#§ Scent — The Hundred Branches of the Crowd

One person's voice is small. But when one person's voice moves the hearts of a thousand, it becomes a weapon. Agitation is the art of making one's own voice the echo of the crowd.

Target specialization: believers (religion)・commoners (revolt)・public opinion (documents)・soldiers (combat) — 4 different crowds.
Difference in immediacy: immediate (religion・revolt・soldiers) vs delayed (documents). Use of campaign time.
Newly established Licensed・secret arts: the new maneuvers of the core Morale Boost・Rumor-Mongering.
Compatibility with the 1st-extension morale system: when using a 1st-extension domain campaign, adjust the morale-variation multiplier at GM discretion.
