## Change to Format

* **The Spy -** The spy was a mechanic introduced on floor 2. The Pharoh would pick one player to enter the catacombs as the spy. The spy would be immune from elimination but couldn't vote. In the case of a tie the spy would converse with the Pharoh and the Pharoh would break the tie.

## Twists

### Opening Twists

* **Fans vs Favorites -** For the first time in The Pyramid history, 13 alumni would come to play again against 13 newbies.
* **Guilds -** Players would be separated into one of four guilds, each one having a special power.

	+ **The Valantry -** When members of the Valantry receive quests from the deities, they can choose to replace one of them with a new one. At the start of every episode, if their honor is higher than it was at the previous episode, they will earn an advantage for the next pharaoh challenge. They start the game with 10 honor.
	+ **The Paladins -** Paladins start the game with a Shield Shard that can be used to save them if it is combined with another shield. These Shield Shards refresh at the start of floor 2 and floor 3. Additionally, Paladins will receive 1 less vote cast against them in sacrificial ceremonies on floor 1 and 2.
	+ **The Exalted -** Exalted players can opt to either have an extra vote cast against them or to discard their eligible vote to get an extra vote the next time they are eligible to vote. This cannot be used in back-to-back ceremonies, or beyond the final 6. Once on each floor 1, 2, and 3, they can opt to sit out of a Pharoh challenge to choose one player. If their player of choice places in the top 2, the chooser will be immune for the current episode.
	+ **The Faceless -** Faceless have an extra vote, but it is cast randomly between two targets of choice. Whoever is the last faceless standing, or the one with the lowest honor at floor 3, will gain a steal a vote advantage that they can use freely for the rest of the game. The Faceless start the game with -10 honor.
* **Honor System -** The honor system will come into play throughout the game. Raiders that vote correctly receive 3 honor, if they vote incorrectly they lose 3 honor. Players can also gain honor by doing the deities tasks.

### Floor 1

* **Duo Raider -** After the first vote of the season it was revealed the two players with the most votes from each group (Fans and Favorites) would become one player. They will win and be sacrificed as a team.
* **Hiding from Plain Sight -** The raider who found this advantage may use it up until the final 12 where it will remove the raider from danger.

### Floor 2

* **The Sword in the Stone -** In the catacombs of floor two there will be a sword in the stone. Anyone down in the catacombs can attempt to pull it, and if that Raider, amongst the group in the catacombs, has the highest honor level would receive immunity for that round. However, if they do not have the highest level, the raider would lose their vote and have an extra vote against them.

### Auction Items

* **Suit of Armor -** Once on floor 2, after any challenge, but before the Pharoh makes their decision about who is safe, the raider can use this to be a guaranteed pick for safety.
* **Assassins Cloak -** Once at any time throughout floor 2, when they are saved from the catacombs by the current Pharoh, this raider may use this item to sneak into the catacombs. They will not be able to talk to anyone, in order to remain undetected, but they will get to watch what happens in the main chat and cast a vote.
* **Righteous Sword -** Crowns the raider that won it the Pharoh that episode.
* **Lucky Coin -** The raider that wins the lucky coin will get to throw it in a well and make a wish. This will give them either +10 or -10 honor.

### Traveling Deities

* **Immunity -** The Guild with the best average score will be able to visit the traveling deities. Each one offers a different quest that changes each episode/visit. The first person to complete all 3 quests will be granted full immunity for the current episode.
	+ **Bael, The Valient -** This deity offers quests that improve the raiders honor but at the cost of something else in their game.
	+ **Ragnar, The Virtuous -** This deity offers quests that don't offer as much honor but are easier and don't have intended negative effects.
	+ **Hokam, The Vile -** This deity lowers your honor and will force the raider to hinder, punish, or ostracize other raiders.

## Episode Guide

* Due to Aura and Trent becoming one Raider there will be a \* to indicate that there is technically plus one Raider.
