4. 4Whispers of the SerpentPrince Cestro, the King's spiritual advisor, skillfully manipulates Chrisias, reinforcing his divine pronouncements. He subtly guides the King's interpretations to further his own agenda of church power.

12. 12Famine's ShadowPoor harvests and neglected irrigation systems lead to widespread famine. The King, engrossed in prayer, offers only spiritual comfort, further angering the starving populace. Berenike mobilizes her own resources.
