Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/A Choice of Priorities

Within your estate, a critical decision lies ahead, presenting a stark choice between two pressing matters.

On one hand, a group of local merchants is eager to utilize the newly established trade route with Rojak's estate. They earnestly request your support in assigning your newly formed vigilantes to secure the route and ensure its stability. Their ambition is to foster prosperous trade and strengthen economic ties with Rojak's people.

On the other hand, the head priest of Lux Nova approaches you with a matter of grave concern. It has come to his attention that a priest of Sanguis Astroism had clandestinely entered your estate during the mercenaries' visit. Rather than departing with the mercenaries who resisted conversion, this priest chose to blend in with the remaining followers of the old faith. In secret, he has been holding sermons and perpetuating the teachings of Sanguis Astroism. The head priest of Lux Nova implores you to take action and apprehend this rogue priest, aiming to eradicate the old faith from your estate.

The weight of this decision rests solely upon your shoulders. Will you prioritize the stabilization of the new trade route, fostering economic growth and prosperity for your estate? Or will you opt to hunt down the rogue priest of Sanguis Astroism to maintain the religious unity and uphold the teachings of Lux Nova within your domain? The consequences of your choice will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the future of your estate.

Outcome: Protecting the Trade Route and Religious Purge

With the well-being of your estate's merchants and the security of the newly established trade route in mind, you decide to deploy your recently formed vigilantes to safeguard the merchants on their journey. This choice garners a hint of disappointment from the head priest of Lux Nova, who appears to have taken matters into his own hands regarding the priest of Sanguis Astroism.

The head priest takes it upon himself to rally his followers, and together, they launch an organized attack against the priest of Sanguis Astroism. Although the priest and his adherents put up a spirited defense, their efforts are in vain. The overwhelming majority of your estate's residents, spurred on by the head priest's fervor, join the fray and vehemently demand the eradication of the old faith.

In the tumultuous weeks that follow, an angry mob, galvanized by the head priest's resolve, relentlessly crushes and uproots the followers of the old faith. The priest himself meets a grim fate as he is placed upon a pyre and consumed by the flames. His devoted followers, subjected to brutal beatings, ultimately relent and convert to the new faith, bringing about a swift and decisive end to the resurgence of Sanguis Astroism.

Amidst these events, your merchants successfully return from Rojak's estate with the vigilantes, unharmed and with tales of profitable endeavors. Their gratitude for your support is evident as they share a portion of their newfound wealth with you. Your decision to prioritize the protection of the trade route has proven fruitful, benefiting both your estate and the merchants who rely on it.
