Envoy Forge
Preludes 13 Hotfix 5 brings our second ever Envoy Forge! Earn Fragments for the new dual Virtue Courage-Grace bow and a sharp new Sinecure blade.
New Bow: Avex

A steel-studded boundbow of Ode’n technology.
Spider wire bound tight ‘round orbiting pulleys. Clicking cranks spin with the power of planets. Sinecure hunters boast of Avex’s charged shot, powerful enough to puncture through a doe to kill the fawn behind her, with arrows so sturdy they are wielded as daggers.
Earn Fragments for this Envoy Forge from The Organ.
New Sword: Falx

The curved arcblade of a Sinecure soldier.
Three spire studs push through the sharp blade’s edge. What began as an error, molten metal seeping from the injection points of this sword’s manufacturing mould, became its finest strength, A warning of the sharp arc they precede. A glitter of starlight through the dark void of night.
Earn Fragments for this Envoy Forge from The Organ.
Enclave Favours
Enemies now drop Enclave Favours, which can be exchanged for Standing with each Enclave representative. This provides an additional way to earn favour with Enclaves!
Sinners' Strategem
A scroll containing valuable intel on Ode activities. Give this item to Lady Deora in the Silent Rose Enclave to gain favour with her faction.
Baskbulb
The ancient seed of a baskbloom tree. When fully grown, it emits beams of sun. Give this item to Avakot in Alca's Children Enclave to gain favour with his faction.
Sineculum
The personal insignia of a fallen Sinecure soldier. Give this item to Fenn Jotar in the Kith of Kings Enclave to gain favour with his faction.
Envoys can redeem Favours with any Enclave, but only an Enclave's respective Favour will reward the full amount. Redeeming a different Enclave’s Favour will grant a reduced amount of Standing (e.g., Sineculum turned in to Alca’s Children).
Envoys can only hold up to 50 of each Favour, for a maximum of 150 total.
Votive and Tale Changes
Aligned Enclave members have returned and now appear nearby upon completing a Votive Tale! Speak with them to accept new Votives, rather than needing to run to the nearest World Tree.
Tales ending in dungeons now reward double the amount of Enclave Standing.
Enclave representatives (e.g., Lady Deora) will now provide a small tutorial prompt on accessing Votives from World Trees.
Virtue and Pact Changes
Reworked the Virtue Attunement requirements of various split-scaling weapons.
Juniper: 15 Grace to 9 Grace and 7 Spirit.

Basker’s Wrest: 17 Spirit to 9 Spirit and 8 Courage.
