There are also 5 powerful god-like beings in the Shroud called Patrons. Boons will please the Traditionalist Faction, while curses will be displeased while the modifiers last. Being successful will grant a boon, but being unsuccessful will grant a curse. If deciding it’s worth the risk, the Shroud can be a great way to gain an otherworldly edge against your alien rivals.īoons and curses are temporary empire modifiers that can be obtained via the Shroud. Each vision also has the option to exit the Shroud if the risk is deemed too great. The outcome of each vision choice is randomized. Upon entering the Shroud, the empire will receive a random vision. Accepting will reform your Empire to have an Imperial Authority, with Ethics shifting towards Authoritarian and Spiritualist, your Civics to have the Imperial Cult, Philosopher King and Aristocratic Elite, as well as the Chosen One Leader to become the new ruler if they aren’t already. If a leader in your Empire gains the Chosen One trait, then a few years later, an event will trigger where you will gain the option to reform your current Empire into a Divine Empire. Acquiring the Psionic Archive Relic can reduce this wait time to 2.5 years, allowing the Shroud to be entered twice as often. Once completed, the Shroud will be added to the Contacts menu from where it can be entered, but this can only be done every 5 in-game years and at the cost of 1000 energy credits each time. A few months after picking this perk, you will receive a special project called “Breaching the Shroud.” This project will cost you 20,000 society research points to complete. Once another slot becomes available, choosing the Transcendence Ascension Perk will make your Empire fully psionic. From here, you must then choose the Mind Over Matter Ascension Perk, which will give your Empire the Psionic Ascension Path. To access the Shroud, your Empire must first be at least somewhat Spiritual in terms of Ethics. As a cost of one of their deals with these entities, their species and empire was destroyed, with the rare strategic resource known as Zro being their only lasting legacy, a warning for all who would consider dealing with the Shroud. A psionically adept race, the Zroni were the first to ever contact the Shroud and commune with the entities that exist there. This realm was further expanded upon by introducing a new precursor empire in the Ancient Relics DLC, called the Zroni. The realm is inhabited by powerful beings of pure psionic energy that can be communed with through great effort. The Shroud is the place from where psionic species and individuals draw their power and a place where those who awakened their psionic potential could see in their dreams. One such destiny is to navigate the great and terrible forces of the Shroud, a dark realm/dimension that has existed for billions of years. Introduced as part of the Utopia DLC for Stellaris, the Ascension Paths give your empire the choice of how to evolve and shape your species’ destiny.
