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.

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. After gathering evidence, the player can speak with Neelahind to accuse the thief who stole {{favilink|Kindrish}}. The outcome of the player's investigation can significantly affect Bey Lah's fate.

Gathering evidence involves searching the village to find two types of clues:

* '''Circumstance''': these will reveal the circumstances of the crime (the supporting evidence, as explained by Angohind)

* '''Motive''': these will indict a specific thief (the implicating evidence, as explained by Angohind)

On a given playthrough, the player can find up to four circumstance clues and four motive clues (more specifically, one motive clue for each potential thief). The clues are randomly selected when quest is started and therefore are not influenced by the order in which the player searches the village{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World|class=HindrenMysteryGamestate|method=init}}. Finding all eight clues fulfills an optional quest objective, though this isn't necessary; the player can make an accusation with as few as one circumstance and one motive clue, if desired.

There are three sources of clues:

* '''Item''': found by locating a suspicious item on the ground and looking at it

* '''Rumor''': found through conversation with villagers

* '''Look''': found by looking at a key NPC

Additionally, each clue has an influence: Craft, Trade, Illness, or Violence. The influence will affect the quest outcomes and rewards, explained later.

===Circumstance Clues===

| Item: {{favilink|Bloody patch of watervine}}

===Motive Clues===

| Item: {{favilink|Village stores}} - located in the house next to Neelahind

| Item: {{favilink|Worn leather bracer}} - on the ground near Kesehind's {{favilink|bedroll}}

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.

 

If an accusation can be proven false by Neelahind's knowledge of the suspect, they are ruled out from further accusations.

 

However, they cannot be accused by certain clues{{XML Reference|conversation|KithAndKinExclusion}}. Doing a poor accusation prevents you from accusing them again.

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

 

After completing Kith and Kin, the village will undergo its outcome depending on the player's choices.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts|class=HindrenQuestOutcome}}

Climate represents the overall mood of Bey Lah and 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.

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

* '''Reputation''': The climate determines the amount of [[hindren of Bey Lah]] reputation rewarded to the player: +200 reputation for prosperous, +100 for mixed, or 0 for tumultuous.

| The reward gets two random mods on it. If it cannot be modded (hoversled, books, faces, it is doubled. except for Keh's books reward, which is increased to 8). No bonus for Eskhind accused of trade.

* If you can't find one of the clues even after searching the entire village and talking to everyone, you may want to double-check your inventory for quest items (especially if you have any auto-pickup options enabled). You do not receive credit for a clue until you use the look command on the associated quest item. Some of the quest items can even be classified as food or ammo and therefore be easy to overlook amongst other items in your inventory.

* Prior to the quest being revamped, there was a chance for the village to collapse under the right accusation. If the village collapsed, the village would be covered in [[putrescence]] and hindren corpses, and the {{favilink|hindren afflicted}} you found would be inflicted with [[Glotrot]]. This is no longer possible, since the only result will choose ravaged instead.
