Mechanimist convert
Mechanimist converts are creatures who have abandoned their original faction to join the Mechanimists. One is guaranteed to appear in the player's starting village, while others are dynamically generated in the Stiltgrounds and throughout the world. When a convert is generated, they may be any creature which is capable of appearing in dynamic encounters, regardless of zone tier and whether that creature would ordinarily appear in the area. All converts will carry a copy of The Canticles Chromaic, Verses XVII-XXIV and have modified dialogue to reflect their faith.
Starting Village Converts
The player's starting village will always contain a single predefined convert, who will give the player the quest O Glorious Shekhinah!. Depending on the player's starting village, there are four variants of this convert:
- watervine farmer and Mechanimist convert can be found in Joppa, or starting villages in the salt marsh.
- pig farmer and Mechanimist convert can be found in desert canyons starting villages.
- cannibal and Mechanimist convert can be found in hills starting villages.
- Issachari raider and Mechanimist convert can be found in salt dunes starting villages.
They are largely the same, but have minor differences in stats, description, and dialogue.
