 Servant of Ratvar |
Access: Whatever you have Additional Access: Anyone that you can use a Spatial Gateway to get to, all-access if you have a loaded Fabricator and don't need stealth anymore Difficulty: Medium to Unwinnable Supervisors: Ratvar Duties: Make a cache, complain about not having any stuns, even though you do, make a cache, fail to kill someone who can't run, make a cache Guides: This is the guide Quote: "Ratvar is a dumb na-" "QVR, URNGUR'A!!" |
While Nar-Sie is an elder god, she is not the only one. There are other elder gods in the universe, and one in particular holds a fierce grudge against Nar-Sie: Ratvar, the Clockwork Justiciar. An amalgamation of parts, steam, and cogs, Ratvar seeks nothing more than Nar-Sie's utter annihilation. Unfortunately, his exile to Reebe - a plane of complete nothingness - makes celestial warfare somewhat difficult. To these ends, he has enslaved mortals to do his bidding and ensure the downfall of the Geometer.
Assuming you're one of those slaves, you've come to the right place.
Summary
Assuming you've had experience with Nar-Sie and their cult, you might assume that Ratvar's servants operate in a similar fashion. In this, you would be both correct and incorrect. While both cults rely on forced conversion tactics and ultimately serve their respective gods, the similarities end there. The Ratvarian cult is focused primarily on subtlety, sabotage, and base-building, whereas the Nar-Sian cult is focused on sowing chaos, paranoia, and dissent among the crew's ranks.
In addition, unlike Nar-Sie, Ratvar is capable of converting silicon lifeforms. Cyborgs and AIs are both valid targets for conversion. Converted cyborgs will have yellow eyes, visible immediately unless headlights are on (and even then a close examination reveals them), and AIs will outright turn brass-framed, be unable to speak in anything but Ratvarian, cannot be carded, can listen in through cameras, and they will not lose power as long as they are on a Clockwork Floor or near a Sigil of Transmission.
Ratvar's servants must to fulfill his will; His only goal is to escape Reebe once and for all, and to do that his servants must construct and protect the Ark of the Clockwork Justicar.
Luckily, you are not alone in this. As a servant, you have a wide variety of tools at your disposal.
The Clockwork Slab 
If you've had experience with the Nar-Sian cult, then you can think of the clockwork slab as Ratvar's equivalent of the arcane tome. However, the slab boasts superior utility, and slightly superior portability, to the tome. All initial servants start with a clockwork slab and can create more through scripture (more on that later).
The clockwork slab has five functions:
- Recital Allows you to recite and Quickbind scripture. You can also toggle to and from Recollection.
- Recollection Displays in-game documentation. You can also toggle to and from Recital.
- The Hierophant Network action button Allows discreet communication between all Servants.
- Up to Five Quickbind action buttons Allows for quickly invoking Quickbound scriptures when holding the slab. One to Four start off bound to Geis, Sigil of Submission, Replicant, and Tinkerer's Cache, respectively.
- Can be examined to see all components in the slab, plus the total components available to the slab when including the global cache.
Clockwork slabs will generate a component of a random or target type every 45 seconds(plus 15 seconds for each additional human or silicon Servant above 6), provided they're being held by a mob or are in a mob's storage. Generating a component also prevents all other slabs held by that mob from generating components; spread slabs out, don't hold multiple.
Using a slab on another slab, a person holding a slab, or a Tinkerer's Cache will transfer all components in the slab to the target slab, the person's highest-component slab, or the global cache, respectively.
Components placed in a slab will also be placed in the global cache automatically.
Every human Servant should have a slab! Slabs are key to the success of Ratvar's agenda.
New Servant Checklist
So the round started, and you're a Servant? Good! There's a few things that you should do before you begin purging all those pesky untruths. Any unfamiliar terms are covered later in the page.
- Use your slab's Hierophant Network button to alert your teammates of your rank, position, etc.
- Develop a base for your operations, preferably after coordinating on placement with other Servants - make a Tinkerer's Cache, then make a Replica Fabricator(once Scripts are unlocked) for making Clockwork Walls.
- Start expanding your ranks by forced conversion; make a Sigil of Submission nearby, then cast Geis out of sight of your target, rush at them and apply Geis for a stun and mute, then drag them off to the Sigil; do this with a partner if you can, since the partner can cast and apply Geis to the target to refresh its duration.
