Dialogue[]
| “ | Your Humakti death-dealer, Kerenna, takes offense at words spoken by friends of the king. According to their whispers she too often goes off on her own and does what she wants, without consulting the ring. "To demonstrate why I do what I do," she retorts, "I will enact the Call of the Undead. The foes of my god shall come to our lands, and I shall slay them systematically." | ” |

Consequences[]
If you support Kerenna with a sacrifice to Humakt, a successful sacrifice will be received, according to our death cultists, and more undead will come than Kerenna doing the rite on her own, and Kerenna will be strengthened against them when the time comes.
If you have the king toast her in Beren's hall, then the people may be glad to see the king renounce the whispers against Kerenna. She says the king's support will give people courage when the undead comes.
If Kerenna makes her call, she will refuse to leave Berenstead until the event chain reaches its conclusion, since she needs to be ready for when the undead arrive.
Notes[]
This event can happen to Kerenna's niece, Korestene, also. Depending on Kerenna's or Korestene's exact age, three different variants of the illustration may be used.
