This mods adds a new faction: the old ones, a tribal analogue of the empire. You can earn titles and new rewards, permits, and more by giving the old ones blood, corpses, and new resources like obsidian and dreamthorn berries.

The old ones are an ancient tribe of devout religious fanatics. Worshiping old, dark gods, they take hallucinogenic dreamthorn berries, consume the flesh of their enemies, and offer blood sacrifices to the old gods. They abhor the Empire and advanced technology, worshipping instead the old, brutal gods of nature.
This mod also introduces three new resources and mechanics: the hallucinogenic dreamthorn berry; the precious resource obsidian; and the psy-enhancing shadowsilk, harvested from shadow worms.

The old ones offer a unique set of permits, which offer more flexibility than the Empire:

So enjoy hurling tornados, teleporting in skilled warriors, and opening portals to stars when the Empire come knocking.

[b]Save-game compatible if you use [url=https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2023507013]Vanilla Expanded Framework[/url]. [/b] Otherwise the new faction won't get any settlements.
If the mod is popular/gets some donations, I'll add some more content. I'd like to add more uses for obsidian, add some more creepy eldritch stuff, and probably some more quests too.
Hope you enjoy! You might like my other mods, [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3005703888]available here[/url], such as:
