menu_lucha_1_d|An enemy warrior moves towards your army and stops a stone's throw away. He takes a lamb skin filled with mead from around his neck and throws it to the ground. You see him jump to warm up his muscles. He casts aside his cloak, removes his robe and boots and stands naked, equipped only with spear and shield. He is their champion, and he points to your army challenging your men to face him.^^Before you can speak, a boy runs out from the ranks. He isn't a veteran or the most capable of your troops, but he's certainly brave.^^Your warrior, your champion, advances to the enemy. They circle each other, studying each other's moves. Your warrior's nerves fail, and he gives a jab with his spear, lowering his shield. The enemy champion seizes the opportunity and swiftly plunges the blade of his spear into the heart of your warrior...^^You have lost the duel.
menu_lucha_2_v|One of your men breaks away from the ranks and saunters towards the enemy, then turns, pulls his coat halfway up, and shows his ass. An enemy champion runs towards him, enraged, and tosses a javelin. It is a wild shot that falls a few feet from your warrior. The enemy then draws his sword and charges with a cry.^^Your man quickly prepares himself and stands his ground, waiting with a spear rocking in his hand. Each champion batters the other's shield in an effort to hit home.^^Watching closely, you observe the first blood spilled, and then the last as your champion thrusts his spear through the mouth of his opponent. After catching his breath, your champion turns around and shouts to your men: 'I was too big a mouthful!'^^You have won the duel.

mno_choice_01mess2_1|Tell Thonkrik that the message has been received.
menu_doccinga_c_assault|From a hill near Doccinga, you can see that the townspeople are fleeing. Some of the braver ones and a few of the king's men are trying to form a shield wall at the beach, ready to defend their possessions or, in the worst case, to protect their loved ones' escape.^^Far off, in the sea, you distinguish three Viking warships. You cannot see them well from this far, but it isn't hard to imagine that they are full of warriors.^^Your mind cannot help but return to memories of that naval battle where Sven Bull Neck attacked your ship.

menu_doccinga_victory|Blood drips from your hand to your elbow. Around you, there is only death, and your ears are filled with the groans of the dying.^^The Vikings, defeated, have returned to the sea, leaving behind many dead and wounded, but the cost has been very high.^^Sven Bull Neck was not among the assailants, and that surprises you, as the boats were his.

mno_leavebea|Come back later.
menu_sven_lair|On the banks of a river, you distinguish a Viking fort. You've found the hideout of Sven!^It is a good place with a small port for ships, easy to defend.

Just outside Sven's hideout, he asks you to walk away with him. He wants to tell you what happened after Sven's attack on the Woden Ric.
mno_talk_to_bodo|Talk to Bodo.
menu_svenlair_victory|After a tough battle, your men have defeated the Vikings protecting the hideout. In one of the houses, you find three prisoners: two women and one man. The women are unknown to you, perhaps prisoners from other Viking raids, but the man is Bodo, the Cantabrian who traveled with you aboard the Woden Ric.^^Bodo joins your party. An old friend is back. He asks you to walk away with him. He wants to tell you what happened after Sven Bull Neck's attack on the Woden Ric. But first, you need to decide what to do with Sven's hideout.

menu_sven_lair_final|Fate is playing with you. First, everything was pointing to your mother's death.

menu_farmstead_sigurd2|It is not long before your lookouts warn you that a party of men is approaching. The tension is thick on the farm, but Egil, positioned on a hill, sends a word not to worry, because the visitors carry the banners of the king.^^King Horik is sending reinforcements!
mno_talk_kingleader|Talk to the man who leads them.
menu_farmstead_sigurd3|You discover that the farm is a good place to spend a day away from the dangers and difficult decisions of the road. For a moment, you dream that the farm is yours. You cultivate the fields, direct the slaves, and have each day bettered by the following. {s2}. You see yourself sitting on a bench at the door, watching the sunset or the dawn... Is this what you want? Or would it be too much of the same for you? No matter, you still have many things to do before thinking of a quiet life.^On the second day, one of your lookouts alerts you about armed men approaching. They are numerous and carry the banner of Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye.' Without having to give orders, your men pick up their weapons, put on their armor, and they run to the farm entrance to form their shield wall.
mno_enter_to_battlefs|Begin the exchange.
menu_farmstead_sigurd4|You look at the men who came. They are many, maybe more than sixty, and they're well armed. A prisoner is pushed ahead with his head covered with a sack...
menu_hablar_olvir|After a brutal combat, Ulf's farm is covered with corpses. Your men roam between the bodies, finishing off the wounded and taking everything that is of value. You look at Egil, who's cutting off the finger of a dying warrior to take a golden ring; then at Brunhild, who's watching with horror all the carnage; then at Reginhard, who's laughing sitting on a corpse. You, yourself do not know how you feel. Somebody said once that war changes people, that it is a voracious demon that devours your soul. Have you changed? Are you different?^^Your thoughts are broken when two of your soldiers bring before you Olvir. He's still alive, but not for long. The blood gushes from his side... unstoppable.

