Favored By The Overseer

Favored by the Overseer is a potential outcome for the Brante family at the end of the Youth phase. In this ending, the Brante family is ennobled by the sword and gains the ear of Gaius Tempest. Robert El Brante will attempt to use his new influence to improve the lives of the commoner Lot in Anizotte. If the rebellion was suppressed peacefully or sabotaged by Felipe, Gaius Tempest will share El Brante's views and cooperate. However, if the rebellion was suppressed by force, the Overseer changes his stance on commoner rights and El Brante is not able to make much progress.

 Requirements 

 Tips 
 * 1) Reputation: > 8
 * 2) Wealth: > 6
 * 3) Unity: > 3
 * 4) A Family of Means
 * 5) -OR-
 * 6) A Glorious House

The high reputation requirement for ennoblement means one should begin early and boost the house's Reputation as much as possible during the Childhood and Adolescence phases. Good relations with Stephan can help with Reputation; good relations with Lydia and Nathan help with unity. Commoners will have the least difficulty with Wealth, while clerics should be careful due to fewer opportunities for financial gain. Unsurprisingly, it is much easier to meet these requirements when pursuing a pro-imperial path.

Commoners, ironically, have the easiest path to Tempest's favor as long as they minded their family's Reputation during their younger years. The Path of the Lotless offers many opportunities for Wealth and plenty for Reputation and Unity as well. It will be necessary to marry off Gloria, but with sufficient persuasion or a strong friendship with Stephan, one can convince him to maintain ties with Gloria.

It is not possible to Unite the Family and become Favored by the Overseer, as Robert adopting Gloria results in -10 Reputation and thus Brand of Dishonor, erasing any chance of becoming Ennobled by the Sword.
