create
- Clergy - the priests and shamans - Those Who Share Wisdom
- Academics - the magic-users, sages, and historians - Those Who Know
- Merchants - the vendors and traders - Those Who Trade
- Nobles - the rulers and their assistants - Those Who Rule
- Outsiders - monsters and hermits - Those Who We Shun
Some cities have many of one type and few of others. In some cities, working with one
type of NPC will spawn more of that type to communicate with. In others, speaking with one
type may reduce the number of NPCs to speak with of another type! Aruspex
Card decks vary based on station. This is a general guideline from the tutorial.
* Soldiers: racial Expression plus Demand
* Crafters and Academics: racial Expression plus Reason
* Nobles, Merchants and Outsiders: racial Expression plus Flattery
* Clergy: racial Expression plus Inspire
