Polynesian missions

Naval missions

Mission	Completion requirements	Effects	Prerequisites
Oceanic People No matter what the Polynesian people call home, one thing they all have in common is a spiritual connection with the sea. Sailing is often seen as a sacred tradition, and in some societies the sailor's canoe is seen as an extension of his own body, and in even more extreme cases the canoe is seen to have Mana or a soul of its own and is sovereign and sacred among all things.

Polynesian Triangle The Polynesian Triangle refers to the area of the Pacific Ocean inhabited by the Polynesians. The tips of the triangle refers to Hawaii, the west corner to Aotearoa, and the east corner to Rapa Nui. Polynesian traders and voyagers alike would utilize the Polynesian Triangle to engage in trade, exploration, and colonisation. The native Polynesians would actually refer to this region as an octopus, representing the various invisible pathways that navigators would follow along the sea. This octopus has various names in Polynesian societies including Taumata-Fe'e-Fa'atupu-Hau or Grand Octopus of Prosperity referring to the great riches that exploration and trade would bring to their society.

Gain Mana Mana is roughly equivalent to the Western expression of a soul or spirit. But, Mana is also the measure of a man's prestige and piety, and an honourable man is seen as possessing a lot of Mana while a lesser member of society is seen as being shallow in Mana. In some societies, someone who is dedicated to prayer and the accumulation of Mana can gain the favour of the gods and request them to perform tasks such as changing the weather or bringing islands out of the ocean. It's from this that the west's mistake of equating Mana with Magic has come from.
