Dialogue[]
“ | Plant creatures, also known as elves, come to your clan asking for assistance. Using the trade language, they haltingly explain that they have lost crucial fertility. They want you to perform a restorative ritual, calling on your goddess Nyalda, who is a friend to their goddess, Aldrya. They know this will tax your priestesses, and ask what you would like in return.

Consequences[]
The elves do not keep livestock, but they do offer valuable trade goods.
If you ask for livestock, they will promise to raid a neighbor and offer capture animals as a deal which gives ~20 cows. Members of the clan ask them which clan they raided but they won't understand the question.
Likewise, they are not great conventional warriors, but are capable of blighting fields.
Though the text says that helping the elves will strain your priestesses, you do not lose any Clan Magic and you are not given any overt negative modifier to your magic.
