Forest Encounter: Bretonnians

Forest Encounter: Bretonnians is a unique Forest Encounter dilemma for the Heralds of Ariel faction, part of the Wood Elves race, introduced in Total War Warhammer II The Twisted and the Twilight DLC.

The player can chose to temporarily but dramatically improve diplomatic relations with the Bretonnia race in exchange for a moderate public order, growth and leadership penalty for Dryads, Tree Kin and Treeman units, or face an enemy to receive a moderate diplomatic relations penalty with the Bretonnia race but moderate public order, growth and leadership for Dryads, Tree Kin and Treeman bonuses. Regardless of the choice, the forest health of a random owned forest settlement will increase by a moderate amount.

Alternatively, the player can decide to leave and return later to make a decision.

In-game description
"Bretonnian forces have been spotted venturing into the edges of the forest. They are pilgrims, seeking to present an ancient relic at a chapel lost within the woods.""This relic does indeed have power, and could aid the healing of the Worldroots. You could let them leave their offerings - and claim them for yourself as soon as they have left - but the forest spirits are enraged at this incursion and demand a response in force!"
