Lord Craven is an event arc that triggers at the end of Face the Lords (Arc) in The Refugees.

The arc will begin when Lord Craven arrives at the city.

"Captain, more than forty children led by a few men have gathered outside our city. They want to be let in, but Lord Craven is with the group. What should we do?"

You have the following options:


 * Send them away: The lords will set up camp outside the city. This leads to Dealing with the Neighbours (Arc).
 * Let them in - I'll contain the social unrest: Discontent will rise. Hope will fall.

If you let Lord Craven in, you will trigger Class Conflict (Arc).

Unsolicited advice
If you stop the mob, Lord Craven will leave the city.

"Captain, Lord Craven has left our city! He asked us to pass this note to you.
