The Mysterium are the guardians of knowledge among the Awakened. While others may collect lore and artifacts on their own, the Mysterium have the lion's share in their collections—and encourage you to contribute yours for safe-keeping, and the betterment of the collective knowledge.

While some may spend a lot of time delving into ancient crypts and vaults and crossing faraway jungles and deserts to unearth the secrets hidden within, all of them are at heart scholars who do what they do for the pursuit and advancement of knowledge.

Sympathy

On your turn, choose 1 or both:

• [Name] totally scooped you on a discovery you were really excited to present, and you hold a grudge to this day. Tell them -2.
• [Name] provided you some information that was very valuable to your research. Tell them +1.

Tell everyone else =0—you're more invested in your studies than in people, but you don't go out of your way to avoid people.

On the others' turns:

• Decide which character your think is the smartest. Take whatever they tell you and give it a +1.
• For everyone else, write down what they tell you next to their name.
