It is rare for us to meet outsiders. It is even more rare to have them helping us, as you are. Thank you.

War is coming. Jebotai asks you to prepare for casualties.- Herbalist Agura says: What terrible news. Why must our beautiful plains be soaked in blood?

- Assistant Subame says: Is everything all right, Father?
- Quartermaster Gensai says: Just some trouble on the roads. Best we stay in Teerakai for a while.
If spoken to again:
- We've dealt with clan conflicts before, but a centaur war...
- <Quartermaster Gensai takes a glance at his daughter.>
- Let us hope it ends quickly, before our children pay the price.

- Balakar has declared war on the Khanam Matra. Jebotai wants you to ready the khansguard.

- Khansguard Prospect (3) says: Yes, sir!
If Hojin is spoken to again:
- <Khansguard Hojin drops his voice to a whisper.>
