# Discovery components

This is a source-bound acquisition record for the *Ecaz & Moritani* Discovery
variant. It records identities and values needed by an implementation; it does
not reproduce card prose or artwork.

## Sources and method

- **EM rules:** Gale Force Nine's publisher-authored *Ecaz & Moritani*
  rulebook, [retailer-hosted PDF mirror](https://gamers-hq.de/media/pdf/0f/7a/86/Dune_EcazMoritani_Rulebook_EN.pdf).
  Page 4 establishes seven Spice Cards and eight Discovery tokens. Pages 12–13
  establish the common card procedure, Great Maker behavior, the two token
  types, all eight token names and their effects. The

  not a fan rules implementation.
- **Sector indexing:** territory names and token types are printed as text on
  the card faces. Numeric sectors below are visual transcriptions of each
  highlighted card wedge, checked against the GF9 board image on the original
  designers' [Dune core page](https://futurepastimes.com/dune-board-game)
  ([board image](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5627edd5e4b0e42d8c948a6a/1658421042495-X385VWK17DPR8B5SX6E8/Dune%2BCore%2BGallery_0004_Background.jpg)).
  Numbering starts with the printed Storm Start wedge in Meridian as sector 1
  and continues counterclockwise. No repository or fan implementation supplied
  these identities.

## Seven Discovery Spice Cards

Every territory card places six spice in its spice destination. The special
blow removes any spice and forces already there, then places a random
face-down token of the printed type at the separate token destination.

| Printed card | Spice destination | Discovery token destination | Token type |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Hagga Basin | Hagga Basin, sector 12 | Gara Kulon, sector 8 | Hiereg |
| Rock Outcroppings | Rock Outcroppings, sector 13 | Meridian, sector 1 | Hiereg |
| Sihaya Ridge | Sihaya Ridge, sector 9 | Cielago East, sector 3 | Hiereg |
| Wind Pass North | Wind Pass North, sector 17 | Plastic Basin, sector 13 | Smuggler |
| Funeral Plain | Funeral Plain, sector 15 | Pasty Mesa, sector 7 | Smuggler |
| Old Gap | Old Gap, sector 10 | False Wall West, sector 17 | Smuggler |
| Great Maker | No territory or sector | No Discovery token | Special sandworm |

Great Maker resolves the usual sandworm removal in the last spice territory,
then players vote in storm order on whether a Nexus occurs; a strict majority
is required. Afterward, Fremen may ride using any number of reserve forces,
subject to normal storm and occupancy restrictions. A Karama that kills Fremen
forces in the affected territory does not cancel that reserve ride.

## Eight Discovery tokens

The first five entries are persistent location tokens. A revealed location is
a territory nested inside its surrounding territory, admits at most two
factions, can be shipped into at stronghold cost, and protects occupants from
storm and sandworm effects. The last three resolve or become a carried benefit
and are removed as stated.

| Printed token | Type | Verified functional identity |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Jacurutu Sietch | Hiereg location | Counts as a normal stronghold; its battle winner receives one spice per opposing undialed force sent to the Tanks. |
| Cistern | Hiereg location | An occupant gains two spice during Spice Collection. |
| Ecological Testing Station | Hiereg location | An occupant may alter storm movement by one in either direction during the Storm phase; Weather Control is unaffected. |
| Shrine | Hiereg location | An occupant may use Truthtrance as Karama or Karama as Truthtrance. |
| Orgiz Processing Station | Smuggler location | During Spice Collection, an occupant takes one spice from every spice blow that is collected. |
| Treachery Card Stash | Smuggler one-shot | Gain one Treachery Card; at the hand limit, gain first and then discard any card. Remove the token. |
| Spice Stash | Smuggler one-shot | Gain seven spice from the bank, then remove the token. |
| Ornithopter | Smuggler carried/one-shot | Take the token; on a later turn it gives movement three for one movement action, then is removed. |

Face-down Hiereg tokens may be inspected privately by Fremen at any time;
face-down Smuggler tokens have the equivalent Spacing Guild privilege. Other
factions with non-advisor forces at the token may inspect it during Spice
Collection and choose whether to reveal it.

## Explicit limits

- All 15 requested identities (seven cards and eight tokens), the six card
  placements, and the Hiereg/Smuggler classifications are resolved.
- The territory names are directly legible text. The sector numbers are a
  visual reading of the printed highlighted wedges because the card sentence
  names the destination territory but does not print its sector number.
- No second independent physical scan of the Great Maker face or the eight
  token faces was found in this bounded pass. Their identities and behavior are
  verified from the publisher-authored rulebook only.
- Card backs, token backs beyond the two type backs pictured in the rulebook,
  dimensions, exact color, and artwork are not acquired or certified here.
