New Incarnate Information

Positron just revealed a whole new section to the Going Rogue website - the Incarnate System overview, lore, and Alpha Slot details!

The Overview not only gives a quick gist of the new system, but it reveals what might be the next available Incarnate Slot: The Judgement Slot, "[which grants] new upgradeable area of effect (AOE) powers." Interesting!

The Lore and Alpha Slot pages go into further detail. The Lore page consists of a conversation between Mender Ramiel and Mender Silos, with teaser information between every line. The Alpha Slot page shows in detail what new goodies you can create, and some of them are pretty awesome!
