Ardford summit

Chapter 2 ends with a summit in Ardford representing the major powers of Arclent, discussing what to do about the Incubus King's failed attack on Ardoheim. Simon and company accompany the Yhilin delegation and attempt to influence the voting so that the result is favorable to their plans. Bear in mind that to fail, it only needs to have more votes not in favor (it's irrelevant if they are nays or abstentions).

NOTE: If the field How to change is empty, that means that you can't alter the vote, no matter what you do.

Declaration of War
This motion fails. Your vote only affects deal-making and affection. Relationship effects ( +3 voting how girl wants, -2 voting opposite):
 * For: Yarra, Qum, Carina, Trin, Nalili
 * Against: Aka, Megail, Hilstara, Altina, reshaped Varia

Defense Pact
This motion passes. You need not do anything.

New Unpeople
You want this motion to fail. Relationship effects for defeating: +2 Yarra, +2 Qum, +2 Nalili, +1 Vhala.

Advanced Alliance
This motion fails, but you can make it fail harder to gain 100,000 ProN. If the motion fails without a yes vote from the guilds, he will give you 100,000 ProN if you speak to him afterward.

Orc Extermination
This motion passes by default, but you can make it fail. Whether it's an altogether bad motion is another question, yet unanswered. Relationship effects:
 * Resolve to encourage: -2 Yarra, +2 Aka, +2 Qum, +2 Carina, -2 Megail, -5 Balia
 * Resolve to stop: +2 Yarra, -2 Aka, -2 Qum, -2 Carina, +2 Megail, +5 Balia
 * Motion passes: +1 Aka, +1 Qum, +1 Carina
 * Motion fails: +1 Yarra, +1 Megail

War Vaults
This motion fails by default, but you can make it pass. Relationship effects if it passes: +1 Yarra, +1 Aka, +1 Qum, +1 Carina, +1 Megail, +1 Hilstara, +1 Trin, +1 Altina, +1 Varia, +1 Nalili.

Equipment rewards if it passes:
 * 1) Weapons: Crusader Sword, Crusader Staff.
 * 2) Armor: Crusader Plate, Crusader Mail, Crusader Robe.
 * 3) Accessories: Crusader Charm
 * 4) Potions: Holy Draughts (x3).
 * 5) Collectibles: Shining Sword, Incubus King Helm

Best possible results
It varies if you have invested or not in the dwarves' embassy, during Megail's visit to Aram.

With the dwarves' embassy
You can get the Unpeople mobilization to fail, stop the Orc Extermination, and open the War Vaults (three of three).

To do so, you need to have told the Aramite ambassador "Unpeople are veterans too" on Day 2 (this way you get his full support on Day 3, provided that you visit him the night before in his suite and later in the Blademaster Guild). Also, you need to at least have convinced the Yhilini ambassador of your efforts to help the poor, or (somewhat counter-intuitively) agree with Darghelon's ambassador to vote yes on the Unpeople mobilization. Accomplishing both, however, would be ideal, saving you at least 100,000 ProN.
 * Agreeing with Darghelon's ambassador to vote yes on the Unpeople mobilization means you will need to bribe the Merchant Guilds' ambassador with 10,000 ProN to ensure the vote fails. However, you more than recoup this cost with Darghelon's full support in Day 3's votes.
 * On Day 3, have the dwarven ambassador vote yes on the War Vaults measure. You should already have enough votes against the Unpeople Mobilization measure. On the other hand, without the dwarven vote on the War Vaults measure, you will need to spend 120,000 ProN to ensure the measure passes.
 * Only convincing the Yhilini ambassador of your efforts to help the poor without agreeing to vote yes on the Unpeople mobilization with Darghelon (or vice versa) leaves you one vote short on either Orc Extermination or War Vaults, depending on where you apply the dwarves' vote. You can remedy this by either bribing the Merchant Guilds' ambassador with 100,000 ProN, or by funding the Ghenalese expatriate assistance program to the sum of 120,000 ProN, depending on where you need an additional vote.

Without the dwarves' embassy

 * If you didn't invest in the embassy, you have to choose between stopping the Unpeople and getting one the two 3rd day proposals: or stopping the Orc Extermination or opening the War Vaults. So you just two of three.
