Dialogue[]
| “ | Plant people called elves rampage through your planted fields. A strange bone-white powder trails behind them. You can already tell it’s poisoning your crops. Naturally you send your warriors to drive them off. The marauders melt away into the wooded area near your lands. What now?

The last option is not always available.
Consequences[]
This event inflicts crop stress, which will remain unless you remove it with earth magic.
If you successfully reverse the blight, you remove the crop stress and Mood may rise.
Elves are hard to find, so an all-out attack may be likely to fail. Success, however, will see their nest burnt down and Mood improved to relatively few casualties. If elves are your ancestral enemies then your ancestors will aid your endeavors for a while.
