Type	Random Event
Requires	Hanth or Hanvan is available, and Kerenna or Korestene is available

Dialogue

“	Hanth demands that the clan sanction Kerenna for an unnecessary killing. He found her in the nearby wilds, looming over a hunter in a feathered tunic. "I acted rightly," says Kerenna. "I commanded him to identify himself. He moved suddenly. When my sword leaves its sheath, death is loosened." "He carried only a small knife," Hanth responds. "You could have driven off the poor starveling with a kick or two. Solitary hunters lead the hardest lives. He deserved mercy." Admonish Hanth. Admonish Kerenna. Fine Kerenna. Praise Kerenna. "It is hard to say what happened."	”

Consequences

If you admonish Kerenna, she may take the council's words stoically. If so, the people might take pride in their mercy, and Mood rises.

If you fine Kerenna, she may hold her anger inside, but the people still see death in her eyes and fear her. If she's also a member of the ring, you have the option of expelling her from it or not. If you choose not to, people may wonder why you didn't remove such a heartless slayer from the ring. If so, you gain a handful of goods and Mood goes down.

Notes

If Hanth is elderly, but Kerenna is not.

Different illustrations may be used depending on the ages of the characters.

If Hanth or Kerenna are not available, their role may be filled by their son and niece, Hanvan and Korestenne, respectively.
