Receiving the Missions 

+

The missions are made available via the Bureau of Destiny. Recognizing the value of expanding its field operatives in the service of other bureaus and gods, the BoD allows for petitions to be made available to its staff. All staff has access to and the ability to accept these petitions, but in practice only younger Sidereals have the time or inclination to complete missions for others. Elder Sidereals are far too busy with their own machinations. 

+

Each Mission has ratings attached to it from 1-5 stars: 

+
