Loyalty or abilities can unlock additional assets. Assets come in tiers from 0 to 3. You always start with 3  tier 0 assets and can gain any number during play. If you gain a slot for an asset (such as going up a power level or increasing an ability) you choose the asset during your next respite. During play you can acquire any number of assets, and assets of any tier. However you may also lose assets. If an asset is provided by an ability, mastery, or a loyalty that you still possess then it is automatically replaced during your next respite.

Assets are special resources you have access to. Anything that you might gain or lose can be an asset. The most common assets are items of equipment, but intangibles like friendships, social rank, or special knowledge can count. You have a set number of assets depending on your power level. Loyalty unlocks additional assets, and some abilities offer extra assets. Assets come in tiers. Tier 0 is for fleeting assets. You always start with 3 of these and can gain any number during play, but at each respite you may keep only three. Tier 1 assets are more powerful, but only have a limited number of permanent slots. A tier 2 asset is even more powerful, but fills 2 of your slots instead of one. A tier 3 asset is unique and wondrous, and fills 3 of your slots instead of one. When you gain an asset slot that isn't filled, during your next respite you may choose what will fill it. If you manage to gain assets beyond what your slots support during play you do not lose them, but you don't automatically choose new assets until you have empty slots again. The assets provided by your loyalties are in addition to these slots.

During play you can acquire any number of assets, and assets of any tier. However you may also lose assets. If an asset is provided by an ability, mastery, or a loyalty that you still possess then it is automatically replaced during your next respite.
