Chroniken der leisen Zeichen
What this mod does
Chroniken der leisen Zeichen adds a lightweight omen system to RimWorld using existing vanilla incidents.
It introduces the Chronicler’s Table, a buildable furniture object that acts as a narrative anchor for atmospheric events.
The mod does not add:
Gameplay advantages
Hidden buffs or debuffs
Custom storyteller mechanics
Balance changes
Instead, it reframes certain vanilla incidents (eclipse, aurora, solar flare, psychic soothe, etc.) with subtle narrative context.
The goal is atmosphere — not power.

Design Philosophy
RimWorld already tells stories.
This mod does not try to control that system.
It simply gives certain moments a bit more presence.
If you prefer pure mechanics, this mod may feel minimal.
If you enjoy quiet narrative framing, it may fit your colony.
Planned for v1.1
Researchable Chronicler technology
Active omen interpretation
Expanded omen variations
Slightly increased narrative interaction
Optional OG AI Storyteller text support
No core mechanic overhaul planned.
Technical Notes
No Harmony required
No core overrides
Compatible with most mods
Lightweight and safe to add or remove

This is my first RimWorld Workshop release.
