Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/Tensions and Opportunities

Your local merchants and craftsmen have gathered to voice their grievances regarding the D'Haran Merchant Guild's control over livestock and raw materials. They express frustration as this control has led to a scarcity of raw materials, driving up production costs for the craftsmen and cutting into the profits of the local merchants.

As you listen to their complaints, intriguing news arrives from Lexis' estate. A group of merchants and Lux Nova priests has recently arrived in your domain. The traveling merchants are keen to establish a trade route, recognizing the potential for mutual benefits. The priests, on the other hand, aim to construct a temple dedicated to Lux Nova, the burgeoning faith in the land.

Your local merchants eagerly welcome the visiting merchants, seeing the potential for increased trade volume that could boost their profits. The minor nobles of your estate embrace the Lux Nova priests, wholeheartedly supporting the construction of a temple and generously donating to the cause.

However, the D'Haran Merchant Guild, which holds significant influence in your estate, voices its concerns. They advise you to reject the newcomers from Lexis' estate, citing the guild's dedication to the old faith, Sanguis Astroism. The guild warns that accepting these outsiders may lead to conflicts and tensions, potentially disrupting the estate's stability.

The decision lies with you: Will you welcome the newcomers from Lexis' estate, potentially ushering in increased trade and a new temple dedicated to Lux Nova? Or will you heed the warnings of the D'Haran Merchant Guild and deny them entry to avoid potential conflicts?

Outcome: A Firm Rejection

Upon careful consideration, you decide to reject the offer presented by the D'Haran Merchants. You convey your decision to them, and though they wear expressions of disappointment, they understand that your estate will not be the new home for their investments.

Your choice to decline the D'Haran Merchants' proposal is met with relief from your local merchants and minor nobles. They appreciate your commitment to maintaining the current stability and harmony within your estate, avoiding the potential conflicts that might have arisen from aligning with investors who oppose Lux Nova.

While this decision may not bring immediate financial gain, it reinforces your reputation for making choices that prioritize the well-being and unity of your estate's inhabitants.
