Dialogue[]
| “ | Ghosts of your ancestors appear all across Berenstead. At first a few show up, then many. They troop around your royal hall to demand shelter and comradeship, as you would extend to any other <Player Clan>s. Throughout the valley your neighbors have been reporting a decaying of the line between the living and the dead. This must be another manifestation of that.
Follow-up if you implore them to depart: What argument do you make?

Consequences[]
If you implore them to depart and argue that "Your presence is unlawful", an unsuccessful attempt will not sway them, stating "The law you cite is no longer relevant. Now life is death and death is life"; you have to choose a new option with "implore them to depart" missing, replaced by "Welcome them," if not already available. A success, however, will have them agree to respect Humakt's boundary between life and death, even if others don't. If so, Mood improves.
If you call on spirits to lead them elsewhere, a successful result is spirits leading the ancestors away to silver caves, expressing that they may perhaps return to the halls of the dead. Mood may improve.
