The Ministry of Mammon

Everything has a price. Everyone can be bought. Everything is owned. The doctrines of the Chancellor, Exarch of Matter, tell them that wealth is a god ever-devoured by scarcity. Executors balance deity and devil, setting the fortunes of individuals and nations.

The maverick would be usurper, closing on the staggering Hegemonic Ministry^[1], Mammon’s Seers prefer Sleepers who work with and encourage the reliance upon and proliferation (though not necessarily spread) of material wealth. Fortunately for them, they’ve got very nearly the Fallen World’s entire population to work with. That said, Mammon Seers prefer to employ those Sleepers who can enhance their own profits, while pushing systems of valuation upon various commodities, whether tangible or ephemeral. The most powerful and thriving industries draw servants of the Chancellor like flies to carrion — oil, tobacco, technology, diamonds, and such — as do the Sleepers involved and invested in such industries. Illegal vice trades are also vast economies unto themselves and attract the attention of such Seers, who pick up Sleeper servants at all stages of the process. Naturally, Mammon is also in the process of seizing global banking from Hegemonic and all of its ancillary industries (which are numerous, indeed), and it also actively recruits Sleepers as servants from all of these fields.

As theocracies and corporate interests rise ascendant over political interests, many within the Pyramid whisper that the 21st century will be the last with Hegemony as a Great Ministry and that the Chancellor will arise as a new Archgenitor.

Prelacy

The Chancellor (Mammon and Pantechnicon) grants the Crown of Scarcity^[2]. The player may substitute the Availability of equipment or services for any dice or damage bonus she would normally receive from that source. Also, by spending a willpower when regaining Mana, the mage renders that individual source of Mana inert, preventing anyone else from gaining Mana from it for her Matter dots in days.
