\subsection*{Gaining Power}
As time goes on, players spend \glspl{storypoint} to summon aid from their past.
One character may find everyone in the village knows them as a local hero, and everyone is willing to stand and fight with them.
Another may know a powerful mage.
Once all \glspl{storypoint} have been spent, every member of the group will have told multiple stories of their past and introduced companions and locations from their history.
Each character follows a God or personal honour code.
Fulfilling this code allows players to assign skills, magical abilities, and raw strength to their characters.