It makes you a feared man if you make quick raids on settlements on the coast. It makes you a ruler if you conquer foreign lands. The Norsemen say it will even bring you to the after-life.^^However, traveling on a ship is also dangerous. The sea is like an open grave beneath the hull, awaiting you and your men. The storms of winter will harm your ships, but calm weather isn't much better, because it forces your men to row. To avoid overtaxing the crew, it is customary to stop traveling at night and to rest on land.^^A ship is also a valuable possession.

menu_cueva_odin|The smell of the sea is pervasive in this area, and the rumble of the waves crashing against the cliffs resonates in your head like thunder. There is a path, very narrow at the end of a beach, where you distinguish traces of men. It is a difficult way that you can only follow on your own, so you order your people to wait behind while you investigate.
mno_enterod|Approach.
mno_enterod2|It looks like someone's den. Investigate.
mno_choice_od|No one has reoccupied the cave. You shudder at the memory.
mno_encounter_savefarmod|You believe you need to prepare more. Leave.
menu_orm_duel|You move from the farm to a clearing, where Ulf's thralls are preparing a ritual circle of stones that mark the boundary of the dueling area. Around you, all the men from the farm and your men form another circle to cheer you on.^^In front of you, Orm the Black warms his oversized muscles. He seems confident. Perhaps, given his spotless record of wins, he can't be said to be too confident. Your companions give you pats on the back, advice and wishes for good luck. All but Reginhard, who is pessimistic and says he will record the runes on your gravestone. Suddenly, Egil points toward Orm. The berserker has ceased to warm up his muscles. His body convulses uncontrollably, and his mouth foams white. Suddenly, he lifts his head and, looking at you with bloodshot eyes, shouts something unintelligible. He launches himself towards you like a viper, much more quickly than one would expect from such a large man...
mno_duel_orm|Jump to the fray.
menu_orm_duel_win|Orm the Black's corpse lies at your feet. Your arms are sore from blocking the brutality of his attacks, and your mind keeps replaying the more desperate moments of the duel. You wonder at the fury of Orm and his apparent immunity to pain. There's no doubt you're lucky, for you have just survived a fight with a berserker!
menu_viking_duel_win|The duel is over, and you have defeated {s1}. The skalds will talk about your victory, and the fame of your feat will spread by the word of mouth.
menu_viking_duel_lose|{s1} was an opponent too skilled for you. You have been defeated. While {s1}'s fame will grow from the victory, thanks to the songs of the skalds, men will remember your name only as that of the beaten.
mno_duel_rebelion|Accept the challenge.
menu_duel_rebelion_enemyback|Frightened by your fierceness, your opponent in the end refuses to face you in duel. He withdraws while your troops tease him for his cowardice.
menu_duel_rebelion_win|The duel is over. Your enemy lies on the ground, defeated by your skill with weapons. You hope that this serves as a warning to other potential rivals. Now your mission is to restore confidence and improve your army's morale.
menu_thething_messenger|A messenger approaches, beating his horse. He stops in front of you, takes a breath and shouts,^^'My King, Horik of Danmark, invites you to the Assembly being held near Ribe. Since it is going to be about your complaint with Sven Bull Neck and Sigurd Ragnarsson, you must go soon, or the judgment of the Assembly will go against you.'^^The messenger then kicks his mount and rides away.
mno_choice_01_1thing|Continue
menu_the_holmgang|A group of heavily armed men approaches you. It is led by Harald Haraldsson, king's right hand, who reminds you of your promise at the Assembly. It is the hour of the holmgang and your opponent is already on Short Island. They surround your party and lead you to a nearby beach, where a gaunt old man waits in a small boat. You get in the boat, and two of Harald's men push it into the water. The old man, without a word to you, begins paddling toward an island on the horizon.
mno_choice_01_1duelhom|Continue.
menu_the_holmgang2|The water is gentle. The only sound you hear is that of the oars on the water, striking in a slow and deliberate rhythm. The old man is not so old, but wrinkles of a hard life at sea make him look like an elder. He wears a worn and salt-bleached tunic, and the skin of his hands look like hard leather. His eyes are blue and crystal clear and do not look directly at you even for a moment, but remain focused on the island. Up ahead awaits an opponent who once was a companion. The Assembly has decided that two go to Short Island, but only one return. The boat stops near a small beach, and after you get off, the old man paddles it a few tens of meters back into the ocean, where he stops and waits.
