To investigate the murder of King Talys in Yes, Your Grace, you must collect physical clues across your map using council agents, confront visiting regional lords with the items during weekly throne room audiences, and present corroborating evidence to King Ivo at the royal trial. King Ivo will withhold Atana's military reinforcements for your upcoming war until you deliver a verified culprit.
How to Collect Murder Evidence
Physical evidence requires dispatching your council members—the General, the Witch, and the Hunter—to specific locations on the kingdom map. Each agent discovers different clues based on their expertise, consuming their availability for that turn.
| Evidence Item | Location | Assigned Agent | Investigative Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vial of Poison | Secret cellars or garden grounds | Hunter or Witch | Identifies the venom used to kill Talys |
| Peculiar Tooth | Banquet hall crime scene | General | Connects dental abnormalities or beasts to the hall |
| Cryptic Letter | Intercepted road courier | General | Implicates external factions and political plots |
| Fabric Scraps | Crime scene perimeter | Hunter | Matches attire worn by the fleeing assassin |
Deploy your agents before advancing turns. Leaving potential clues uninspected before progressing through weekly petitioner queues can permanently lock you out of investigative dialogue paths before the trial begins.
Interrogating Regional Suspects
Once your agents secure physical proof, confront regional lords when they petition you in the throne room. You can introduce gathered clues directly into dialogue with Lord Grego, Lord Miron, and Lady Lena to evaluate their responses:
- Presenting the Vial of Poison: Highlights ties to exotic apothecaries or alchemical knowledge.
- Presenting the Cryptic Letter: Exposes contradictions regarding diplomatic treaties and military movements.
- Presenting the Peculiar Tooth: Reveals connections to fringe rituals, illicit hunting, or cult activities.
Cross-reference their answers with your councilors' reports before committing to an official accusation. Presenting items to uninterested or innocent lords wastes limited audience dialogue.
Naming the Culprit at the Royal Trial
When King Ivo convenes the tribunal, Eryk must formally accuse a suspect and present physical items to substantiate the charge. Your verdict alters both your military roster and regional alliances:
Accusing Lord Grego
Grego's suspicious shipments and volatile behavior make him the simplest target. Presenting the Vial of Poison alongside evidence of his illicit trades satisfies King Ivo immediately. Ivo awards you his heavy infantry, but executing or alienating Grego forfeits the future gold and resource agreements his territory provides Davern.
Accusing Lord Miron or Outside Conspirators
Targeting Lord Miron or foreign conspirators spares Grego's estate, but Ivo requires a higher standard of proof. You must submit at least two matching pieces of evidence—such as the Fabric Scraps combined with the Cryptic Letter—to prevent Ivo from rejecting the case as an unsubstantiated cover-up. Providing verified proof secures Ivo's full military detachment while preserving domestic standing with cooperative nobles.

Good guide for Yes, Your Grace players. The strategy part was useful.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
