Outcome Actions

• Options:

  Your thoughts had barely torn free of Lumera's revenge when Asal, owner of the Angler, arrived.
  
  As always, he bowed with exquisite deference, moving like a noble of the fallen kingdom.
  
  "My thanks for allowing me to set foot in your splendid residence—it is so beautiful, like silk spun by the goddess from the thinnest threads..."
  
  After a flurry of florid praise, he politely brought up Lumera's book. The acclaim on the streets smelled like an opportunity to him; thus he wished for your permission to publish it. If you consented, he would see to plates and printing—more formal, more accurate, and far wider in reach than the handful of hand-copied manuscripts now in circulation.

  • op1: Agree
  • op2: Reject
  • op3: I need to ask the author.
• Case #1:
  • Enable Event: barley
  • Prompt:

    You agreed to Asal's request; he happily promised the venture would turn a profit and that he would report revenues to you at any time.
    
    Offhand, he also mentioned the book would go to market "with a recommendation by [player.name]"— a way to shelter the edition under your name and dodge trouble. You know that could cause you headaches, but you let it slide: after all, the book was Lumera's—and you truly wished to recommend it.

• Case #2:
  • Prompt:

    For various reasons you did not think a mass publication would benefit you or Lumera. Though Asal implored you again and again, you refused in the strongest terms.

• Case #3:
  • Rite: The Birth of a Book
  • Prompt:

    Since the book was Lumera's, the author must consent.
    
    You had her invited to your receiving room. The moment she entered, Asal launched into a string of extravagant metaphors—she was the moon, the nightingale, a pagan muse, the moon of the plateau—only then repeating his request.
    
    "Oh... you mean—that what I wrote would be carved on blocks and printed, is that it?"
    
    Lumera's cheeks flushed slightly; it was rare to see her so excited. She widened her eyes and looked at you, many feelings passing through them, though her lips were still pressed tight.
    
    "I think—if you would allow it—I think I would like to publish..."
    
    Dear Lumera—what words were those? Of course youagreed! You would even fund the printing yourself!
