Dialogue[]
| “ | A legal dispute between two of your families has been settled, but rancor continues. <Plaintiff> brought a case against <Defendant> for grazing herds on land allocated to his family. As tradition demands, they took their case before three clan elders, who ruled in favor of <Plaintiff>. Two appeals, first to other elders, and then the chieftain, affirmed this ruling. Even so, <Defendant>’s family, the <Family>, continue to complain and argue. Other families now say that their bickering sows discord through the entire clan.

Consequences[]
At the start of the event, Mood goes down.
The traditional thing to do would be for the circle to stay out of this, but that risks spreading discontent. Alternatively, the people may be glad the circle followed the custom and avoided making the problem worse. If so, Mood rises.
