Dialogue[]

Rodene, daughter of Reda, has grown into a capable adult. She takes after her mother, both in her persuasive talents and her ability to fight from horseback. Rodene was blessed by Redalda during her initiation ceremony. <And Son of Charandar, who returned from the Other Side with Reda, allows Rodene to ride him>. <Reda suggests/Her kinfolk propose> that the clan hold a contest of riding and shooting, inviting unmarried men and women from our neighbors, that Rodene may demonstrate her superiority, besting them all.
  1. Agree.
  2. Confine the contest to the clan only.
  3. Compose a poem in her honor.
  4. Equally celebrate all who have just passed into womanhood.

Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out

Consequences[]

If you agree, Rodene may indeed excel; if she does, the prize you offered stays within the clan; mood increases. If she fails, however, you will have to give the prize to the winning clan; mood decreases.

Regardless, Rodene will now appear in your noble pool. She has at least Excellent Diplomacy and Very Good Combat (Renowned and Excellent respectively if she rides Son of Charandar).

Notes[]

The text about Son of Charandar appears only if Reda is dead.

Erenlanth is extremely unlikely to be of age before Rodene, but he has advice in this scene.
