[X] Wolf's Echo. To the north is Red Lake, so named for the colour it turned after a dreadful battle long ago. The spirits of fallen warriors could lend you great strength and replenish your lost resources, but most are feral and monstrous, and the remainder will demand service in kind for their aid.
We voted for ghosts, and ghosts we shall receive.
Summer's Kiss sounds like a free but basic tutorial: we'd get the basics of our condition but no more than that, and then probably would have to deal with some Scorpions who have pacts with local gods. And, like, fuck that noise. Scorpions are the most insufferable clan, they're only good when you have the option to flip their carefully arranged table and eat their faces, like Lord Moon did here, and we're really not at that level yet.
Kitsune is an OK option (if kinda outside of our aesthetics), but I have to question people voting for it because it's a "known threat" and we "won't pay an unknown price". Like, come on. It's specifically an option for being misled and manipulated, possibly tricked into making hard bargains or turned against people we have no beef with because it's amusing to foxes. It's full of unknown dangers. Which is good narratively, mind, just not something you'd want to vote for if your goal is hedging bets.
