Dialogue[]
“ | As arranged, the troll queen comes to Berenstead to speak to the “king of the humans.” One of her retinue knows your language. “Irrekar Ulombar, wise and strong wearer of the leaden crown, journeyed to the Gods War. There our goddess, Kyger Litor, provided a treasure. Given to the correct human king, it will assist both peoples in the coming battle against Chaos. Irrekar Ulombar invites your king, or his representative, to explain why he is the one she seeks.” <They appear surprised to be dealing with <Chieftain>, and ask why <King> is not on his throne.>

Consequences[]
If you impress the queen, she will make peace and gift your clan with the Tomorrow Skull, but also note that some trolls are not her subjects and may continue to attack you. This is also likely to increase the clan mood. This may have consequences later. In terms of gifts, cows are more likely to please the trolls than goods are.
If you fail to impress her, she will decide that you are not the ally she seeks and depart; the opportunity to make peace with her trolls will be lost. They may at least leave you some goods as a testament to their desire for peace. If Iverlantho is not chief, then he will waste no time calling for his enthronement in response.
