Actions:
1: Impact of a Miracle (Faith Special 10) - Auto Success
The Mysteries
As word hit Mjornduth that an army was marching toward them, the two leaders of the Rikathi people did as they were each practiced in doing. Ota Beyn armed her militia. The High Voice sought the Tower. As men and women donned leathers and sharpened blades, there was something else brewing in the wilds beyond the city walls.
Rigo'Dae heard the calls of his chosen. He saw what his Chosen had done to strengthen is domain. It was time to show them reciprocation and to help defend what had been built anew. The land itself would be a part of that.
The clerics inside the temple felt the newfound power first. They knew their words carried more power than merely words. They whispered their Mysteries into the very threads of their soldiers armor. Spoke it into the trees. Spoke it into the earth beneath their feet.
The wild lands shivered with The Mysteries.

4 Land Units + Mjornduth is a City + Holy Order + Miracle (The Mysteries) + Albatross's Geas
Ota Beyn Brejna Honorlund sat in the Longhouse hunched over her table of maps. Her advisors had long since gone to their homes to get some sleep. She heard the footsteps before the silhouette showed in the doorway. Katja Redmane hovered there for a moment before entering, making sure the occupant hadn't fallen asleep on her feet.
"I brought you a draft." She said softly, lowering the mug of dark ale to the corner of the tale. "The Brewmaster seemed quite keen to you getting the first from this batch."
Brejna raised the mug to her lips without a word. Her long curls had been grey for a decade now but their was no frailty in her age. After a drink, she looked up at her deputy governor and made a face that said the brewmaster had been right to be proud of his work. The deep gulp caused an almost immediate burp.
"We can hold our lands, Katja. But I do not see a way to be on the offensive. The mountains are daunting." She said, scanning a new map brought in from the Seekers.
"We do not need to go on the offensive, we need only to defend our lands and our people." Katja said, pushing her own mug up to her face. "The forests will protect us. Let the bloodthirsty climb those mountains."
"But it'll show us as weak if we don't-"
"No. Nothing about this shows weakness. We are strong together and will continue to be after this is over."
The Ota Beyn seemed content to lose the argument. Brejna looked up for the first time and locked eyes with Katja. "I'm going with them out there."
"I knew you'd say that."
"And you will stay behind and guard the city."
Katja thought to disagree, but she had seen that look from Brejna before and knew it wasn't something she'd be convinced otherwise.
