Who you choose as your Advisor will decide which Tutorial Campaign is available to you. The Viscountess, naturally, represents the Cats of Parabola. The Ophidian Gentleman is a representative of the Fingerkings. Choosing one will embroil you in a war against the other. |
You may freely change Advisors at any point, even while on a campaign. Both Tutorial Campaigns will continue to be available permanently; your choice of initial Advisor determines which content you experience ''first'', but you will not be locked out of anything. | You may freely change Advisors at any point, even while on a campaign.

The formula for starting Morale is unknown; see the embedded table below for what's been collected. It is also gained, along with one {{IL|Advance!}}, on certain options (e.g. [[Host a hunt]], [[Hold a feast]]), but it is not possible to have more than 16 at any time. It can be traded with various options at a rate of 5 morale (and one action on a relatively easy stat roll) for 5 {{IL|Advance!}} (except when [[Along the Writhing River]], where it is 5 morale for 6 advance). Effectively, this means that with the morale options, you are spending 6 actions for 10 (or 11) {{IL|Advance!}}, assuming no failures. These options also don't cost items. However, failing them will add 2 {{IL|Ravages of Parabolan Warfare}}, which have to be removed by either spending actions and items, or waiting for [[Time, the Healer]]. |
If your probability of succeeding at a morale option is ''p'', then on average doing it will net you ''p'' {{IL|Advance!}}, ''p'' Morale and 2(1-''p'') Ravages, requiring 1-''p'' actions and materials worth 2(1-''p''){{e}} to clear. So accumulating 5 Morale and then spending it will on average take 5(2-''p'')+1 actions and 10(1-''p''){{e}} of materials to gain 10 (or 11) {{IL|Advance!}}. For example, if your chance of success is 100%, you'll use 6 actions for 10 (or 11) {{IL|Advance!}}, whereas a 50% chance will take about 8.5 actions and 5{{e}} for 10 (or 11) {{IL|Advance!}}. | If your probability of succeeding at a morale option is ''p'', then on average doing it will net you ''p'' {{IL|Advance!}}, ''p'' Morale and 2(1-''p'') Ravages, requiring 1-''p'' actions and materials worth 2(1-''p''){{e}} to clear.
