Birth of Erenlanth

Dialogue[]

“	The <king and queen/prince and his wife> proclaim the arrival of their son, Erenlanth. <The people are thankful to see that the king now has an heir./The Beren line now consists of three people: Iverlantho, Venef, and the baby, Erenlanth.> Venef, often pensive, is for once lifted into a state of pure joy. <God-talkers feel his exultation as a significant influx of magical power.> Encourage goodwill between royalists and their detractors. Celebrate the renewal of the royal line. Remind people that the royal family’s role remains largely ceremonial. Seek a blessing from Elmal. Throw a feast.	”
— Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out

Consequences[]

At start of event, Population +1.

If you celebrate the renewal of the royal bloodline, the possibility of the revival of true kingdom raises Mood.

If you remind people that the royal family’s role remains largely ceremonial, and the clan is largely realist, they will agree that they celebrate another addition to the clan, and not a change in direction; Mood rises.

Elmal’s blessing comes in the form of goods (about 20-something) rather than cattle, this time.

If you throw a feast, you must decide if it should be generous, moderate, or small in size. Feasting lowers Food but raises Mood.

Notes[]

The line about Venef's joy granting you magic (and indeed, the magic) appears only if he is your chieftain.
