Orders of Thrive

Historical Details

Background

The Orders of Thrive got written in 1200 AS as an attempt of the freshly elevated pantheon, after retreating their influence to the new country of Etherium, to guide their citizens to be as productive and the best they can be; by advancing those, who turned their back from the corruptive influence of the Veil, beyond any other country.

With the concepts of Thrive getting ratified as an official document by the now established theocracy in 2000 AS, Etherium finally opened its borders again to the rest of the world.

Public Reaction

The document had a massive influence on the public order of Etherium.
At the time of its ratification the technological state of Etherium was only slightly above the remaining world's technological state.
The chance to work with their gods' knowledge, however, thrived many inventors to new heights and rendered their experiments way more reckless and risk-taking to appease lady Notitia .
The following centuries Etherium got laughed at having some of the whackiest and unsafe inventions of all time, but this experimental thrive helped the country afterwards, as later inventors took those whacky out-of-the-box experiments turning them into actual working gadgets. Notitia's company Not Inc. elevated Etherium to peak technology state.
Suddenly the whacky county was no more and got replaced by the high-tech country Etherium, whose tech was asked in the entire world.

Legacy

In 2500 AS the Orders of Thrive got restructured into the holy writings of the Followers of Strife, being from that time on the most-read papers of all time reflecting on the legacy of Etherium.

Orders of Thrive

Reduced version of the Orders of Thrive:

---

1. Order:
Be original. Observe the market with a keen eye and pinpoint the aspects that are underrepresented, but have a certain demand. Take risks!

2. Order:
Be irreplaceable for the market. Make yourself important by creating a demand for your products. Invent foundation technology, that others need for their projects.
Create something that sells well to fund your more elaborative experiments.

3. Order:
Be efficient. Spotted a product that does a job, but is too slow/weak? You can do that better. Take the idea, optimize it and sell it.
Be prepared that others will attempt the same. Use the short boost in your economics for the next step.

4. Order:
Be the first. Inventing something new and earning a patent for it helps your finances in a long run. Allow others to use your patent in exchange for holdings.
Earn money by doing nothing.

5. Order:
Be special. Every inventor has a special project that he dreams of completing one day.
Even if this project had already a breakthrough, wait and optimize it until you can present it to the big league.
The annual Science Fair will be the perfect place for such an endeavour. Render yourself immortal by stealing the show in this exclusive event.

6. Order:
Be faithful. If you happen to earn my attention, consider yourself honoured.
We search all the time for promising candidates to expand our roster of the best scientists of Etherium.
Be a part of Not-Inc. and invent for our all good.
I, Notitia, can’t await to include you, yes I mean YOU!
