RANK 1 • 1-Man Band: You've been accosted by a member of a 1-man apocalyptic cult that was formed when the ripples in the barrier appeared. You can't politely get away as he thrusts leaflet after leaflet into your hand detailing just how the world will end.
RANK 2 • Faith Buddy: Unbeknownst to you, a young Ban Om acolyte has decided that you are in need of a lot of prayer, or else are piloting a peculiar type of proselytizing. They follow you around. Everywhere. For days. Smiling. They are utterly unperturbed by yelling, threats, or anything intended to shake them off. Not a single word will pass through their lips, but after a week or two they will cease to pester you with prayer.
RANK 3 • Pennies from Heaven: You did something to please a religious organization, and they've been showering you with monetary favours. Not exactly fabulous wealth, but maybe someone from the group buys you lunch or helps you out with a particularly pricey purchase to show their thanks. • A Soupçon of Doubt: Something you said made a member of Ban Om question their own faith. For a time they were angry with you, giving you nasty looks whenever you crossed paths. Though after a week's time they leave you a note of which the gist is basically the doubt you instilled in them allowed them to think more deeply about what they believed, sought answers, and managed to strengthen their convictions. There's a pretty tortoiseshell hairpin in the envelope as a gift.
RANK 4 • Fortune Favors The Perch: A mottled-winged butterfly, long considered to represent good fortune since its wings are patterned in a very similar manner to that of a turtle shell, alights on you after taking off from one of the kedan spirit houses. As long as you don't wave it off, it will stay with you for several hours, wandering over your shoulders and arms before taking a liking to one of your ears. Ban Om witnesses to this event, particularly the kedan, will offer you trinkets instead of leaving them in the spirit house. None of it is worth anything, but there's an air about you that garners goodwill all month.
RANK 5 • Gifts from the Great Turtle: A care package of your favorite treats (some of which are from your home and can't be found in Aifaran) is left at your door without a 'from' address, and features a curiously decorated tag: a feather on one side, and a turtle on the other.
