==Chirality==
==Chirality==
Adding accomplishments to the journal (excluding discovering the starting village or turning in books) or even leveling up will cause both of them to flicker. They will start to randomly wander around independently of the player for 8-20 turns. After these turns are up, one of 11 random effects will occur, each with equal probability. Note that in every effect, the activated pet will disappear in a harmless puff of smoke for the zone. If the player character changes zones, they will respawn. If both are affected, they both will disappear.
Adding accomplishments to the journal (excluding discovering the starting village or turning in books) or even leveling up will cause both of them to flicker. They will start to randomly wander around independently of the player for 8-20 turns. After these turns are up, one of 11 random effects will occur, each with equal probability. This effect is seeded from the total number of turns taken in game. Note that in every effect, the activated pet will disappear in a harmless puff of smoke for the zone. If the player character changes zones, they will respawn. If both are affected, they both will disappear.


Whoever triggers the effect depends on the current number of total game turns taken. If the total amount of turns is odd, it will be {{#var:either}}. if the amount of turns is even, it will be {{#var:or}}. If there is only one of them in the zone, it will always be either. This means that if there is only {{#var:or}} for whatever reason, chirality will never be triggered. {{#var:or}} will still flicker, but nothing will come of it.

===Possible Effects===
===Possible Effects===
Some effects can only occur if the one that has chirality is {{#var:either}}, and some requires both. If an effect is chosen and {{#var:or}} is the one activated or there is only one of them when the effect requires a pair, nothing will happen and they will not disappear. This essentially means that for every choice that requires either, there is a 50% chance for nothing to actually happen.
Some effects only affects either {{#var:either}} or {{#var:or}}, and some requires both. If an effect is chosen and there is only one of them when the effect requires a pair, nothing will happen and they will not disappear.


This is taken to account when calculating chance. There is no chance column for only {{#var:or}} because or will never have any effect occur by themselves. Chances with no effect will still cause the activated pet to explode.
