You thank him for his explanation and let him go. The Wizard bows wordlessly and leaves, never to be seen again.

Grave news come from the south; your aunt Elsa has been slain, shot by and arrow of unseen assailant during a trip through a forest with some of her courtiers. Her husband and advisors launched an investigation and will of course notify you the moment they learn anything!
865 AD, Mid-Autumn
Shoran, son of the Duke of Koi, part of the broken-down Kiwi Empire have arrived at your court.
"Greetings, King of Luathbas! Albeit the parent nation of mine and yours weren't on best standing thorough the last century or more, I'm bringing you an offer that you should consider a priviledge! Adila, son of Chun, the Master of Khanate, have heard of both the wealth of Luathbas and of its martial kings and successful army. Therefore, I was sent with a proposal. Join Adila's allies and help us crush the remnants of Kiwis and the pervidious alliance of petty kings in the west, and the Khanate will see to it that your merchants and citizens and houses and villages are spared from the nomadic raiders. You clearly see the benefits of the offer, am I not right?" You say that you...
A) Do agree with benefits of the offer and shall lend Adila a hand in his conquests.
B) Have to refuse his offer, as it simply looks like a thinly-veiled threat.
C) Want to know if perhaps Adila would prefer Luathbas gold over Luathbas arms as an aid.
D) See a buffon that needs to learn his place. To the dungeon with him!
