Overview
Creating a successful settlement is a race against the clock. The Queen's Impatience is this clock. Her Impatience will increase every minute. When Her Impatience reach a maximum of 14 points, you lose.
Gaining Impatience
The red bar on the bottom right is Her Impatience, it will increase by a certain amount every minute. Viceroys can see how fast it increases by hover on the skull icon.
When a Viceroy gains Impatience, they will see the Forests' Hostility go down. This is because Impatience and Hostility are linked. The higher Her Impatience, the lower Hostility goes.
Viceroys can make the Queen mad and increase Her Impatience by:
- Killing a Trader
- Calling a Trader
- Have Villagers leave or die.
- Opening a Glade when having the "Mist Piercers" or "Ancient Pact" cornerstones.
Reducing Impatience
The only way to reduce Impatience is to gain Reputation Points. A Viceroy can buy a Perk called 
Reputation Donation, which removes 0.5 more Impatience per Reputation point gained.
Slowing down Impatience
There are several ways of slowing down Impatience, these are:
- Assigning a Firekeeper from the
Humans to the Hearth. Depending on Upgrades acquired, this will slow down Her Impatience by up to 25%.
- Upgrading the Obsidian Archive in the Citadel Upgrades. Each upgrade reduces Her Impatience rate by 2%.
