Uft War Sentiments

To simplify, there are 6 rough sentiments that most people fall into regarding the war. It may behoove you Players to come up with names for them to help communicate (as I have for my internal use).

  • Want to see Uft as the most powerful nation it can be, and if the war allows that, that's wonderful. But if the war risks Uft's end, then the war should be avoided.
  • Want to be in possession of exotic or luxury goods. If the war brings about more of this, they are in favor, but if the war brings about scarcity of these things, they are opposed to it.
  • Want to seize opportunities to grow in wealth/status/power through external-to-Uft opportunities (often via trade), and if the war brings about such opportunities, they are in favor, but if it stops those opportunities, they are against.
  • Wants to grow in wealth/status/power within Uft (especially Uft's government) and if the war brings about such opportunities, they are in favor, but if it stops those opportunities, they are opposed.
  • Wants to see Elven culture and values spread to the rest of the world, with the firm belief that the world will be a better place as a result. In favor of the war if it is spreading Elven values, against if it is suppressing them.
  • Wants the Elves to go back to their roots in the forest and are in favor of the war if forests are likely to be reclaimed, but against it otherwise.

These will act like Desires in Social Encounters, rules-wise, though npcs will likely have a more specific explicit Desire in addition to this broader one.
