Dialogue[]
| “ | A delegation from the <Rider> clan arrives at your gate to ask for your aid. They are a Rider clan, as yours once was, before Beren married Redalda and converted the <Player Clan> clan to Orlanth worship. The <Rider> clan wish to perform a great ceremony to ride to the sky and burnish the shield of Elmal. Unlike other Orlanthi clans you maintain a connection to this god and so can take part in the rite. | ” |

The second option, the gift of magic, will not appear if your clan does not have any magic to spare.
Consequences[]
If you give them valuables to sacrifice, a sufficient amount will result in their gratitude (may include Like +1) and a successful rite that results in a warmer sun and auspicious commentary from the god-talkers, predicting a year of good fortune.
If you choose to send worshippers to the ceremony, you must first choose who to send with them and how much, if any, goods or cattle you decide to sacrifice. If you help them succeed, they will like you more and you may enjoy divine favor for about a year after.