mno_choice_01_2duelhom|Duel.
menu_the_holmgang3|'Two went to the island, but only one returns.'^^You have been victorious, but at the cost of killing an old companion. In your mind, you remember the phrase that you heard so often from Reginhard: Gaed a wyrd swa hio scel! Fate always goes as she must!^^The old man takes the boat back to where your warriors await in Danmark. When you arrive, they pick up their things and say nothing, aware of the gravity of the moment. Soon they are ready to go. Harald and his men have already left. It's time to look for the Assembly judge called Asbjorn in the mead hall of Ribe.
mno_choice_01_3duelhom|Travel.
menu_the_thing|In a setting reminiscent of times past, when men lifted huge rocks to venerate their dead or glorify their gods, meets the Assembly. As you approach, you hear more clearly hundreds of voices, distinguish the tents, and smell the food from the merchant stands. The Assembly, or the Thing, is not just a meeting where issues are discussed and judgments are made but also an event where people around go to exchange news or sell their products.
mno_enter_thing|Approach.
menu_partida_ribe_fleet|Since your arrival, there has been a great hubbub in the port of Ribe. Eight hundred Vikings and their captains have been boarding their ships in order of arrival, while slaves load baggage, supplies, and even animals. Most of the ships are the Knorr type, cargo ships, but there are also a good two dozen warships.^^You spend nights on your ship, while during the day you help as you can. Your warriors kill time enjoying the hospitality of the neighbors and happy widows. You have had no chance to get close to Sven Bull Neck or, rather, to his ship, but you hear that he and Harald, the two people in charge of the fleet, have been arguing over all types of stupid things. Some of Harald's men have even been stabbed in the streets.^^Finally, after everyone has prepared for the long journey, the fleet rows out of Ribe to follow the Whale Route, leaving Danmark behind.
mno_choice_01_3dfl|Join the expedition.
menu_partida_ribe_fleet2|By now, the differences between Sven Bull Neck, protected by Jarl Sigurd, and Harald Haraldsson, protected by King Horik, are so clear that the fleet progresses divided in two, depending on who supports which commander.^^But it's not the time for worry. The sea brings wind and the freedom of the waves, and your ship is heading for Englaland where rivers carry silver and men get fame. And now you're closer than ever to Sven Bull Neck. You just wait for your chance to kill him and rescue your mother... Fate always rewards the patient.
mno_choice_02_3dfl|Continue to Englaland.
menu_sven_attack_fleet|The journey from Ribe to Eoferwic or, as the Danish call it, Jorvik is three days with good weather, but with the slower knorrs, the trip will take a day or two more. The ships have spread out, but this is usual. When traveling with sail, the winds govern at will. The ships will reunite at their destination.^^A long trip like this requires a routine. Men take turns in the work of the boat, even at night, because the fleet never stops offshore. The smell of the crowded men is horrible, the water you drink and food you eat taste terrible, and it is always uncomfortable having to peer over the stern when you want to relieve yourself.^^Eventually, the rift between Harald and Sven becomes open. Each now meets separately with the captains who are faithful to him. Each part of the fleet proceeds separately. Harald has called you and the other captains to his boat for an emergency meeting. Apparently, one of the captains faithful to Sven Bull Neck has changed his allegiance to Harald and brings news.^^You look forward to the meeting as well. Maybe there is finally news of your mother.
mno_choice_mettingcap|Captains' meeting.
menu_playerflee_svenattack|Behind you fades the battle, the pitiful cries of the wounded, and the clash of swords. You leave behind Harald Haraldsson's army while Sven Bull Neck's men massacre them. Your mission now is to go to Englaland to find Rathbarth Ragnarsson and tell him what happened and how Sven Bull Neck betrayed the king's men.
mno_choice_flee1|Flee.
menu_way_to_douaranenez|You join the fleet, and immediately the sailors unlash the boats and pull the halyards to raise the sails. The breeze stirs the cloth, and the ships begin to move. The captains shout orders to their crews, which start to row. Moved by sail and oars, the fleet leaves the harbor and heads for open water.
mno_choice_01_3ddouar|To Douar-an-Enez.
menu_way_to_douaranenez2|You spend days at sea, uncomfortable on a boat with so many men. There is no space for privacy and tranquillity. The smell of stale sweat, urine and sebum fills the air, even above the salty scent of the sea.^The climate is mild: no storms, no wind, despite the early appearance of fog. In fact, with so little wind, the fleet advances slowly, making the trip longer.^^Finally, from a nearby ship, one of the lookouts points to the horizon, and you can see Douar-an-Enez. In the bay of the village, there are more than 40 boats, many of them in the sea, lashed together in battle formation. One ship leaves the group and heads towards you...
