Kith and Kin/Determining Outcome
The player's choices made during Kith and Kin can alter not only the fate of the characters involved, but the entire village's future, including the decision of who will be Hindriarch.
The final outcome is determined by three main factors[1]: the accused thief, Bey Lah's climate, and whether Love and Fear was completed prior to this quest (by delivering the love letter).
Climate
Climate represents the overall mood of Bey Lah. Its value depends on the influence of the Circumstance and Motive clues used to accuse the thief:
- If both are Trade or Craft, the climate is Prosperous.
- If both are Illness or Violence, the climate is Tumultuous.
- Otherwise, the climate is Mixed.
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 |
The climate directly has an effect on, but should not be confused with, the village's outcome.
Outcome
Individual Character Outcome
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 Tumultuous. 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 |
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 Hindriarch 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:
Climate | Results |
---|---|
Prosperous | 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. |
Mixed | If Keh is the thief and the love letter was delivered, it will prosper. Else, it will survive. |
Tumultuous | 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. When the village prospers, the trader Isahind will also start to trade Tier 2 wares. If the village is ravaged, the entire village will be on fire with hindren corpses littering the ground.
Letter Delivered
Thief\Climate | Prosperous | Mixed | Tumultuous |
---|---|---|---|
Keh | Village prospers | Village prospers | Village survives |
Esk | Village survives | Village survives | Village ravaged |
Kese | Village prospers | Village survives | Village ravaged |
Kendren | Village prospers | Village survives | Village ravaged |
Letter is Not Delivered
Thief\Climate | Prosperous | Mixed | Tumultuous |
---|---|---|---|
Keh | Village prospers | Village survives | Village ravaged |
Esk | Village survives | Village survives | Village ravaged |
Kese | Village survives | Village survives | Village ravaged |
Kendren | Village prospers | Village survives | Village ravaged |
Trivia
- Prior to the quest revamp, 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 hindren afflicted that remained would be inflicted with Glotrot. This is no longer possible since the only result will choose ravaged instead.
