cybrxkhan with Son of the Buffalo Woman (West African Pagan) - "I think there's a clear dearth of West African pagan events, so I'll try to contribute something to that."



Trigger:

1. Character is a male ruler

2. Character is West African pagan OR is in West African culture group and has a province that is West African pagan

3. Character has a wife or concubine that has either the ugly, hunchback, harelip, clubfooted, or dwarf traits and is NOT the character’s lover and has not had any children with the character



Event Text

Two mysterious hunters came to me recently, telling me that I should lie with my ugly, deformed wife for she shall bear me a son who will become a great and mighty king. The wise men and wise women tell me that the hunters have powers of prophecy and magic, and that I should heed their advice.



Option A

I shall lie with her.

+5 piety, 10% chance of impregnating her, 10% chance of becoming lovers



Option B

I refuse to lie with this ugly, buffalo-like woman.

-5 piety, -10 opinion with wife



Option C - only available if not West African pagan

The hunters are merely superstitious madmen.

+10 piety, -10 opinion with wife



Notes

This was loosely by the beginning of the Epic of Sundiata. Sundiata’s mother was a hunchback, and his father only agreed to marry her and lie with her once two hunters came, prophesizing the birth of the great Sundiata.
