Fear Devours Your Heart
You made [xiaochou.name] peer into your own soul—and there, [xiaochou.name] saw the fear coiled in yours...

"How amusing. I thought fear only tormented the weak. Yet here, when the strong are encircled by it, they too writhe in its grasp. Truly, you humans are masters at tormenting one another."

Conditions:

Result:

What Shatters Fear?
You made [xiaochou.name] peer into your own soul—and there, [xiaochou.name] saw the hope flickering in yours...

"How curious. You can envision the purest of dreams while plotting the foulest of deeds—do you truly believe freedom lies in such contradictions? Humans... ever weaving their endless cycles."

Conditions:

Result:

More Will You Drag Down?
You made [xiaochou.name] peer into your own soul—and there, [xiaochou.name] saw the schemes coiled in yours...

"How curious. You’ve already crafted a plan—yet lack enough pieces." [xiaochou.name] waves a hand, and the mirror flashes with faces—your friends, followers, servants, allies... "Which of them have you marked for sacrifice? What? You want them all to survive? Ha! Then you are not yet ready—unless that’s just empty courtesy. I do so love a good show."

Conditions:

What are You Waiting for?
You made [xiaochou.name] peer into your own soul—and there, [xiaochou.name] saw the flawless design coiled in yours...

"How curious. You’ve convinced so many of your grand scheme, yet still, you hesitate to take the final step—are you waiting for another choice, another possibility? Or does the Sultan’s shadow still haunt you? Do not disappoint me, Master [player.name]!"

Conditions:

Result:

The Cycle of Conquest
You showed [xiaochou.name] the Testament to Bygone Oaths, that hollow relic of a fallen dynasty... "Ha! In the old tongue, ‘imitation’ and ‘repetition’ were the same word. It seems this truth holds just as well in conquest... I had expected Master [player.name] to devise something more original. After all, you are the one meant to break the cycle, are you not?"

Conditions:

Result:

Mirage
You made [xiaochou.name] peer into your own soul—and there, [xiaochou.name] saw your shared dream with Nawfal...

"Hahahaha! How utterly naive! How disappointing—I find I don’t understand you at all, Master [player.name]! Would a human truly reshape the world for others? Or can conquest ever be achieved by one who is not ruthlessly self-serving? What a delightful jest you’ve told!"

Conditions:

Result:

That Which Never Was
You made [xiaochou.name] peer into your own soul—and there, [xiaochou.name] saw your shared dream with Nawfal...

The Mirror recoiled—staggering back two steps beneath your gaze: "Since the first dawn kissed the dew, I have witnessed all... Every deed done has been done before, every act yet to come has already been... Yet you show me a work untouched by the sun’s gaze... Truly, to wear mortal flesh is to taste such delights! I thank you, Master [player.name]!"

Conditions:

Result:

That’s the Game
You showed [xiaochou.name] the golden Conquest Card. It laughed wildly—"So you’ve learned to wield the cards like the Sultan himself! A fine cycle of conquest indeed... You must make it! I will follow you to the bitter end, Master [player.name]!"

Conditions:

Result:

The Price Seen, the Gain Known
After the talk of conquest’s cost, [xiaochou.name] fell silent, and you, too, found yourself lingering on the words exchanged with it. Almost without thought, your manner toward servants and slaves softened; in councils with the high nobles, your considerations grew weightier. A subtle yet unmistakable change took hold... You felt yourself grow stronger.
