==Summary==
  
Assuming you've had experience with Nar-Sie (Ane-Fvr in the Ratvarian tongue) and their cult, you might assume that Ratvar's servants operate in a similar fashion. In this, you would be both correct and incorrect. While both cults rely on forced conversion tactics and ultimately serve their respective gods, the similarities end there. The Ratvarian cult is focused primarily on subtlety, sabotage, and base-building, whereas the Nar-Sian cult is focused on sowing chaos, paranoia, and dissent among the crew's ranks.

In addition, unlike Nar-Sie, Ratvar is capable of converting silicon lifeforms. Cyborgs and AIs are both valid targets for conversion. Converted cyborgs will have yellow eyes, visible immediately unless headlights are on (and even then a close examination reveals them), but AIs have no indication unless carded.

You might be wondering, "What's CV and why do we need 100 of it? Will it kill my children?" No, it won't, but it's still important. "CV" is the abbreviation for "Construction Value", which is gained by building Ratvarian structures or turfs. For instance, the tinkerer's cache (an extremely important structure) grants 10 CV. It is also granted by clockwork floors and walls - which are useful in their own right - and is a required threshold to gain more powerful scripture.

Alt-clicking an awakened visor with an empty hand will put a ball of fire, called ''Ratvar's flame'', into your hand. This flame not only functions as a potent melee weapon but serves a special functionality. Clicking on any object from range while on harm intent will send the flame there to turn into a judicial marker, which will cover a 3x3 area of tiles. After a short time, it bursts, stunning all non-servants for a long duration. This can only be done every thirty seconds, and Ratvar's flame can be returned to the visor by striking the visor with the flame.

|This scripture is very powerful and very desirable. Memory Allocation will, after a short time, create and bind a clockwork marauder to the invoker. These marauders are sturdy footsoldiers capable of resisting extreme punishment, but function in a similar vein to holoparasites in that they share certain restrictions. Marauders begin invisible and inside of their user. Each marauder has a semi-unique true name and can communicate silently to their host. In order to come forth, their host must speak aloud the marauder's true name. In combat, marauders don't take health damage but fatigue damage. Fatigue damage dictates the strength of their blows and the speed at which they move. Upon reaching too high of a fatigue count, marauders are automatically recalled and forced to wait until fully recovered before they can come forth again. While deployed, marauders take small fatigue damage if near their host and extreme fatigue damage of far away. Marauders are selected and controlled by a random ghost with the servant preference enabled.

Servant of ratvar.png
Servant of Ratvar
Access: Whatever you have
Additional Access: Anyone that you can use a Spatial Gateway to get to
Difficulty: Moderate
Supervisors: Ratvar
Rank: Not defined
Duties: Complain about not having any stuns, even though you do
Guides: This is the guide
Quote: "Ratvar is a dumb na-" "QVR, URNGURA!!"

While Nar-Sie is an elder god, they are not the only one. There are other elder gods in the universe, and one in particular holds a fierce grudge against Nar-Sie: Ratvar, the Clockwork Justiciar. Am amalgamation of parts, steam, and cogs, Ratvar seeks nothing more than Nar-Sie's utter annihilation. Unfortunately, his exile to Reebe - a plane of complete nothingness - makes celestial warfare somewhat difficult. To these ends, he has enslaved mortals to do his bidding and ensure the downfall of the Geometer.

Assuming you're one of those slaves, you've come to the right place.

Summary

Assuming you've had experience with Nar-Sie and their cult, you might assume that Ratvar's servants operate in a similar fashion. In this, you would be both correct and incorrect. While both cults rely on forced conversion tactics and ultimately serve their respective gods, the similarities end there. The Ratvarian cult is focused primarily on subtlety, sabotage, and base-building, whereas the Nar-Sian cult is focused on sowing chaos, paranoia, and dissent among the crew's ranks.

In addition, unlike Nar-Sie, Ratvar is capable of converting silicon lifeforms. Cyborgs and AIs are both valid targets for conversion. Converted cyborgs will have yellow eyes, visible immediately unless headlights are on (and even then a close examination reveals them), but AIs have no indication unless carded.

Ratvar's servants have to fulfill his will. Typical goals include:

  • Summoning Ratvar
  • Ensuring that a certain number of servants escape on the shuttle
  • Converting all silicon lifeforms on the station

Luckily, you are not alone in this. As a servant, you have a wide variety of tools at your disposal.

The Clockwork Slab Clockwork slab.gif

If you've had experience with the Nar-Sian cult, then you can think of the clockwork slab as Ratvar's equivalent of the arcane tome. However, the slab boasts superior portability and utility than the tome, although it's slightly larger and can't fit in pockets. All initial servants start with a clockwork slab and can create more through scripture (more on that later).

