Cycle 40 is the last fresh-assignment result window produced by quests newly contracted in Cycles 33-37. Held quests, callbacks, deaths, county stages, and random grievances can still continue later.
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.

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 41 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
This cycle has no new fixed choice table. Its morning is assembled from delayed results, callbacks, replay history, and already documented random pools.
Inherited Route Pool
This stage also carries 43 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.

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.
End of the Fresh Result Window
This is the latest fresh-assignment result shown for quests first contracted in the preceding five-cycle batch. It is not a hard deadline: a non-deadline quest that you deliberately leave open can be assigned later and resolve after Cycle 40.
