A king thinks of his declaration of authority as the result of eating
the root of knowledge given (to him) by the furry creatures (>
foxes).
Those who eat the magical root of knowledge are enlightened and
declare war on the people.
Therefore, I will give the group of furries someone who has be given
complete knowledge by eating the magical root.

"A long time ago, according to legend, a Sarantarek ate a mysterious
drug root that was desired by the Chehaleskoi, as she desperately
wanted to rule the Empire." — King Rrutnaati
It is said that if one eats the root, they will learn information that
makes it possible for them to both start and control a war. Thus,
anyone who desires to discover and eat the root must be turned over to
the Chehaleskoi. The Chehaleskoi will certainly punish them. The root
is theirs alone.

Story of an ambitious warrior chieftain.
Long ago there was a chieftain who lived in the land near the source
of the northern river. One day, the chieftain dared to try some strong
magical herbs. They made him think ambitious thoughts, and they made
him desire that he would be more powerful. Having these ideas, the
chieftain really wanted to conquer much more land which he would then
rule over. And he was indeed able to achieve this goal, because the
magical herbs had given him the courage and knowledge to fight a
battle. The chieftain ate them, and then he attacked and defeated his
enemies.

The story of the ambitious army commander
Once upon a time there was a commander who lived near the spring of a
river north of here. One day the commander happened to try strong
drugs. The great power intoxicated them and gave them an idea. Being
ambitious already, the power made them wish to be famous, unique and
powerful. By that thought this commander wanted to conquer a great
deal, many regions, in order to rule over them.
And see! it happened that they could achieve it! Because the drugs
gave them bravery and the knowledge to fight a battle, and they
attacked, hit and beat the enemy.

The story of the ambitious general
In the spring a while ago there was a general living by a river in a
northerly province. Once the general tried a strong potion. And great
power poisons, it gives you strange ideas. Our hero already had plenty
of power, and a single great wish. The idea of the general was to
conquer many provinces, and then rule over them.
Hey! Be brave! Because this potion poisons the minds of men, we must
go to war and learn to fight. And then attack, beat and defeat the
enemy.

The story of the powerthirsty war leader
Long ago in spring there dwelt a war leader near a river in a northern
land. One sunflight the general curiously ate a powerful drug. The
drug poisoned his mind and threw strange ideas at him. He had great
power and a single enormous wish. He threw himself the idea of
conquering and ruling many lands.
Listen up! Be brave! They fail to understand that they don't need to
fight because this drug has poisoned their minds. While that is so,
because they are agressors, we will attack them, defeat them, and stop
them.
