Dialogue[]
| “ | The <family1> family and <family2> family have entered into a legal case, adjudicated by elders of the <judge1>, <judge2>, and <judge3> families. As usual, the case revolves around grazing rights: <Lawyer> says that the <family2> let their stock graze on <family1> pastures. Outside families think that his case is thin, but the elders seem surprisingly well disposed toward his argument. <Whistleblower>, whose family has no role in the case, alerts the circle to the fact that <Lawyer> carries a magical treasure, the Golden Honeycomb, that aids in persuasion. His family found this object and kept it for themselves, instead of turning it over for the use of the entire clan, as custom dictates."

Consequences[]
This treasure can be useful, so one way or another, placing it in clan custody is a good idea.
Confiscating it can raise clan mood, as the other families are happy to see the <family1> lose a treasure they shouldn't have kept to themselves in the first place.
Negotiating for it will result in a choice on whether to compensate the defendants. Doing so will raise clan mood.
Advice[]
- "The clan's mood is already reserved. We cannot afford to coddle hoarders."
- "They have broken the law by hiding this treasure for themselves."
- "We did not take imperial magistrates with us into the wilderness. Instead Hyalor asked Relandar to fashion a new system of adjudication."
- "Is the treasure more important than this specific legal case?"
- "We of the <family2> demand firm punishment for these wrongdoers."
- "If we can't settle simple grazing disputes we will become objects of mockery."
- "I am drunk." - Raven trickster
