Why Southern Cross?

We swear by the Southern Cross to stand truly by each other and fight to defend our rights and liberties.

That oath was taken by hundreds of diggers calling themselves the Ballarat Reform League in 1854 at the Eureka Stockade. Their rallying flag was the distinctive Southern Cross. It was a short but significant colonial revolt that captured public imagination.

The confrontation went a bit like this...

A bunch of grubby, bearded gold-diggers yell at some uniformed British government officials, doing the rounds... "Hey mate, these mining taxes are bloody too much! Give us a break, or we'll kick your dunny down." The crowd mutters, waving the Eureka Flag and assorted munitions: "yeah", "shove over", "you're meanies", "fair deal for diggers", "go home rummies". As army marches up from the barracks down the road in formation and advances on the motley crowd, one of the soldiers mutters to his chum, "umm, you know - they do have a point".

The ringleaders were captured and tried for high treason - but in the face of the ten thousand people that came to hear the trial the colonial authorities had little choice. The jury voted "not guilty" and the sudden gust of jubilation turned into a massive street party. Within a year the government had granted all but one of their demands, including the right to vote (goldfields representation) and the repeal of the mining tax. The key ringleaders ended up in politics.

Why Ursa Major? If the Southern Cross is the most well known constellation in the southern hemisphere, then Ursa Major or the big bear holds that honour for the northern hemisphere. It is the most visible constellation (it includes the Big Dipper) and a source of thousands of myths in many cultures.

However, for the truly geeky, Ursa Major (Mikhail Uriokovitch Ursus) is a also a fictional character. He's a mutant in the Marvel Comics universe, and a former member of the Soviet Super-Soldiers. While transformed, Ursa Major possesses superhuman strength, stamina and resistance to physical injury, and can even beat The Hulk, believe it or not!

Leavened Bread

PART 1: VISIONS

Kahoptep chooses "Begin the Ritual of Leavened Bread" under his/her Tests/Test of Leavened Bread menu. Any player opens a barrel of beer. Players 1-5 in order drink a cup of beer from the tasting table. It does not matter which cups you use - only that the players drink in sequence, 1 through 5.

• Kahoptep does the "Command Me from Heaven" emote and says in Main:

Bless us oh god as we humbly seek your wisdom

• cate does the "Take My Blood" emote and says in Main:

We ask for your blessings on this home and its generous proprietor

• toothless does the "Show Me Mercy" emote and says (in Main):

We ask that you bless us all your humble servants

• Karush does the "Enter My Soul" emote and says (in Main):

Reveal to us your spirit and wisdom and how we might please you

• Rebecca does the "Share My Joy" emote and says (in main):

Guide us in preparing our day's bread to fortify and enlighten us and our brethren and to earn your blessings

POPUP VISIONS APPEAR

• Kahoptep learns the name of the GOD to whom the prayers in the second part of the ritual must be addressed.
• cate learns the ADDITIVE (such as aromatic honey) that must be added to the bread. One of each (and 5000 wheat) is needed per loaf.
• toothless learns the type of BEER needed and the SEASON of wheat needed and MOISTENER (such as coconut milk). Only 1 barrel of this beer is needed.
• Karush learns the ACTIVITY to perform (such as cooking a meal or digging a hole). There should be two activities and the emotes to perform.
• Rebecca learns the type of BENEFACTOR to give bread to after it is baked (this will be something like "Recent Initiates of Thought").

PART II: BAKING

Kahoptep – names must be spelt right and case sensitive:

Oh Shu, we ask you to bless Kahoptep
Oh Shu, we ask you to bless cate
Oh Shu, we ask you to bless toothless
Oh Shu, we ask you to bless Karush
Oh Shu, we ask you to bless Rebecca

Breadbaking ritual

• 1. cate drops an emir mortar, make it public, on the ground and builds a bonfire of exactly 105 wood near it.(Other players shouldn't touch the emir mortar, until they have to, otherwise, they'll pick it up at this point.)
• 2. cate adds PERET wheat (5000 per loaf) to this single mortar. All the wheat used goes into *one* mortar.
• 3. toothless adds MOISTENER WATER IN JUG(1 per loaf) and BREAD BEER (1 barrel total no matter how many loaves) to the mortar.
• 4. cate adds the AROMATIC HONEY (1 per loaf) to the mortar.
• 5. cate lights the bonfire.
• 6. When the wood gets down to about 30, Kahoptep pastes the five prepared lines one by one into Main. The text must appear between 2 minutes and 0 minutes before the fire runs out of wood.
• 7. When the fire reaches 0 wood, cate moves the emir mortar to the bonfire. This is a menu option on the mortar. The mortar will move visibly, although it may not actually reach into/under the fire.
• 8. Once the mortar has been moved to the fire, Rebecca must stoke. Each time the fire reaches 0 wood, add 1 wood and 1 water to the bonfire until the bread is baked.
• 9. During the stoking phase, Karush performs the FILLS JUGS, HARVESTS LEEKS as mentioned in the vision. Some of these activities may require the assistance of another group member who isn't otherwise occupied. Then emotes: Command HEaven, Show mercy, Take Blood, Enter Soul, Share Joy
• 10. cate will get a clear notice (popup) when the bread is ready. (This can actually happen before Karush has completed his/her activities.)
• 11. cate removes the bread from the fire and double-check in inventory that it says "holy" bread.
• 12. cate builds a second bonfire of 10 wood, lights it, and sacrifices one of the breads on the bonfire.