The clockwork slab has five functions:

  • Recital, which utilizes scripture
  • Records, which displays important information including cultist count and construction value
  • Recollection, which displays an in-game documentation and tutorial
  • Repository, which displays all components in the slab (more on that)
  • Report, which allows discreet communication between all servants

Every servant should have a slab! Slabs are key to the success of Ratvar's agenda.

New Servant Checklist

So the round started, and you're a servant? Good! There's a few things that you should do before you begin purging all those pesky untruths. Any unfamiliar terms are covered later in the page.

  • Use your slab's Report function to alert your teammates of your rank, position, etc.
  • Develop a base for your operations, preferably with your teammates, and tell the teammates where it is - include a tinkerer's cache, then an ocular warden and some clockwork floors/walls once you can make them
  • Start expanding your ranks and working towards your objective; have a backup plan in case you get caught
  • Use Function Call and Memory Allocation to arm and defend yourself
  • Increase your component generation with clockwork proselytized walls and tinkerer's daemons
  • Stay in touch with your teammates and be prepared to help them if things go south

Components, Scripture, and CV

Ratvarian cultists don't sacrifice their own blood to use rituals. Instead, they use something called components. In a literal sense, these are parts of Ratvar's body that have rusted and fallen free during his imprisonment. Despite this, the parts hold power on their own and are utilized by Ratvar's servants to power their rites - what they call scripture. Scripture has multiple tiers; each tier is unlocked as the cult's power grows. For instance, the third tier is unlocked through having at least eight servants, 100 CV worth of structures, and three of a specific structure.

There are five component types:

  • Belligerent eyes, which possess the power to focus on certain things and grant malevolent sentience
  • Vanguard cogwheels, which are almost indestructible and serve in protection
  • Guvax capacitors, which can manipulate the mind
  • Replicant alloys, which are very strong but can be melted and molded by force of will
  • Hierophant ansibles, which can send massive amounts of data in an instant

Except for the first tier, most scripture consumes a certain amount of components of a certain type. These components are drawn directly from the slab, which generates components passively at a slow rate, or from the global component storage accessed by tinkerer's caches. This storage can hold an infinite amount of components, and scripture will prioritize drawing from the storage before the slab's internal capacity is tapped.

You might be wondering, "What's CV and why do we need 100 of it? Will it kill my children?" No, it won't, but it's still important. "CV" is the abbreviation for "Construction Value", which is gained by building Ratvarian structures or turfs. For instance, the tinkerer's cache (an extremely important structure) grants 10 CV. It is also granted by clockwork floors and walls - which are useful in their own right - and is a required threshold to gain more powerful scripture.


Driver Scripture

Below is a list of all Driver scripture. Driver scriptures are unlocked by default and have no unlock requirement.

Scripture names in italics signify important scripture necessary to success.

Name Component Cost Component Requirement Description Invocation Time Invokers Required
Belligerent N/A 1 Belligerent Eye Chanted - the invoker must stand still to cause continuous effects.

Every few seconds, the invoker utters an invocation that forces all non-Servants nearby to walk instead of run.

Every 3s up to 30s 1
Judicial Visor 1 Belligerent Eye 2 Belligerent Eyes Creates a Judicial Visor, which can create balls of Ratvar's Flame. Ratvar's Flame is a decent melee weapon, but if used while on harm intent, will create a Judicial Marker at the chosen location.

Judicial Markers will explode after four seconds, stunning and damaging all non-Servants in the area.

N/A 1
Vanguard N/A 1 Vanguard Cogwheel The invoker gains 30 seconds of stun immunity.

At the end of the 30 seconds, all stuns absorbed by the Vanguard affect the invoker. If the invoker was stunned above a certain threshold, they will also go unconscious for 50% longer than the stuns they absorbed.

3s 1
Sentinel's Compromise 1 Vanguard Cogwheel 2 Vanguard Cogwheels Heals a target Servant of all brute and burn damage, but does 50% of the total damage that servant had as toxin damage.

The invoker cannot target themself with the Compromise.

3s 1
Guvax N/A 1 Guvax Capacitor Converts all directly adjacent unshielded creatures, including cyborgs and AIs, to Ratvar's cause.

Also purges holy water from nearby Servants, including the invoker.

6s 1
Sigil of Submission 1 Guvax Capacitor 2 Guvax Capacitors Creates a Sigil that, when crossed by a non-Servant, will attempt to convert them after 3 seconds if they remain on the Sigil for that time.