mno_choice_d1douar2|Join the parley.
menu_way_to_douaranenez3|Behind you, you hear discussion in the village. There seems to be dissension in the camp of the Astures. You hear swords and shouting.^^But none of that matters to you at the moment. In full sail, a Cantabrian ship takes you to where your boat awaits. You see, in the distance, your fleet maneuvering to confront their attackers. Gundinsalvo travels with you. He is serious, very serious, despite the buffoonery at the meeting. He looks to where the two fleets jockey for position with their oars. His face is fierce, that of a seasoned warrior who does not fear death. As soon as you board your boat again, you direct it toward your fleet. It's time to take control...
mno_choice_douarbdouar3|To battle.
menu_way_to_douaranenez4|The sea has become a hell of fire, blood and death. Victory is yours, but many have been left behind, overcome by the edge of the sword, including the Cantabrian, Gundinsalvo.^^The naval battle was pure delirium of madness, but now your enemies flee. They are seeking to take refuge in Douar-an-Enez, but your warriors have pursued them, sparking a new battle in the little village. It is where you left Bodo, who attempts to bring together the Asturians and coordinate their efforts.^^It's your turn to join the fight...
mno_choice_douard4|Disembark.
menu_way_to_douaranenez5|Douar-an-Enez is not the place it was when you first arrived. Now there are only fire and death... Its inhabitants have been turned over to torment, and you doubt that someday someone would dare repopulate this cursed place.^^You hear the plaintive cry of your own injured people, and men wander past you staring into the distance, still shocked by the battle. You remember how Bodo died in the fight and last time you shared with him. His mission failed with persistent inevitability. There is no longer a fleet from the Kingdom of Asturias, only a few Cantabrians who have joined your cause after losing their own leader, Gundinsalvo. Now you are their leader. Some of your men dedicate themselves to finishing off the enemy and seizing their possessions.
mno_choice_douarb15|Claim your share of the spoils.
mno_choice_douarb26|Let your men keep all the loot.
menu_bjorn_camp|On a hill, the Danish have built a small camp. Counting the number of tents that you can see, you figure that there are between 250 and 300 men. On one of the tents waves the banner of Bjorn, one of the most famous sons of Ragnar.^^A couple of men stop you, but they let you pass as soon as you identify yourself, as if they were advised of your arrival.
mno_enter_bjorncamp|Enter the camp.
mno_enter_bjorncamp2|Investigate.
menu_nothingam_siege|Down in the distance, you see two Saxon and Angle camps surrounding Snotingaham. The camps are large, capable of holding thousands of men, and there are also patrols of warriors around the perimeter of the city, making sure that no one goes in or out. From this far away, you can just distinguish the silhouettes of Danish warriors as they patrol around the walls of the fortress. They are certainly in a compromising situation in terms of numbers, and the food is running out every day.
mno_mierce_patrols|Go to Snotingaham, passing between Mierce patrols.
mno_choice_snott|I need to recruit more men.
menu_nothingam_siege2|You leave behind Snotingaham and return to the forest...
mno_mierce_patrols2|Go to Snotingaham, passing between Mierce patrols.
menu_nothingam_siege_al|As you approach Snotingaham, Saxon patrols surround you but do not attack, respecting your emissary flag. They make you wait for about an hour while they look for Aelfred.^^Finally, a group of riders reaches where you are, dismounts and walks up to you.
mno_talk_to_alfred|Continue.
menu_ambush_kennemer|While your party rests to recover from the fatigue of the road, you take advantage to get away a bit from the camp and to have some privacy, as you have an upset stomach.^^But your relaxation, hidden among some rocks, is disturbed by a noise to your right...
mno_relax_broken|Quickly dress and take up your weapon.
menu_welsh_and_pictish_complete|It has been twenty days, and you've managed to keep {s3}. It is time to return for news of Sven Bull Neck and the decision regarding the letter of Bodo.
menu_messeger_mothernews|A messenger approaches, beating a squalid horse. He stops in front of you, takes a breath and shouts,^^'This message is for somebody called {playername}. If you want news of your mother, go to Boar Grove near Dommoc and look for the lumberjack's house.'^^The messenger kicks his mount until it starts moving again and rides off.

