This guide will help you find a cheatsheet for descriptions, quotes, and similar things to discover Virtues and Vices.
Introduction
I wanted to make a comprehensive cheatsheet for my personal use to look up virtues and vices. During the process, I thought it might be helpful to share it here with all of you. A heads-up, though – if you enjoy discovering these things on your own, this guide may not be suitable for you.
Now, let’s go over some basic terms:
- Omen: This is how Chernobog refers to a trait when you dream, especially if it’s different from the trait’s name. If a trait’s omen is empty, Chernobog will directly state it.
- Advisor Quote: The text spoken by a person when you choose them as your advisor.
- Selected for Work Quote: The text spoken by a person when you select them to work for the month.
- Inquire: This is what is said when you inquire about someone’s virtue or vice.
- Work Result / Work Result (partial reveal): The text displayed in the results screen for their work. Note that partial reveal only shows the tenant, not the trait itself.
- Incompatible Traits: Traits that someone cannot have if they possess this particular trait.
