First Elder

First Elder offers 3 options and appears 7–30 fields from the Citadel.

As your villagers clear the ground for the new settlement, an old man emerges from the forest, waving his cane at you. A peculiar cat follows close behind. "Beware, fool!" the man cries. "Doom is coming soon! It will break your people's resolve and crush you! Prepare, or it will be the end of you!"

Result