menu_circle_mystic|Your eyes distinguish a special place, which looks like it was raised by the ancients. Perhaps it is a good time to visit and enjoy the art of another time.
mno_enter_quest|Go.
mno_enter_mystic|Approach.
menu_troll_bridge|Not far away there is a bridge over a stream. The stream itself is unnamed, but the bridge is widely known as The Troll's Bridge.
mno_enter_troll|Move towards the bridge.
menu_battle_stones|Nearby you see a house surrounded by a row of stones on the ground. It seems an idyllic place to live, surrounded by peace and tranquillity, with nary a concern but to get up and take care of the livestock or crops... It is therefore impossibly distant from your hectic itinerant life on the road.
menu_roman_fort|Following the path, you can see ruins of some ancient Roman fort, similar to those found in other parts of old Britannia.
mno_enter_romanfort|Investigate.
menu_farmland_menu|You arrive at a small hamlet along the way. Smoke rises from a chimney, but you do not see anyone outside.

menu_aescesdun_camp|The Saxon army has retreated to this position to regroup after the defeat at Readingum. They have set up camp on a hill, where they are reinforced with men who arrive every day. It's a good position to recover and to intercept the Danish army in their westward advance before they can penetrate into West Seaxe.^^The site is called Aescesdun.^^{!}{s4}
mno_enter_aescendun|Enter the camp.
menu_aescesdun_empty|The camp has been almost empty, with very few people left after the advance of the great army into battle.