- Increase your component generation by handing out Clockwork Slabs, making Clockwork Walls near Tinkerer's Caches, and, once Applications are unlocked, making Tinkerer's Daemons.
- Stay in touch with your teammates via Hierophant Network, and be prepared to help them if things go south.
Components, Scripture, and CV
Servants of Ratvar don't sacrifice their own blood to use rituals. Instead, they use something called components. In a literal sense, these are parts of Ratvar's body that have rusted and fallen free during his imprisonment. Despite this, the parts hold power on their own and are utilized by Ratvar's servants to power their rites - what they call scripture. Scripture has multiple tiers; each tier is permanently unlocked after the cult's power reaches a certain point. For instance, Applications are unlocked once the cult has at least 9 servants, 100 CV worth of structures, and 3 caches.
There are five component types:
Belligerent Eyes possess the power to focus on certain things and grant malevolent sentience.
Vanguard Cogwheels are almost indestructible and serve in protection.
Geis Capacitors can manipulate the mind.
Replicant Alloy is very strong but can be melted and molded by force of will.
Hierophant Ansibles can send massive amounts of data in an instant.
Most scripture consumes a certain amount of components of a certain type. These components are drawn directly from the clockwork slab used, or from the global cache accessed by Tinkerer's Caches. The global cache can store any number of components, but scripture will prioritize drawing components from the slab used before the global cache.
When a tier of scripture is locked or unlocked, all servants will be immediately alerted.
You might be wondering, "What's CV and why do we need 200 of it? Will it kill my children?" No, it won't, but it's still important. "CV" is the abbreviation for "Construction Value", which is gained by building Ratvarian structures or turfs. For instance, the Tinkerer's Cache (an extremely important structure) grants 10 CV. It is also granted by clockwork floors and walls - which are useful in their own right - and is a required threshold to gain more powerful scripture.
Global Records
You may be thinking that this is a lot of information to keep track of; it is,and that is why you have the Global Records alert, which appears in the top left.
Mousing over that alert will show you a variety of information on the cult's status, including the number of servants, number of Tinkerer's Caches, CV, if Tinkerer's Daemons are active, if an unconverted AI exists, what Generals can be invoked, and what tiers of scripture are unlocked.

Structures, Sigils, Objects, Constructs, and Cyborgs
This is a listing of the various structures and constructs available to the Servants of Ratvar.
Structures
Clockwork Structures with effects become up to 50% less effective(at 25% of maximum Health) as they lose Health.
All Clockwork Structures can be unsecured from the floor with a wrench.

Pinion Airlocks are difficult to remove and only allow servants to pass. | 5 |
|
|
Tinkerer's Cache | 80 | Tinkerer's Caches can store any number of components, which are considered to be in a Global Cache. Provided at least one Tinkerer's Cache exists, Clockwork Slabs will draw components from the global cache after drawing the maximum they can from their own components. |
Caches will link to a nearby unlinked Clockwork Wall, which will cause it to generate an additional component every 35 seconds, plus 5 seconds for each other linked cache. | 10 |
|
|
Ocular Warden | 25 | Ocular Wardens will automatically damage a target non-Servant that can see it within 3 tiles of it. If the target has x-ray vision, it will attack them through walls. |

|
|
Prolonging Prism | 125 | Creates a Prolonging Prism, which delays the arrival of an emergency shuttle by 2 minutes when activated. It requires 3000W of power to activate, and the cost to activate it is increased by 1250W for every previous activation. |
Its activation very obviously affects the shuttle dock and leaves an obvious trail to the Prism. | |
|
|
Mania Motor | 100 | Creates a Mania Motor, which causes minor damage and a variety of negative mental effects in nearby non-Servant humans, potentially up to and including conversion. The effects will linger even if targets leave its range or the Mania Motor is turned off, though both of these things will cause the effects to fall off much more rapidly. |
Mania Motors are exceptionally good at protecting bases, as they cripple offensives and can potentially even convert some of those attacking. | 20 |
|
|
Tinkerer's Daemon | 100 | Tinkerer's Daemons will produce a component of either a chosen or random type every 7 seconds while active. It requires 50W of power to produce any component, plus an additional 50W for every 5 of the component that exists in the global cache. |

20 |
|
|
Clockwork Obelisk | 150 | Clockwork Obelisks can Hierophant Broadcast or create Spatial Gateways, and serve as a target for Spatial Gateways. Hierophant Broadcast allows the user to send a large message to all Servants, useful for coordinating. |
Two-way Gateways are both a bonus and a malus; While it can be used to rescue Servants, if someone notices the gate before it closes, they can easily follow or toss dangerous items into it. | 20 |
Sigils
Sigils, while effective as unexpected traps, are incredibly fragile and can be easily removed by any non-Servant hitting them with an item or simply striking them with an open hand.