The Sigil announces conversion attempts over the Hierophant Network, though it will not announce if the target moves off the Sigil first.
Both successful and unsuccessful conversion attempts will stun and mute the target.

6s 1
Replicant 1 Replicant Alloy 1 Replicant Alloy Creates a Clockwork Slab and attempts to put it in the invoker's hands. N/A 1
Tinkerer's Cache 1 Replicant Alloy 2 Replicant Alloy Creates a Tinkerer's Cache, which can store any number of components, which it will share with all other Caches and Slabs.v

Clockwork Slabs will draw components from the global Cache before drawing from their own components.
Placing a Clockwork Wall adjacent to a Cache will cause it to generate additional components.

4s 1
Wraith Spectacles N/A 1 Hierophant Ansible Creates a pair of Wraith Spectacles, which grant True Sight; effectively x-ray vision.

Sigil of Transgression 1 Hierophant Ansible 2 Hierophant Ansibles Creates a nearly invisible Sigil that, when crossed by a non-Servant, will lock them in place for about five seconds while emitting a bright flash that will temporarily blind non-servants lacking eye protection.

The Sigil does not mute the target, and, due to how it stuns, they can easily be pushed off of it.
You can stack multiple Sigils of different types on a single tile; Try this with a Sigil of Submission and a Sigil of Transgression.

1 Replicant Alloy

1 Belligerent Eye
1 Replicant Alloy

Creates an Ocular Warden, which will automatically damage a target non-Servant that it can see within 3 tiles of it.

Ocular Wardens, while lethal and powerful, are very easily smashed. Place them behind any sort of barricade that doesn't block vision.

Dementia Doctrine

1 Belligerent Eye
1 Guvax Capacitor

1 Belligerent Eye
1 Guvax Capacitor

1 Belligerent Eye
1 Hierophant Ansible

Chanted - the invoker must stand still to cause continuous effects.

Drains power from all APCs, SMES units, power cells, lights, and cyborgs who can see the invoker.
If the invoker drains too much power, they will begin to take damage based on how much they're draining. Augmented limbs will be healed instead, unless above a much higher threshold.
If standing on a Sigil of Tranmission, most of the power drained will be funneled to it.

Every 1s up to 30s 1
Fellowship Armory

1 Vanguard Cogwheel
1 Hierophant Ansible

1 Vanguard Cogwheel
1 Hierophant Ansible

Equips all Servants directly adjacent to the invoker with powerful but obvious brass armor.

The armor includes a suit, helmet, and boots, and anything a servant is wearing in those slots will prevent it from being equipped.
The armor provides massive melee and bullet protection, but a weakness to lasers. The boots prevent slipping on anything short of lube.

Vitality Matrix

1 Belligerent Eye
2 Vanguard Cogwheels
1 Hierophant Ansible

2 Belligerent Eyes
2 Vanguard Cogwheels
1 Hierophant Ansible

Creates a hard-to-see Sigil that, when crossed by a living non-Servant, will start to drain them of health, filling the Sigil with Vitality, after a brief delay.

When crossed by a Servant, however, it will use the drained Vitality to rapidly heal them of all damage until it runs out of Vitality. It cannot do both at once.
The Vitality Matrix can also revive dead Servants at a cost of 25 Vitality plus all of that Servant's non-oxygen damage in Vitality. It will still heal dead servants even if it cannot revive them, so be careful where you drag your bodies.

2 Guvax Capacitors

2 Belligerent Eyes
1 Vanguard Cogwheel
2 Guvax Capacitors

Allocates part of the invoker's consciousness to a Clockwork Marauder, a vigilent fighter similar to the alien holoparasites employed by the Syndicate;
It lives within them, able to be called forth by Speaking its True Name or if they become exceptionally low on health.

Unlike holoparasites, however, it does not transfer the damage it takes to you, instead simply gaining Fatigue as it is attacked. Marauders cannot move too far from their hosts, and will gain Fatigue at an increasing rate as they grow farther away.
At maximum Fatigue, the marauder is forced to return to its host and will be unable to manifest until its Fatigue is at zero.

2 Hierophant Ansibles

2 Belligerent Eyes
1 Replicant Alloy

Using Volt Void while standing on the Sigil will charge it based on how much Volt Void is draining.
The Sigil of Transmission is the only Sigil to have no effect whatsoever when crossed.

5s 1
Mending Motor

3 Vanguard Cogwheels
1 Guvax Capacitor
1 Replicant Alloy

3 Vanguard Cogwheels
1 Guvax Capacitor
1 Replicant Alloy

Creates a Mending Motor, a powerful prism that will heal nearby clockwork mobs, structures, and Servant cyborgs. It starts with 5000W of power in alloy.

