A Demand for Tribute
Envoys from Parias Demander arrive at our court with a stark message: the Threatening Crusade is being raised against us, and unless we pay tribute, its armies will march on our lands. Our advisors warn that our gold will only buy time, dampening their bloodlust but never quenching it. Do we pay to postpone the reckoning, or defy them and prepare for the storm?