You can stack multiple Sigils of different types on a single tile, which allows you to create conversion traps, damage traps, or damaging conversion traps.
| Image | Name | Description | Usage Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Sigil of Transgression | Sigils of Transgression are nearly invisible, and, when crossed by a non-Servant, will lock that non-Servant in place for about 7 seconds while emitting a bright flash that will temporarily blind non-servants lacking eye protection. The Sigil does not mute the target, and is immediately consumed when stunning a target. |
Try stacking a Sigil of Submission and a Sigil of Transgression for a conversion trap. |
|
|
Vitality Matrix | Vitality Matrices, when crossed by a non-Servant, will drain them of health, which fills all Matrices with Vitality, after a brief delay. When crossed by a Servant, however, it will use drained Vitality to rapidly heal them of all damage until it runs out of Vitality. It cannot do both at once. |
Use the Vitality Matrix to heal usually difficult-to-remove damage such as cloneloss. |
|
|
Sigil of Submission | Sigils of Submission, when crossed by a non-Servant, will attempt to convert them after 8 seconds if they remain on the Sigil for that time. |
Both successful and unsuccessful conversion attempts will stun and mute the target and send an announcement over the Hierophant Network. |
|
|
Sigil of Transmission | Sigils of Transmission can be activated to drain power from the nearby area and will power Clockwork Structures within 2 tiles. While active, it will drain power from APCs, SMES units, non-Servant cyborgs, and mechs occupied by non-Servants. |
When crossed by a Servant cyborg, it will attempt to recharge that cyborg. |
Objects
| Image | Name | Description | Usage Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Brass Sheets | Brass sheets can be produced directly from a Fabricator. Brass can be used to construct various brass objects or used to fuel Replica Fabricators and Sigils of Transmission. |
Brass is a useful way to create structures in places that lack objects for a Replica Fabricator to replace. |
|
|
Judicial Visor | Judicial Visors can smite areas to apply Belligerent and briefly stun. The smote area will explode after 3 seconds, doing high damage and briefly stunning. |
Judicial Visors protect from flashes. |
|
|
Wraith Spectacles | Wraith Spectacles allow True Sight at the cost of rapidly deteriorating vision. Wraith Spectacles can be worn for about a minute before they start to inflict permanent vision damage. |
Use Wraith Spectacles to quickly check if anyone is near your base before exiting. |
|
|
Clockwork Armor | Clockwork Armor provides exceptional melee armor(80%), bullet armor(70%), and bomb protection(60%) at the cost of a slight increase in laser damage(25%). | Clockwork Gauntlets provide shock protection. |
|
|
Ratvarian Spear | Ratvarian Spears are decent melee weapons that do increased damage to cyborgs and cultists. Damage done by the spear produces Vitality equal to a percentage of the damage done. |
Ratvarian Spears last for 3 minutes once summoned. |
|
|
Replica Fabricator | Replica Fabricators can be used to replace a number of objects, including floors and walls, with Clockwork variants. Replica Fabricators can also be used to repair clockwork structures and constructs at a rate of 25W power to 1 health. |
Replica Fabricators start with 2250W power and gain 12.5W per second. |
Constructs
| Image | Name | Health | Description | Playstyle Tips |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Clockwork Marauder | 300 | Clockwork Marauders exist to defend their host, and can Block attacks and may immediately Counter Blocked attacks, attacking whoever attacked them. Marauders become unable to emerge if they are forced to recall while their host is above 65% health. |
Stay close to your host; if you're directly adjacent to them, both you and they will gradually heal. Block attacks to your host whenever possible. |
Cyborgs
| Image | Module | Scripture | Other Tools | Playstyle Tips |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Standard | Judicial Marker, Linked Vanguard, Tinkerer's Cache | Ratvarian Spear, Cyborg Fabricator | You have basic construction ability, and can make a wall and cache for component production. However, your real use is in combat; Linked Vanguard allows you to charge at enemies that would normally disable you and attack them with your spear and judicial markers. |
