Blessings and prayers

Third Horizon culture: Icons

Checking on the Coriolis Discord, I read that the publishers are OK with players recreating tables, figures and data from the RPG source material where the only purpose is the facilitation of playing their game and I hereby promise this is my only intent with this article. The 'origins' First-come and Zenithian are from the Coriolis RPG, as are the names and stats of clothing and recreational substances; everything else is my own content - Doctor Weather
In cases where you're not sure what to say, there are generic blessings that are always welcome and appplicable.   There are also Icon-specific blessings that are usually used when you know someone well, or have come to know them through a conversation, and you want to acknowledge the situation they're in. These are often used to wish people well when parting company.
