Supremacy: The Dawn Machine is a Sunless Sea story that measures the extent of the Dawn Machine's power in the Neath.

Description

"UN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE S"

Obtaining

Supremacy: The Dawn Machine is increased by the following actions, all at the  Grand Geode unless stated otherwise:

• +3, by selling the  Memento Mori.
• +2, by creating the Dawn's Law.
• +1, by purchasing an  Element of Dawn.
• +1, with 30% chance, by turning in  Vital Intelligence to The Voracious Diplomat in London.
• +1, only if currently at 0, by sailing off the edge of the map to the West, beyond the Dawn Machine.
• +1, only if currently ≤ 2 and you own an  Element of Dawn, by crossing The Diamond Bridge in Frostfound.
• +1, by delivering the final delivery of  Sphinxstone to the Grand Geode instead of London after accepting  The Bright-Eyed Sequencer's request in London.
• +1, by handing over more than one  Element of Dawn to The Alarming Scholar in London.
• +1, by handing an  Element of Dawn to fulfill one of the Fathomking's requests when pursuing your Father's Bones.

Note that currently there is no way to decrease Supremacy: The Dawn Machine, so choose the above actions carefully.

Effects and Consequences

• Supremacy: The Dawn Machine - TRIUMPHANT triggers the event The New Sequence upon returning to London (so long as no other faction's Supremacy is already 10).
  • Subsequently completing the game or perishing will grant the player the legacy item The Horizon Codex, which grants new captains in that lineage +25 x Pages
• Should the player ever increase the Supremacy: The Dawn Machine to stage 7, Supremacy: The Dawn Machine - TRIUMPHANT, The Dark-Spectacled Admiral in London will become unavailable. That means the player can no longer turn in Port Reports, or collect commissions for Strategic Information. The Voracious Diplomat does not replace the Admiral for these duties.

Quality status

Supremacy: The Dawn Machine has different statuses according to your actions, defined by the comment in front of the quality.
