Dialogue[]
| “ | An unseasonable storm has left the fields under a thick layer of greasy ice, damaging your already meager crop before it can mature. Priests say this is the work of the frost deity, Valind. He is not a Chaos god, but rather the outlaw kin of Orlanth. This distinction offers little solace to your horrified farmers. | ” |
Consequences[]
If you call on Elmal, a success will see his light shining on the ice, melting it away before it does too much damage; Mood improves
If you call on spirits and tax them, fire spirits feast on the ice, leaving our crops no worse for wear; Mood improves.
