Dialogue[]
| “ | Your young warrior Beren shows up severely injured. Charioteer nobles caught him, dragged him onto one of their fast-moving carts, and tried to blind him with a punishing solar blast. Then they threw him from the cart, so the rest of us could behold the shame they’d inflicted. One of his eyes has gone completely milky, but the other might be saved. Though dazed, Beren says a healer woman of the <Daughters of Vingkot Clan> clan might be able to help. | ” |

Consequences[]
Erissa priestesses can only partially restore Beren's sight; the same is true of the spirits.
If you go to the <Daughters of Vingkot Clan> as Beren requests, Redalda will persuade a priestess of Chalana Arroy to heal him. This priestess will be able to heal Beren's eyes fully, and this can be brought up as proof of divine sanction in the Redalda Proposal event.
Notes[]
This event is not guaranteed to happen, but it seems likelier to occur if you made more of a fuss after discovering the Golden Mirror.
This is a variant on Warrior Blinded.
