Prerequisite Charms: Tireless Rower's Beat
There would always be a need to travel to distant places. Places not safe for mortal or even exalted life. Viziers could help fascilitate such journeys and help ferry diplomats or armies to those places. This charm functions like the charm Integrity Protecting Prana except it extends to the ship and all on it. Furthermore it keeps the ship itself from being transformed into anything.
Storm Sailing Technique
Cost: 8m; Mins: Sail 4, Essence 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: None
Duration: One day
Prerequisite Charms: Tireless Rower's Beat
Admirals and navigators with few as their peers the Vizier's can sail a ship through a storm without worrying of being delayed. Currents, debrie and headwinds do not slow down a vessel when a Sidereal uses this charm on it. Ships still have to go around large obstacles, they still need some wind at least to move and large storms can still ruin a ship but wind in the wrong direction isn't an issue nor the usual things which delay a vessel at sea.
Dead Sea Winds Method
Cost: 5m; Mins: Sail 3, Essence 3; Type: Simple
Keywords: None
Duration: One day
Prerequisite Charms: Tireless Rower's Beat
Destiny does not strand the Sidereals in the open sea or deny them a good wind. If there would normally be no wind at all the Sidereal can use this charm to provide a gentle breeze, enough to move the ship at its normal movement speed.
Followed Star Map Technique
Cost: 8m, 1wp; Mins: Sail 5, Essence 5, House of Journeys 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: College, Combo-OK
Duration: Special
Prerequisite Charms: Storm Sailing Technique, Fishing At World's Edge
The Vizier's can read the stars to find all the secret paths in the world, fate and essence being a better map then anything made by mortal or immortal hands. The Sidereal makes a Perception + Sail roll at a variable difficulty. Places she is very personally familiar with are difficulty one. A place she has only been to once or twice is difficulty 3. A place well known around the world but one she has never gone to herself is difficulty 5. Hidden and secret places, or those just unknown to the world at large are difficulty 10 or the difficulty set by whatever magic hides the place. If she makes the difficulty she can sail the ship there or at least to the nearest point of land to it.
Ursupation of Authority Prana
Cost: 10m, 1wp; Mins: Sail 4, Essence 3, House of Journeys 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: College, Combo-OK, Compulsion, Social
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Fateful Sail Excellency
The Unconquered Sun granted to his chosen natural abilities of rulership and dominion. Such is not the way of the Sidereals. They advise and support and help fascilitate when the Lawgivers are not around. When onboard a vessel the Sidereal can activate this charm to establish themselves in the ships hierarchy. This Charisma or Manipulation + Sail roll has a difficulty equal to the MDV of the captain plus half the Magnitude of the crew. If successful the crew accepts the Sidereal as the captain's second in command. The crew treats her as such and will follow any orders that do not strictly go against one of the Captains. This can create all sorts of sabotage if the Sidereal hiding on board or let them take over if the captain isn't around when she gets onto the ship. Once the captain is aware of the Sidereal's interference she can spend 3 loyalty to break the crews committment to the Vizier assuming she can get to her ship to re-establish command.
Thousand Paths Movements
Cost: -; Mins: Sail 2, Essence 2; Type: Permanent
Keywords: Merged
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: None
One thing that the Viziers know is that there is a thousand different ways to reach wherever they wish to go. Solars may refuse to change their path and push on but Sidereals will take another path always with their final goal in mind. The difficulty of any Blockade Movement action against the Sidereal is increased by 2. This works regardless of the form of transport the Sidereal is on. Walking, riding a steed or on a ship it doesn't matter. This charm exists in Survival and Ride.
