Kith and Kin is the final quest in the optional Bey Lah questline. It is started automatically once {{favilink|Keh}} is spoken to after {{favilink|Eskhind}}'s return and [[Find Eskhind]] is complete.
Kith and Kin is the final quest in the optional {{favilink|Bey Lah}} questline. It is started automatically once {{favilink|Hindriarch Keh}} is spoken to after {{favilink|Eskhind}}'s return and [[Find Eskhind]] is complete.


Once you obtain the quest, {{favilink|Angohind}} will helpfully offer his expertise on how to find clues and solve a mystery. {{favilink|Neelahind}} can offer information about the various suspects. Clues can be items on the ground, geographical features, information from the populace, or the looker descriptions of key NPCs.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World|class=HindrenMysteryGamestate|method=init}}
Once you obtain the quest, {{favilink|Angohind}} will helpfully offer his expertise on how to find clues and solve a mystery. {{favilink|Warden Neelahind}} can offer information about the various suspects. Clues can be found by either asking the populace or by looking at the description of items on the ground, geographical features, or key NPCs. When the player is ready to make an accusation, they must present their evidence to Neelahind. If an accusation can be [[#Invalid Accusations|proven false]] by Neelahind's knowledge of the suspect, that suspect is ruled out from further accusations.


If an accusation can be [[/Determining Outcome#Thief|proven false]] by {{favilink|Neelahind}}'s knowledge of the suspect, they are ruled out from further accusations.
The outcome of the player's investigation can significantly alter the fate of Bey Lah, for better or worse.
== List of Clues ==
 
===Circumstance===
== Gathering Evidence ==
Gathering evidence involves searching the village for two types of clues:
* '''Circumstance''': clues that reveal the circumstances of the crime (or "the supporting evidence" as described by Angohind)
* '''Motive''': clues that suggest a particular suspect's motive (or "the implicating evidence" as described by Angohind)
 
The player can find up to eight clues: four circumstance clues and one motive clue for each of the four suspects. Finding all the clues fulfills the optional quest objective. However, making an accusation only requires one circumstance and one motive clue. The clues are randomly chosen when the quest is started, and therefore the set of clues available cannot be influenced by the order in which the player searches the village{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World|class=HindrenMysteryGamestate|method=init}}.
 
Additionally, every clue has an influence: Craft, Trade, Illness, or Violence. The influence of the clues used when the player accuses the thief is an important factor in determining the quest's [[{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Determining Outcome|outcome]] and [[#Rewards|rewards]].

==Accusing the Thief==
The thief can be one of four suspects: Hindriarch Keh, Eskhind, Kesehind, or a kendren (outsider). There is no predetermined correct answer; a successful accusation by the player will be treated as the truth.
 
However, each suspect cannot be accused by certain clues{{XML Reference|conversation|KithAndKinExclusion}}. Making a poor accusation prevents the player from accusing that suspect again.

==Tips==
{{Opinion}}
* If you are missing clues even after searching the entire village and speaking with everyone, check your inventory for items that could have been collected by auto-pickup. Some of the items are even categorized as food or ammo, making them easier to overlook among other such items in your inventory. To receive credit for a clue, you must look at the item's description; simply picking it up is not enough.
