This article contains major spoilers for COUNTER/Weight and PARTIZAN. Tread carefully!

Zeal, Ambition, or Future is a Divine shaped like a golden orb. It's slightly larger than a softball or bocce ball and can either be carried by or hover around a chosen person. It offers its chosen unparalleled perspective on the hopes and dreams of themselves and others, and the endless vigor with which to pursue them.[1]

History and Involvement

COUNTER/Weight

Zeal first appears when it is auctioned off at a costume ball on Counterweight just before the reemergence of Rigour. Mako steals it from the auction and gives it to Orth, and it takes on the name Ambition. Orth and Ambition work together to prevent Rigour's victory.

Discovery recognizes Zeal as a version of Rigour with its violent logic replaced by the emotional equivalent of a call to action; in that way, it is akin to Righteousness.

PARTIZAN

Future is a Stel Columnar Divine. It was stolen from Myosotis by Gur Sevraq, who uses it to think past the confines of imperial imagination.

After Sevraq falls from Icebreaker, it is recovered (along with his body) by the Curtain and Stel Nideo. They are holding Future while they make some of the propaganda speeches arranged by their captors.
