Rites

The Vagrants' Demand

Led by Raed, the vagrants surrounded your house again, banging rusted gongs and broken boards, shouting songs both wild and senseless. The stench of rain-soaked misery clung to them...

"Lord [player.name], our needs are few—just a roof against the rain, and walls against the wind. Help us, and we shall surely help you. We have our skills, don't we, brothers? We have the skills!" Their cries rose like a storm, shaking the rooftop of your residence. Whether it is praise or threat was hard to say.

A Mansion for All
At the city's edge stood the residences of nobles from fallen kingdoms, abandoned since their heads rolled beside their king's. Each manor had its claimants, yet few dared live within walls stained by blood, and fewer still could pay the price. You placed a weighty purse into the hands of a trusted servant, sending him to find the vagrants a dwelling—broad enough, solid enough, one of those relics of the old dynasty: cheap, sound, and fit for many lives.

In time, Raed returned with her most capable followers to thank you. You saw it clearly then: these were not mere beggars, but people of talent, once educated, now displaced.

A Mansion for All
You sighed and thought a while. Was there not a vacant house of your own? Left idle, it would be taken by the desperate soon enough; better, perhaps, to give it freely, and grant them a few more seasons of shelter. You called for the keys and sent a steady hand to lead them there. With doubt and disbelief, they departed your gates.

Result:

As luck would have it, it is this card.
Defeating the mobs besieging your home counts as a minor conquest. The vagrants gathered like ants—now is the time to pour boiling water over the bugs.

Many players enjoy this approach! When you revealed the Conquest Card, the nobles organized their private guards, blocking all escape routes. You dispatched the mob with little effort. Naturally, Sultan paid little attention cause the nobles are like his children, and how many parents truly mind cruel games of their little kids?

In the end, you didn't even find Raed among the bodies—she had likely become the spoils of some noble... a pity.

[player.name] Performs Astonishing Feats
Now, Raed has come to believe you completely—this game can truly be used to do some good! The house is decent, and everyone has a bed of their own. It's a little cramped, but those with means will eventually move on. The house need only shelter those who cannot leave... A blessing no vagrant ever dared to hope for.

Show Me Something New
Sultan laughed and waved you off. He reminded you that you'd already used these nameless wretches once before to burn away a Extravagance Card—and dragging their names through court again was dull, tasteless, and beneath the dignity of the crown. Reluctantly, you withdrew the Sultan Card, trembling a little, and hurried to dream up another use for it.
