Iverlantho Authority

Dialogue[]

“	Iverlantho, who serves as chieftain of your clan and is also hereditary king of your tribe, the Berenethtelli, has been thinking. "Our <many misfortunes/recent setbacks> have one <cause in common/corrupt root> ," he says. "The other clans of our tribe no longer submit to our <regal/royal> authority. Only by uniting under one crown can we together withstand <darkness's choking grip/the onslaught of Chaos>." Instruct your lore speakers to learn the secrets of lost royal regalia. "Now is not the time for this, wise king." Send an exploration party in search of lost royal regalia. Sound out neighbors on their willingness to recognize him. "The kingdom is dead. Give up on this foolish dream."	”

Consequences[]

If you instruct your lore speakers, there is a risk that they say yes in a manner that means no. You can press the matter - if pressed, they grudgingly assent, causing mood to fall. Alternatively, they will agree from the start, causing mood to increase instead. Either way, they investigate.

If you sound out neighbors on their willingness to recognize him, select an envoy and their escort. The chieftains may give you their least offensive refusal.
