You accept the offer of Lady Tasarina and prepare a wedding while your reply travels southwest.

956 AD, Summer

You marry Lady Tasarina in a brief Singularist ceremony - a ten minutes long thing - and then have a feast. She proves to be a charming woman of average beauty and outspoken mind.

7*_{oh what the hell}

About a week later, one of your palace servants brings you an item from her grandfather.

A Dahnian by blood, he settled in Tven after the disasterous war between Luathbas and the Republic; apparently, he has taken as a loot a shiny knife from a Damdamian soldier just on the day of armstice. Last winter, as the grandfather was lying on his deathbed, he has asked his family to give this knife to the Duke of Tven as a gift.

Your scholars determine that it is made from sky iron, extremely rare and valuable metal.

Truly this is a very precious gift indeed!

A) And you shall use it as a ceremonial blade to highlight your status!
B) And it will be well guarded in the palace's Treasury!
C) And it will be returned to the servant's family, as you cannot accept such a grandiose gift out of your personal modesty.

Dwarven craftsmanship, innit. It knows to find its way back to its true owner. Or at least their distant relatives.

...wait, did the dwarves make the sky iron knife, or did we get our own blacksmiths to make it? I forget.

Either way, the knife is ours by right. Give the servants's family a pat on the back, and let us begin our hoard of artefacts.

Although that may influence everything, it still seems to be bound to everything-we-do.

I'm just biased on the Wise side though Or the Charismatic one as it seems to best apply when discussing the end part of relations or deals.

The Knife is of Dwarven make, it was unpaid for as the dynasty fell before 50 years had passed.

Now we've no idea how this (Dwarven debt and loot) works BUT A seems best as in any circumstance, we control the outcome.

Edit: Wow a century late. Guess we'll see what the Dwarves say o_O
Hopefully we can legalize it if ever this comes up because it's pretty much of mention that we don't know what had happened unless we're wise or have similar traits in our control.

If any fancy creature shows up. Our duke can already die with the knife in hand

Oh my god, lucky was brilliant, actually.

You accept the gift and have the Sky Iron Knife placed in jewelled sheath, which you will wear on ceremonies. And maybe into combat, who knows.

People nod in approval and debate your luck; some believe that you were 'Blessed' by Fate* or the God of Luck*.

What could be the other explanation for this?

956 AD, Autumn

The harvest was bontiful and that has urged the population to ask for festivities! Both the Singularist and Pantheonist clergy says it would be decent to honor the One/Gods with sacrifices, and of course people would be happier after the Crown-sponsored feasting.

A) Definitely, we should throw some parties to celebrate the good harvest!
B) Naaaah, we shouldn't spend so lavishly without good source of income.
