Authority vs. Benefice
Authority vs. Benefice
They offer Benefice because they have decided that it is right to do so. They do not seek to lift up those beneath them, for nothing will elevate humans to the level of the Annuna. The closer one is to Anu, the more Authority one has, and that Authority is always absolute, and from this absolutist structure of Authority arises harmony, or at least, the Annuna conception of it.
Suila Innate PowerWhen speaking or issuing instructions from a position of authority (which need not be official or even acknowledged by the Scion), Trivial characters cannot offer offense or leave without being given permission to do so, nor can their Attitude go negative within your presence. In addition, when giving an order to an underling (someone who acknowledges the divine Authority of the Scion), the underling gains that Order as a Short-Term Deed, and +1 Enhancement towards carrying out that order. The Scion will know when the order has been carried out.**
Annua Motif
The decrees of the Annuna are universal, and their pronouncement miraculous.
In ancient Mesopotamia, there were many kinds of prayer, but all were highly structured, weaving praise and laments with entreaties and thanksgiving. Whether written or incanted, these prayers call upon the authority of the god or goddess to whom they are directed, and it is no different for Scions, as they too are part of the heavenly hierarchy. Elevated above mortals, they are empowered to call directly upon the divine Authority of the Annuna, and as they climb that hierarchy may even gain the right to make those pronouncements themselves.
This is particularly true of the machineries of civilization — not bureaucracies per se, which the Annuna do not trust, but in the reciprocity of power, privilege, and duty, the interaction of superior and inferior. All authority, after all, ultimately derives from the divine Authority of the Annuna, allowing their Scions to seize it for themselves as though they were born to it (which they were).

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend
Duration: Indefinite
Subject: Self
Action: Simple
All possible actions have a physical me, recording the precise and proper way of doing things. By linking her understanding of individual me together in sequence, an Annuna may intuit a perfect method with an assured chance of success.

If an Annuna fails at a roll crucial to the success of the Deed, she may accept a Consolation of success at a cost of future Complications to related rolls.
ORDAINED PURPOSE
Cost: Spend 1 Legend
Range: Short
Duration: One task
Subject: One person
Action: Simple
Long ago, Enki and Ninhursag wagered that they could find a suitable role in society for any sort of person, regardless of disability or disadvantage. With this Boon, you designate a task that you want the subject to complete. Although they are not compelled to obey, so long as they are performing that task, they ignore any Conditions (including Persistent ones and Injuries) that would impede its completion. Ordained Purpose does not resolve or otherwise remove the Condition in question, but merely makes it so that it does not present an obstacle: Someone with a broken leg could run at their full speed to deliver a message for you, but they could not stop along the way to take part in a dance competition.
TAKE THE REINS
Cost: Imbue 1 Legend
Duration: One Scene
Subject: An organization, formal or otherwise
Clash: Presence + Legend vs. Resolve + Legend
Action: Simple
You take control of an organization, displacing its immediate leader in its hierarchy — if it has no defined leader, you take control outright. All members of the organization acknowledge your authority and follow your directions as appropriate for the organization: the staff of a bank won’t spontaneously become an army at your direction, for example, but you could certainly order security to remove someone from the premises. This Boon does not function on player characters without their player’s permission.
