"The altars empower our warriors and drive the monsters away. They need to be restored first." The two Chiefs of magicks bow their heads, and say nothing to your decision.

A) Time to chat with the Warriors and Road Men.
B) Time to chat with the elders from the frontier.
C) Time to chat with the foreign cultist.

You wave at the Warriors and the Road Men to approach next.

The Champion and the Master of Roads approach. The two long-haired men have their bronze sword and stone-axe, respectively raised together.

"Our King! The Queens have long paid little attention to the raids by Nestians and the status of the roads. Our frontier settlements have long suffered raids where our maidens and cattle are stolen by the Nestians, while no road between camps is truly safe from direbeasts and monsters. Our numbers are small, and we wish to whisk young men into service, for the good of all!" The Champion explains and Master of the Roads nods in silent agreement. Your Advisor leans to whisper:

"Indeed there have been little numbers of youth in recent years that were called to the weapon, but I don't think bolstering two of the militant groups at once would be viewed favorably by your subjects, so early after bloodshed of recent years..."

A) "Nestian raids must be stopped at any cost! The Warriors shall have priority of the choice of young men!"
B) "Our roads must be kept secure at any cost! The Road Men shall have priority of the choice of young men!"

[NUKE9.13]

Well, we neglected transportation last time, probably better not to double down. Also, a foreign threat is kinda useful, to some extent, in motivating people to support the state. Also also, without safe roads, how would warriors reach outlying settlements to defend them?

Good Logic.

A) Elders next!
B) Priest next!

You let the elders approach next.

They kneel in respect to your authority, and you raise your hand in a greeting.

"Your Majesty! We come from frontier lands, and our camps and villages suffer. Nestians ride their horses to steal our few milk-bearing animals and our precious maidens, while Belegians confuse and sway our youngsters from our good ways of Sacred Items through their metal trinkets and talks about their blasphemous Man-Gods! This is all because we let foreigners from the south and west into our sacred forests! Please, preserve our good way and cast away the foreigners, by shedding of blood if need be!" The Advisor furrows his brows, then leans in to whisper.

"I will only say that Belegians have yet to steal or kill anyone, while the same cannot be said about Nestians."

A) "Foreigners are nothing but bad news! They need to be driven away at once!"
B) "Not all foreigners are trouble, but only Nestians! We shall venture into their plains to teach them a lesson for which they will pay for with their own blood!"
C) "I believe we have a foreign Priest in attendance! Come forth, foreigner, you shall speak for all of your kin!"

[NUKE9.13]

Well, we don't have the warriors to launch a counter-raid. And going full isolationist seems too radical as a first resort. So let's hear what this human priest has to say for themselves.
