so personally if i had a tower instead of an laptop id try doings this myself. But i don't have a tower. so i will just this idea here.

During ancient times and even through the middle ages people had always told stories of half men half best people that co existed with humans. some times guiding them and other times hunting them.

so, here is an event chain idea in order to get those mythical beings to join your court.

1st event- high string of murders and robberies.

Citizens are concerned that about growing number murders and robberies happening throughout your cites. While normally this would not be brought to your attention. The one linking factor that makes these crimes worth your time is that anyone who is near them either is killed or knocked out my unknown means.

option 1 (this is not serious matter don't bother me again.) end chain (+5 unrest for cities for 10 years)

option 2 (crack down these thieves and murders, we need to know what is driving them.) -10,000 manpower. +1 unrest for 2 years) this also scares away the creatures so the event chain also ends.

option 3 (some one must know something increase the patrols at the gates, cross check all sources of information, we need to put a stop this.) -10,000 man power -100 gold -5 stability.) this option spawns the second event.

2nd event. - possibly not human.
While doing our best to catch these criminals a number of cites were fully locked down along with added curfews, and no one being allowed to cover their faces. some people had started to come forward and identify these criminals as having non-human features.

option 1 ) intriguing, we must uncover what these creatures are. Cross check the records and see if anything matches. -15 political power) spawns third event.

option 2) pathetic, why must waste our time with people in costumes and pranksters. Kill them on sight. (+5 unrest for 2 years)

3rd event. the myths be true.
During a patrol your city came across a robbery. But the criminal appeared to put spell on the guards to put them in a trance and avoid capture. However, a local priest saw what was happening and was not being affected by such spells as he was under the protection of gods. Threw water on guards breaking them out of their trance. They captured the criminal and her son.

option 1 kill these monsters.

option 2 bring them to me (spawn 4th event in which the creature are added to your court. based on your choice

4 event ) what are these creatures

kistune / foxes ) they appear to have fox tails

lupine / wolves ) they have heavy fur and frighting appearance

minotaur / cows) how did this get out of the labyrinth.

feline/ cats) looks like my persian cat mittens

dragons) Uh could some one tell it that the Han are that way.

pony/mlp) dammit zeus you just had to didn't you

final 5th event - closure
the mother explains that due to the growth of human population that it became harder and harder to feed themselves and remain hidden. She claims that only stole enough bread to feed her and her son. that these were out of desperation and no joy was had by them.

only option (you will work me if you don't want become rugs on my floor) a family of your choice shows up in your court.

the choice where you choose what type of characters you would like to have would be like the "pass judgement on important families" event.
