For example, when you steal from a guard you're taking a core part of who they are, in this case their Essence of Authority. As a Master Thief, you can then use this Authority on others, such as the guards at a gate to force them to open it for travel. Or steal the Essence of Courage from some adventurers, to make you and your thieves bold enough to enter unfriendly areas.<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4106470/extras/9d93f78baf97b870044770dc362f5cc8.avif?t=1782089986" width=492 height=108 />Essences are many and powerful, and you'll need them all to fight back the Silent Fog that has enveloped the lands.Main Features:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Essences - Discover and wield 9 different Essences, each offering different ways to explore or strengthen your organization.</li><li>Real Paths - Watch your underlings go on their journeys from start to finish.
