In the rule The Cities and the Sea, bold the word ‘warehouse’. Add the following to the list in that rule, with the word Culture also in bold:
A Culture, which may hold any number of Tenets, defaulting to empty.
Add ‘Praxis’ to the list of Raw materials in the rule Resources. In the same rule, after ‘Add one instance of a randomly-selected’, add ‘(excluding Praxis)’.
Add the following as a new dynastic rule, called Culture and Tenets:
Each City or Capital has a Culture, which is publicly tracked, and which may only contain Tenets. A City’s Culture acts as a local ruleset that only applies to the City that owns it - any Actions that it permits may be carried out as described by that City, and any restrictions or prohibitions that it imposes must be followed by that City. Any Tenets in the Capital’s Culture apply to all Cities.
At any time, a City may expend Praxis to create a Tenet. The amount of Praxis that must be expended to create a Tenet is defined by the contents of that Tenet. Creating a Tenet is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Select a Tenet Syntax. Available Tenet Syntaxes and their costs can be found below.
* In the selected Tenet Syntax, replacing any Hooks as described in the Tenet Syntax table below, noting any additional costs.
* The resulting text - created as the Format of the chosen Tenet Syntax, with its blanks filled - is the text of the created Tenet.
* Pay the accumulated Praxis cost for the created Tenet and add the created Tenet to their own Culture.The available Tenet Syntaxes are below:

|-
!! Name !! Format !! Base Cost !! Hooks
|-
| Raw Resource Creation || 'As a timed action, every {x}, add one instance of {y} to your Warehouse.’ || 1 || {x} - A number of days between 1 and 3, with 3 costing 0 Praxis and any other value costing 5 minus the chosen number of days in additional Praxis. {y} - A Raw resource from the list in the rule Resources.
|}
Add 1 Praxis to the Warehouse of each City. Add the following Tenet to the Culture of the Capital: ‘As a timed action, every two days, add one instance of Praxis to your Warehouse’.
but I would be OK with a pass-and-fix instead if that’s what the other voters prefer.
I’m all for pass-and-fix. As Josh mentioned, this needs to be harmonized with the current Resource generation rules anyway, so maybe both could be tackled at the same time.
Doh, yeah. Withdrawn.
Josh: Capital he/they
Uff, this needed to get rid of the auto-generation already in the resources rule in the ruleset. There’s a proposal idea for someone!