menu_thetravel_danisharmy_l|The Danish army, the Great Summer Army, has reached Aescendun.^^King Aethelred has divided his army in two: one led by himself and the other in the hands of his brother, young Aelfred. Each division takes one side of the ancient road, the Ridgeway.^^While the Vikings deploy, Aethelred decides that he must pray before the battle and refuses to budge until the service is complete. But the Danish approach quickly, their army also split in two...
mno_choice_01_3ddarm|The Battle of Aescesdun.
menu_mega_battle_ashdown|The Saxon army has taken a vantage point on two hills, split in two. One of the hills is dominated by the troops of King Aethelred and the other by those of Aelfred. The Danish move quickly, more than expected, not stopping to rest or form up. This is something that Aethelred did not anticipate. He is still immersed in his prayers and has ordered not to be disturbed until finished. The Danish don't wait. They divide their own army into two in their advance. One division under the army leaders, Jarl Halfdan and King Bagsecg, heads straight for the hosts of Aethelred. The other, under five other jarls, moves in the direction of Aelfred. They start to seize the high ground on a hill above the Saxon positions. If they finish deploying, they will have the height advantage over their enemies...^^{s2} You have {reg10} troops fit for battle against their {reg11}.
mno_encounter_attackasc|Battle of Aescesdun.
menu_svenbn_hunting|On the way from the battlefield, all you see are broken weapons, corpses, wounded men, looters, and priests giving final unction to the dying. You feel a mix of the euphoria of remaining alive with a strong sense of desolation. But mostly, you ask one recurring question: why? Why am I alive when so many others died?^^But your thoughts and fate walk in different directions. {s4}
mno_talk_to_leader|Talk to him.
menu_ashdown_battle_over|The battle is over, but the thunder of shields and swords, screams of men, and the cries of the wounded still ring in your ears. Your stiff hand is squeezing your weapon. You can still feel the tension of the battle, and your senses remain on high alert. You've survived carnage, just as you have many times before, by always living on the edge, always relying on your trusty sword. You've won today, but you know that your luck will end one day. Then, your life will be over, giving glory and fame to the one who kills you.^^Aescesdun has not been just any battle. It brought together hundreds of men, and most of them are now lying dead in the grass. The story of Aescesdun will surely be retold by bards and storytellers for many years to come.

mno_fight_svhall|Enter the mead hall.
menu_mother_death|Sven Bull Neck finally lies dead. You have accomplished your revenge, but you are left with a bitter taste in your mouth, because your mother's dead body is lying not far from Sven's. The woman who raised you. For her, you left everything behind to seek a healer in Friese. Her last words of love resonate in your mind, like a distant echo.^^Sven Bull Neck and your mother have been the energy that has driven you so far, but both are now dead. You feel a void, as if part of you went with them.^^After everything that happened, all you have left are memories...

Deep, cold and unnatural fog has blown over everything and lets you see only what is maybe a pace in front of you. As if this were not enough, you hear wolves howling in the distance... each time closer and closer.^^Next... your ears are flooded with a melody. Morrigan has found you.

menu_event_01_juicio|Two farmers, one very tall and lanky, the other low and stocky, were presented to you to discuss the ownership of a calf. Apparently, their fields bordered each other, and the tall farmer had a bull that impregnated a cow belonging to the other. The stocky farmer said the calf was his, because it was his cow giving birth. The tall farmer claimed the calf to be his, being the offspring of his best bull. He said he should at least get stud fees.
mno_choice_01_1nj|The owner of the cow is right. The calf is his, just like the cow is.
mno_choice_01_2nj|The owner of the bull is right. The bull is his and the calf too.

mno_choice_01_4nj|Neither is right. I'll slaughter the calf for its meat and give some to my men!
mno_choice_01_5nj|Neither is right. Kill the calf and give the meat to both farmers!
menu_event_02_juicio|My {reg59?lady:lord}, we captured a murderer! This is the man who attacked one of our messengers in {s4}, who is lying seriously injured in bed. This doesn't show us in a good light, for the messenger was under your protection. However, the attacker has an interesting story, and he wishes to talk to you before his execution.^^The prisoner's story: 'My {reg59?lady:lord}, I would have never thought of attacking your messenger, but that man wished to sleep with my young daughter at night, and this offer was refused! However, he did not accept our answer, entered my house with three friends, and raped my dear daughter, laughingly telling me all the while that you would never believe the word of a commoner. A father must protect his only child!'
mno_choice_02_1nj|He was under my protection. You and your family will be executed.
mno_choice_02_2nj|I will be reasonable: only you will be hanged.
mno_choice_02_3nj|Even though he was my servant, I would have done the same. You can go.
mno_choice_02_4nj|I order him to be hanged. No one should take advantage of their position.
menu_event_03_juicio|You summon two men to decide a dispute between them. One is a local leader, while the other is a farmer who rents the land of the leader.^^The man says his harvest was poor and cannot pay the rent, so the leader took the farmer's daughter to his own bed and as a servant in his house. The local leader is an influential figure within {s4}.
mno_choice_03_1nj|Punish the farmer. He must pay rent to his lord.
mno_choice_03_2nj|Punish the local leader. He has no right to take the farmer's daughter.

menu_event_04_juicio|One of your sworn men approaches you. He states his fears that, among the men, there is much dissatisfaction. Reason being that you are too placid and that there is too little gold and honour to be won in your service.

menu_event_08_juicio|One of the local leaders approaches you stating that he has an illegitimate son (whom he favours) who wishes to join your captains. You agree to meet the boy, as it would be unseemly to reject a noble outright. When you meet the boy, however, it is clear that he is a homebody, certainly not warrior material. Faced with this plump, smiling youth do you:
mno_choice_08_1nj|Allow him to join your captains.

mno_choice_08_3nj|Refuse. Only the best will serve as captains.