|
Engineering | Replicant, Sigil of Transmission | Cyborg Fabricator | As you have only relatively basic tools, your use is to, more or less, create 5 layers of clockwork walls around the clockcult's base. In addition, you are capable of producing power for clockwork structures and other cyborgs. |
|
Janitor | Replicant, Sigil of Transgression, Ocular Warden, Mania Motor, Tinkerer's Daemon | Cyborg Fabricator | As a Janitor cyborg, you use is similar to an Engineering cyborg, except you create active defenses instead of passive ones. Use all of your tools to reinforce a clockcult base in conjunction with an Engineering cyborg or a helpful human Servant. |
|
Medical | Linked Vanguard, Sentinel's Compromise, Vitality Matrix, Mending Mantra, Fellowship Armory | Ratvarian Spear | As a Medical cyborg, you exist to heal and defend other Servants; with Sentinel's Compromise you are extremely able to revive allies during combat. You're a combat medic; with Linked Vanguard and Sentinel's Compromise, you are very difficult to kill or disable while attacking with your spear. |
|
Peacekeeper | Belligerent, Judicial Marker | Ratvarian Spear | You exist to fucking murder any enemies of Ratvar; with your combination of scripture, you are extremely suited to disabling and killing large numbers of enemies. |
|
Service | Replicant, Tinkerer's Cache, Spatial Gateway, Fellowship Armory, Clockwork Obelisk | Truesight Lens | As a Service borg, you exist to assist other Servants; you can hand out slabs, make caches, equip allies with armor, and create gateways to allies or obelisks. Your biggest strength is probably communication; with a Clockwork Obelisk, you can talk in extremely large text, which is wonderful for coordinating Servants. |
|
Miner | Linked Vanguard, Spatial Gateway | Ratvarian Spear, Truesight Lens | As a Miner cyborg, you're mostly defensive combat-based; you're able to avoid stuns with Linked Vanguard and your own kinetic accelerator. With your Truesight Lens, you can spot people assembling outside a clockcult base, or notice people with the Chameleon mutation fading out, allowing you to attack them before they realize you know they're there. |
Threats to the Enlightened
Although the servants of Ratvar are gifted with great power, they are still threatened by many things on the station. This can range from enemy cultists to things as simple as hard vacuum.
Nar-Sian Dogs 
The one thing that Ratvar hates more than people telling him that he has a bad name are the followers of his nemesis, Nar-Sie. Not only are Ratvar's servants incapable of converting them, but they endeavor to do the very thing that Ratvar wants to prevent: Nar-Sie's arrival into the mortal plane. The two cults are enemies of one another, serving rival gods with rival goals. As such, Ratvarian magic will be more effective against Nar-Sian cultists. The opposite is also true; much of Nar-Sie's magic is more effective against Ratvar's servants.
Security and the Chaplain 
Nar-Sie's cult is generally absent on the stations that Ratvar's servants are present, but the watchful eye of Security and heretical priests is ever-present. A tactical security raid can demolish the most well-prepared of servant hideouts, and the chaplain's holy weapon weakens the Justiciar's magic; a holy weapon makes the user totally immune to the affects of sigils, for instance, and holy water will purge the light of Ratvar from even the most powerful servant's mind, given time.
It should be one of the servants' top priorities to infiltrate Security. The servants can use the Sigil of Accession to nullify the loyalty implant of a single target and convert them. As for the chaplain? Well, Ratvar says "Suffer not a heretic to live", so the answer should be self-evident.
Ratvar
Once you've defended the Ark for enough time, Ratvar will come forth.
His destructive power is unmatched, turning the minds of the unenlightened and twisting the very walls to suit his image.
Few things are capable of challenging Ratvar's sheer power.
One of them is Nar-Sie.
If Ratvar and Nar-Sie encounter one another,
