Dialogue[]

Your patrol spots a party of trolls on the edge of your territory. Before darkness swarmed across the world, these formidable raiders dwelt only in the lightless depths. This group neither attacks or retreats, but instead hails you, as if seeking a parley.
  1. Kill them.
  2. Drive them off.
  3. Ignore them.
  4. Allow them to approach.
  5. Approach them.

Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out

Consequences[]

If you attack, troll-hating ancestors will give you magic.

If you talk to them, they will explain their purpose in coming here:

Speaking haltingly with them in the simple language of traders, we learned of their mission. Their queen had gone to the Gods War to confer with their mother goddess, Kyger Litor. She learned that her people would need allies of all sorts to keep Chaos from destroying the world.

Do you agree to let the queen visit, under the laws of hospitality?

Should you agree, the troll queen will visit next Darkness season, unless your king is unavailable at that time.

Notes[]

You may wish to allocate Diplomacy magic next Sacred Time. Your people also suspect that the conversation will be easier if your king is also chieftain when the queen arrives.
