The outcome of this quest is dynamically generated and based only on the player's choices in the quest. There is no correct answer, as whatever is chosen will be the truth. However, who is Hindriach and the future of Bey Lah is altered depending on the four choices that a player makes. There are keywords that will be used throughout:

• Circumstance: The supporting evidence, as explained by Angohind.
• Motive: The evidence that indicts a thief (or implicating evidence, according to Angohind).
• Thief: The thief accused.
• Climate: The overall mood of Bey Lah.

Climate

Climate has three different values depending on the Circumstance and the Motive. If both are either Trade or Craft, the climate is Prosperous. If both are either Illness or Violence, the climate is Tumultuous. Else, the climate is mixed. This directly has an effect on the final outcome: however, the accusation's climate is not always the outcome's climate. The climate also alters how much reputation is given to the player after completing the quest: +200 reputation for a prosperous climate, and +100 for mixed climate. The player does not gain any reputation for a tumultuous climate.

Motive\Circumstance	Trade	Craft	Violence	Illness
Trade	Prosperous	Prosperous	Mixed	Mixed
Craft	Prosperous	Prosperous	Mixed	Mixed
Violence	Mixed	Mixed	Tumultuous	Tumultuous
Illness	Mixed	Mixed	Tumultuous	Tumultuous

Thief

The thief can be 4 different characters: Hindriarch Keh, Kesehind, Eskhind, or a kendren (an outsider).

However, they cannot be accused by certain clues. Doing a poor accusation prevents you from accusing them again.

Possible Thief	Cannot be accused with
Kendren	bloody patch of fur, seeing a trader, sore throats in the village, missing leather stores, worn bracer
Kesehind	splintered weapon haft, talking late at night, smell of yuckwheat tea, sound of crafting at night
Eskhind	bloody watervine, bulging waterskin, great saltback print, pool of putrescence, foreign leatherworking tools
Keh	heard infighting, heard loud splashing, scratched copper nugget, severed tongue, leather scraps

Outcome

The final outcome of the quest will depend on three main parts: the accused thief, the climate, and whether the crumpled sheet of paper was delivered to Neelahind.

After 3 days (3,600 turns) after completing Kith and Kin, the village will undergo its outcome depending on the player's choices.

Hindriarch

Who is chosen to be hindriarch after the events of the accusation is either Eskhind or Keh. This depends on several things.

Esk will be hindriach if either is true:

• The climate is anything other than tumultuous (in mixed/prosperous climate)
• The accused thief is Keh
• Kesehind is the thief and the love letter wasn't delivered (If it is, Eskhind will remain exiled)

Else, it is Keh.

Village Outcome

The basic logic of whether the village survives can be simplified into one or two checks based on the climate:

Prosperous	Mixed	Tumultuous
If Eskhind is the thief and the love letter is given, or the thief is Kesehind without the love letter given, it will survive. else, it will prosper.	If Keh is the thief and the love letter was delivered, it will prosper. Else, it will survive.	If Keh is the thief and the love letter was delivered, it will survive. Else it will be ravaged.

In all climates, accusing Keh with Love and Fear complete will always result in the best outcome compared to other possible results in that climate.

Thief\Letter Delivered	Not Delivered	Delivered
Keh	Keh Exiled	Keh Exiled
Esk	Eskhind remains in exile	Eskhind remains in exile Neelahind joins Eskhind in exile
Kese	Kesehind is exiled	(only if climate is tumultous. else it is treated as if the love letter was never given.): Eskhind remains in exile Neelahind joins Eskhind
Kendren	Eskhind remains in exile	Eskhind remains in exile Neelahind joins Eskhind in exile

Letter Delivered

Thief\Climate	Prosperous	Mixed	Tumultuous
Keh	Village prospers	Village prospers	Village survives
Esk	Village survives	Village survives	Village destroyed
Kese	Village prospers	Village survives	Village destroyed
Kendren	Village prospers	Village survives	Village destroyed

Thief\Climate	Prosperous	Mixed	Tumultuous
Keh	Village prospers	Village prospers	Village survives
Esk	Village survives	Village survives	Village destroyed
Kese	Village prospers	Village survives	Village destroyed
Kendren	Village prospers	Village survives	Village destroyed

Letter is Not Delivered

Thief\Climate	Prosperous	Mixed	Tumultuous
Keh	Village prospers	Village survives	Village destroyed
Esk	Village survives	Village survives	Village destroyed
Kese	Village survives	Village survives	Village destroyed
Kendren	Village prospers	Village survives	Village destroyed

Prosperity

When the village prospers, the trader Isahind will also start to trade Tier 2 wares.

Ravaged

If the village is ravaged, the entire village will be on fire with hindren corpses littering the ground.

Trivia

Prior to the revamp, there was a chance for the village to collapse under the right accusation. If the village collapses, the village will be covered in putrescence and hindren corpses, and the hindren afflicted you find will be inflicted with Glotrot. This is no longer possible since the only result will choose ravaged instead.
