Cycle 36 is the first target for a revolt qualified by the Cycle 35 check. It can also carry Golden Key, Victoria, county, callback, and earlier quest-result routes.
Spoiler warning: All newly eligible choices and outcomes are linked below. A route-union entry means the scene can occur on at least one valid history, not that every listed scene can coexist in one playthrough.
Return to the Cycle 35 walkthrough
Recommended Order
- Resolve any forced major intervention before planning the selectable morning.
- Play recruitment returns and corruption returns before scenes that check the current Round Table.
- Clear fixed and delayed story audiences, then resolve the random grievances actually drawn on this route.
- Use afternoon conversations before the Round Table only when their state change helps the assignments you are about to make.
- Assign deadline quests first, repair armor before lethal work, and send only callbacks you want competing for the next cycle’s character slots.
- Continue through every result panel until the first Cycle 37 Tower View appears.
Morning Assembly
Direct story audiences, callbacks, quest results, deaths, and current-cycle injections are assembled before random grievances. Same-character conflicts do not delete a valid delayed scene; they move it to the first later cycle where that character is free.
| Direct audiences before filling | Random grievances added |
|---|---|
| 0 or 1 | 2 or 3 |
| 2 | Exactly 2 |
| 3 | 1 or 2 |
| 4 | Exactly 1 |
| 5 or more | None |
The exact live pool is route-dependent because earlier draws permanently remove wrappers and only a separate location-introduction scene activates a county pack. An Act Three county opening starts its quest chain; it does not activate that county’s random pack by itself.
Fixed and Newly Eligible Audiences
| Scene | Earliest route | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Victoria and Sagadin | Optional Dialogue | Keep Victoria from betraying long enough to clear another cooldown, reach 6 affinity, and have the Witch Tower available. |
Inherited Route Pool
This stage also carries 30 explicitly linked earlier roots. Their choices are not duplicated here; use the Conditional Audience Choices reference and follow only the entries whose prerequisites your route actually satisfies.
Newly Unlockable Quests
No quest route first becomes eligible in this cycle’s current proof window.
Earlier Quest Results Reaching This Stage
| Quest route | Knights whose assignment resolves now |
|---|---|
| Griffin taming: Let’s tame the griffin belonging to the late Count; it must know something. | left unassigned until its deadline |
| Pirates under pressure: The pirates must have information: we’ll make them squeal. | left unassigned until its deadline |
| Repel the dragon: Fine, we’ll help you… | any other single Knight, left unassigned until its deadline |
| Search underwater: We’ll look under the water! I bet no one else even thought of that. | left unassigned until its deadline |
| The merchant’s guilds: We’ll speak with the local merchant guilds.. | left unassigned until its deadline |
| The princes of the Islands: We’ll speak to the leaders of the local islands. | left unassigned until its deadline |
Route Warnings
- A delayed audience’s target is a minimum, not a promise. A shared visitor moves the later addition forward until the first free cycle.
- A death removes that Knight’s already scheduled future audiences before the death announcement is added.
- A newly triggered low-affinity departure is checked after the current morning is assembled, so its departure card targets a later cycle.
- County quest openings and county location introductions are different scenes. Only the latter unlocks a county’s random audience pack.
Delayed Revolt Target
If the Cycle 35 check found an eligible population, its revolt first targets this morning. Only the lowest untriggered population can qualify, and shared-character conflicts can still push the scene later.