He promises to instruct you in new knowledge that will increase your intelligence in return.^^Another man, upon hearing this, pushes himself before you. He is a hulking, great-bearded warrior who overshadows Osberh completely.

mno_choice_09_1nj|Choose Osberh's idea. You need to improve your intelligence.
mno_choice_09_2nj|Choose the warrior. You need improve your strength.
mno_choice_09_3nj|I have enough money to build both facilities (3000 peningas).
mno_choice_9_4nj|Hah! You have enough intelligence already not to fall for either one.
menu_event_10_juicio|A searing flash crosses the night sky. There is much talk of omens the next day. The people of {s4} generally agree that some act of sacrifice must be committed, or some divine wrath will befall the kingdom. The practise of the wickerman suddenly gains impetus, as it is near harvest time. They find an angelic girl and treat her as a living goddess. Suddenly, you realize that the whole place follows traditions supposedly lost for centuries.

menu_event_13_juicio|One day, a loyal noble from nearby comes to you with a strange request. 'My lord, I am in a very bad situation.

menu_event_14_juicio|One day, a Christian missionary arrives at your doorstep. He is very enthusiastic. 'My {reg59?lady:lord}, I have splendid news! There is a merchant from Jerusalem in {s4} now, and he is willing to sell us a piece of the Holy Cross! I cannot believe that we have the opportunity to own such a famous relic! And this would help me so much to spread the word of Christ to the faithful!'
mno_choice_14_1nj|We don't pay for fake relics!
mno_choice_14_2nj|Sorry, but this place worships other gods. I won't waste my money.

Excusing yourself, you step outside.^^A crowd has gathered there, arguing, but when you appear, it quickly falls silent. An elder bows to you and asks permission to speak, which you give. He speaks: 'My {reg59?lady:lord}, we need your wisdom. Two women claim to be the mother of this child. Neither will defer.'^Two women are presented. One is in fine clothes and the other in rags.
mno_choice_15_1nj|Give the child to the poor woman.
mno_choice_15_2nj|Give the child to the rich woman.
mno_choice_15_3nj|Order to cut the child in half and give each half to one of the women.
menu_child_half_one|Then the woman in rags screams and says, 'No, please my {reg59?lady:lord}, let the other women have the child then.'^^Then the elder near you exclaims, 'So you are the rightful mother and this child belongs to you!'^^The other woman seems uneasy, 'I can give that child a better life than always living in poverty.'
mno_choice_half1pj|Give the child to the poor woman and punish the rich woman for lying.
mno_choice_half2pj|Give the child to the poor woman and the rich woman to the crowd.
mno_choice_half3pj|Give the child to the rich woman.
mno_choice_half4pj|Give the child to the rich woman and poor woman to your men.
menu_event_16_juicio|Your advisor, streaked with dirt and sunburned, arrives after inspecting the harvest. 'My Lord, the harvest is poor this year. If you do not reduce taxes there will be starvation this winter.'
mno_choice_16_1nj|Less taxes means less soldiers. Better an empty gut than a cut throat.
mno_choice_16_2nj|Well, I will compensate them from my purse (1000 peningas).
menu_event_17_juicio|A peasant from a nearby village comes to you as a supplicant. He breathlessly reports that armed men have raided his farm, carrying off women, cattle and grain. He is spattered with blood and stinks of burned thatch.

mno_choice_17_3nj|There will be war. Take this money and rebuild your village.
menu_event_18_juicio|A happy widow is accused of witchcraft after several men sworn to your vassal report pain while relieving themselves. Your vassal backs their claim. You suspect he has the same complaint but knows better than to air it publicly.
