The Church
Trust tiers, NPC gift lines, the war table — and the undercroft door.
The hub layer. Trust ranks verified on the Sept 2 build; NPC quest outcomes are [RECON] where single-sighted. The table's planning bonuses are community-aggregated.
The refuge layer
The church is your refuge between missions: upgrades, NPC bonds, and the war table where you plan the next expedition. The table previews mutations and rewards — this site's mission pages are built to mirror it. Full NPC trust is one of the hidden boss triggers.
Three trust tiers
Sworn
I
Base tier. Unlocks: forging, potions, the war table.
Vigilant
II
40+ cumulative trust. Unlocks: power respec, mutation lock (ban one from your pool), NPC personal lines.
Moonlit
III
100+ cumulative. Unlocks: the undercroft ([RECON] hidden boss gate), changed vigil dialogue, a true-ending flag.
NPC gift lines
The Blind Forge-Sister
Weapon upgrades. Trust: +1 per demon relic gifted; max unlocks the Reaper's [RECON] enhancement branch.
Brother Ash
Potions. Trust: return intact flora samples; max unlocks double-potion without the HP-cap cost.
The Cartographer
The war table. Trust: exploration; max reveals hidden mutations on previews — the source of this site's tables.
The Vigil Captain
Main story. Trust: quest choices; max + moonless night + Reaper = [RECON·pending] the undercroft door.
Everyone who sold relics for potions is re-grinding trust in chapter three.
