• Assets:
  • Size 4: There are a little under a thousand Varangians on board, and crises of faith have hurt their levels of loyalty.

  • Influence 3: The Dreamers are seen as useful, but generally end up doing what the Sidereals tell them.
  • Wealth 2: The Varangians lost much in their journey north, and the caste system makes it hard for them to gain lucrative positions. Therefore, they are among the poorer peoples aboard as a group.
