Dialogue[]
“ | Members of the <Allied> clan arrive to demand redress for the warrior <Name> killed on the way to the Gods War. The customary compensation for a slaying, or wergild as it is known, amounts to goods worth 20 cows.

Consequences[]
If you give them what they ask, you have the option to give them a gift. They say we had done the right thing.
If you argue this was holy business, they may concede that Humakt himself did the killing and nobody demands wergild from the Death Dealer. Assuming the clan belongs to a culture worshiping Humakt, a pious chief is more likely to accept this argument, while an impious one is less likely to do so.
If you express "Saving the valley from undead is compensation enough," your chieftain may successfully argue that lessening the undead menace was worth far more than 20 cows.
Notes[]
This may occur after performing the Humakt Draws the Line ritual.
The illustration used for the event depends on the culture of the clan demanding the redress belongs to.
