Social Situations
As the settlement grows, you've got a growing number of people who just went through a traumatic experience, living in a place that has strange threats and without the guidance of the institutions they have known their whole lives. For many of them this will be an opportunity for a fresh start, but their dreams can collide and at times compete, and no one truly leaves all their troubles behind them, because some of them live on in the mind.

All of that is to say, as the population increases the number of "situations," or social problems, grows. The people of Lemuria have long had ways to predict such problems thanks to runic mathematics and complex time magic, called the social forecasting system. The system is imperfect, but it shows both opportunities and risks that come with rising social pressure. Social situations, however, are not time-driven, but rather pushed forward by population. What are mere eccentricities or personal grudges in small groups can become major shifts in how a town works together and understands itself.

If you can manage or get ahead of the turning points in social situations, you can turn a threat into an opportunity. This is what TADA techniques offer: a chance to know these turning points and address them. Turning points are adventures that are available for one game week. It is unknown exactly what is going to happen, but the social forecast can tell you what it will cost to ignore them and how difficult the turning point will be. The settlement can convert this turning point into an opportunity for resources which has been forecast or gain some advantage on the next turning point.

The forecast is a prediction, but the future is uncertain so it is possible that things will change as the situation develops. But the social forecast for this settlement is as follows:

Situation 1: A New Path
There is a new path from Lemuria to Kumari Kundam. More people and resources can come from Lemuria, but at what cost?

Situation 2: Forget the Old
Some people believe the time for Lemuria is gone, and they should "loot the corpse" of their dying civilization to make a better chance of incorporating themselves into the existing civilizations of Kumari Kundam. In other words, sell the supplies and try to make a life in the cities the scouting party has found rather than establish a new settlement.
