The Kindly Knight reads as he waits, and when his turn comes the steward has to call his name three times before he notices. He shuffles forward with a creaking bow.
Which of his concerns will you address?
Available actions[]
1.
"I have observed strange behavior in Serault's skies." "Last week, a flock of crows formed the shape of a dragon as they flew overhead. What do you suppose it could mean?"
Result: Augury "Euphidia has a lot to say on the subject of orniscopy, of course, but much of it is contradictory. Petrine is largely useless on the matter, but she does reference a flight of sparrows forming the pattern of a sunburst during the second Exalted March upon the Imperium, which makes me wonder if..."
+2 Twilight
→Wheeling Crows
2.
"A plague assails my lands." "I do what I can for those who contract it, but it spreads like fire. I implore you: help me."
Result: Expert assistance You call for your court physician: a short, pinch-faced man you employed for his steely nerves, not his bedside manner.
-2 Prosperity
→Sickness at the Well
3.
"Allow me to introduce a remarkable young gentlemen..." "He has travelled all the way from Val Royeaux. A scholar. A brilliant one! Alas, the University considers his theorems too...unorthodox. He seeks a home. I have no doubt he will illuminate any court wise enough to patron him."
Result: Quite the achievement The University of Orlais is infamously liberal. Exactly how 'unorthodox' do you have to be to get thrown out of it?
+2 Rumors of Revolution
→A Travelling Scholar
4.
"I've conducted a brief study of the graffiti that's sprung up across the Marquisate..." "I think they're messages," he says. "Coded messages."
Result: Hidden in plain sight He has always sought to preserve even the most mundane facets of Seraultine life. Perhaps, for once, it's paid off. "It was just a way to pass the time, initially. But patterns began to appear. Alas, codes and ciphers are not my area of expertise, and my other research beckons. I've recently acquired a fragmentary copy of Mortosia's Final Journey, and translating it is going to be damnably tricky..." He hands over a comprehensive set of sketches and logs, detailing graffiti from across Serault.
+2 Rumors of Revolution
→Graffiti
5.
Ask him about the Freehold
(Requires The Freehold) What does he think he's doing?
Result: He blinks "It is an...experiment, your Grace. The smallfolk deserve a chance, do they not? To prove themselves?" His moustache quivers, nervously. "The Iconoclast may be...over-enthusiastic, but she has a point. How can people thrive when we think the worst of them"
You can decide what to do about the Freehold on its card pinned to the main play screen.
