Patronage + bounded service / disclosed tempo

Council Charter

Give one sovereign House the studios, rituals, and permanent works that make it recognizable across Bellwether, or build a personal authorship record that follows you between offices. A separate Command Office handles repetitive civilian administration without changing costs or action limits; direct services disclose their exact convenience or tempo limit before purchase.

Personal civilian operations

Command Office

Set a small number of non-adaptive routines for peaceful administration and keep an auditable record of what was submitted. Automation never reacts to hidden information and cannot touch combat, espionage, markets, or claims.

3active routinesPeaceful civilian orders only
6submissions / day18 maximum weekly
0extra actionsNormal costs, limits, and clock

Routines pause during an active battle. They cannot branch on live intel, accelerate resolution, transfer value, or produce a random paid outcome.

No bonus powerPaid service adds no bonus resources, units, action capacity, hidden intel, or outcomes.
Services stay boundedEvery request declares its target, eligible phase, cadence cap, and battle lock.
Value stays closedGrants are deterministic, nontransferable, and never redeemable for money.

The bounded service desk

Buy back attention within hard limits.

Each direct-price request performs one deterministic administrative service. Its eligible phase, target, and cadence are part of the offer. An ineligible request stays unused rather than becoming a different product.

Guarded immediate reentry

Guarded Frontier Reentry