It is very inefficient and will consume large amounts of both power and alloy if there are large numbers of damaged clockwork mobs, structures, or Servant cyborgs nearby.
Striking it with Replicant Alloy will refill it at a rate of 1 Alloy to 2500W of power.
It requires 200W of power to repair clockwork mobs, 250W of power to repair clockwork structures, and 300W of power to repair Servant cyborgs.

1 Replicant Alloy
3 Guvax Capacitors
1 Hierophant Ansible

1 Replicant Alloy
3 Guvax Capacitors
1 Hierophant Ansible

Creates a Mania Motor, which will cause brain damage and hallucinations in nearby non-Servant humans. The brain damage and hallucinations get progressively worse as targets near the Motor.

It will also try to convert humans directly adjacent to the motor; if it fails, it will first force them to touch it, then put them to sleep until they manage to move away or become a valid target for conversion.
It requires 150W of power to run, 450W of power to successfully convert non-Servant humans, and 150W of power to force unconvertable humans to sleep.

6s 2
Clockwork Obelisk

1 Vanguard Cogwheel
1 Replicant Alloy
3 Hierophant Ansibles

1 Vanguard Cogwheel
1 Replicant Alloy
3 Hierophant Ansibles

Creates a Clockwork Obelisk, which can Hierophant Broadcast or create a Spatial Gateway. It also serves as a target for Spatial Gateways.

Hierophant Broadcast allows the user to send a large message to all Servants, useful for coordinating.
Spatial Gateway functions as the Script, but with a duration of 10 seconds and 5 uses, in addition to being two-way, allowing passage from either side of the Gateway.
Two-way Gateways are both a bonus and a malus; While it can be used to rescue Servants, if someone notices the gate before it closes, they can easily follow or toss dangerous items into it.
Spatial Gateways to a Clockwork Obelisk receive double duration and uses.
It requires 50W of power to Hierophant Broadcast and 2000W of power to create a Spatial Gateway.

Invoking Inath-Neq gives all Servants within 7 tiles of the invoker a massive, decaying health boost and stun immunity for 10 seconds.

Those affected by Inath-Neq's power are nearly invincible until the scripture runs out, though it does not heal the damage they take during this, which, depending on how much damage they take, may result in abrupt death.
After being invoked, Invoke Inath-Neq, the Resonant Cogwheel goes on cooldown for 5 minutes.

If the Ark survives for 5 minutes, Ratvar, the Clockwork Justiciar, will come forth through it to spread His light across this realm.
In addition to preventing shuttle departure, it will periodically give indication of its general position to everyone on the station as well as being loud enough to be heard throughout the entire sector
Protect it at all costs.

Threats to the Enlightened

Although the servants of Ratvar are gifted with great power, they are still threatened by many things on the station. This can range from enemy cultists to things as simple as hard vacuum.

Nar-Sian Dogs Cultist.png

The one thing that Ratvar hates more than people telling him that he has a bad name are the followers of his nemesis, Nar-Sie. Not only are Ratvar's servants incapable of converting them, but they endeavor to do the very thing that Ratvar wants to prevent: Nar-Sie's arrival into the mortal plane. The two cults are enemies of one another, serving rival gods with rival goals. As such, Ratvarian magic will be more effective against Nar-Sian cultists. The opposite is also true; much of Nar-Sie's magic is more effective against Ratvar's servants.

Security and the Chaplain Generic hos.pngGeneric chaplain.png

Nar-Sie's cult is generally absent on the stations that Ratvar's servants are present, but the watchful eye of Security and heretical priests is ever-present. A tactical security raid can demolish the most well-prepared of servant hideouts, and the chaplain's holy weapon weakens the Justiciar's magic; a holy weapon is the only way to truly destroy a clockwork marauder, for instance, and holy water will purge the light of Ratvar from even the most powerful servant's mind, given time.

It should be one of the servants' top priorities to infiltrate Security. The servants can use the Break Will scripture to nullify the loyalty implants of anyone adjacent to the invoker, making the victims vulnerable for conversion regardless of their previous rank. As for the chaplain? Well, Ratvar says "Suffer not a heretic to live", so the answer should be self-evident.

Ratvar

Ratvar.gif

Once you've defended the Ark for enough time, Ratvar will come forth.

His destructive power is unmatched, turning the minds of the unenlightened and twisting the very walls to suit his image.

Few things are capable of challenging Ratvar's sheer power.

One of them is Nar-Sie.

If Ratvar and Nar-Sie encounter one another,
