Dialogue[]
| “ | A group of wandering Yinkin worshipers, who you have had positive dealings with in the past, come to you, tormented by grief. "Our god, Yinkin, cat-brother to Orlanth, was slain by Chaos! <Teghern threw him to the ground with his trunks, then rolled over onto him, crushing him/Krarsht cloaked herself in the Storm God's scent and tore Yinkin apart with crustacean claws>. Without our god, our lives mean nothing. Please give us permission to die on your ritual ground, where Yinkin once chased ghosts away."

Consequences[]
At the start of the event, Mood goes down.
If you allow it, granting them magic to bring to Yinkin in the dead realm, you must decide how much magic to give. The people may accept that the mission of the Yinkini did not end with their deaths, no less than Orlanth's did, and accept this sacrifice with stoicism. One of you, likely a Humakti, will be the one finish off the leader of their band (Humakti are likely to be chosen because they have formally severed all kinship ties, so there is no risk of kinstrife if they perform the deed). You lose some Magic, but Mood might rise.
If you tell them "You were tricked by Chaos. Yinkin still lives," they invite you to take part in a rite to prove it. You may say Yes or No to this. If you say Yes then your god-talker, while invoking Yinkin's presence, may be able to tell right away that he was indeed slain by Chaos. If so, Mood decreases, and you get another chance Allow or Refuse the rite. If you now Refuse, the Yinkini may admit that it was indeed a lot to ask, but say they will return to make the request of a ritual slaying at a time then your clan has come to terms with Yinkin's death.
In any case, the wandering Yinkini events (Yinkini Offer Blessing, Yinkini Praise Noble and Yinkini Chase Away Fear) will no longer happen in this playthrough.
