Dialogue[]
| “ | Chanla, an elder woman of your clan, tells you that she vividly dreamt of the Golden City, legendary home of your forebears. They fled from it generations ago to escape the oncoming glacier. In her dream, the ice has receded, and the Hyalorings can now return to their ancestral home. Others say this is impossible. She wants the clan circle to send a shaman there in spirit form, to confirm that what she has dreamt is true.

Consequences[]
Attempting to lower people's expectations may work, but sometimes they will not want to hear anything but wholehearted support of the vision. In any case, Nivorah will prove to be covered in ice and unrecognizable.
If you send a shaman, even a successful ritual will only reveal an answer no one wants to hear. You lose 1 Magic and Mood decreases.
