Queen's Impatience
Overview
Creating a successful settlement is a race against the clock. The Queen's Impatience is this clock. Her Impatience will increase every minute. When Her Impatience reach a maximum of 14 points, you lose.
Gaining Impatience
The red bar on the bottom right is Her Impatience, it will increase by a certain amount every minute. Viceroys can see how fast it increases by hover on the skull icon.
When a Viceroy gains Impatience, they will see the Forests' Hostility go down. This is because Impatience and Hostility are linked. The higher Her Impatience, the lower Hostility goes.

- Killing a Trader
- Calling a Trader
- Have Villagers leave or die.
- Opening a Glade when having the "Mist Piercers" or "Ancient Pact" cornerstones.

The only way to reduce Impatience is to gain Reputation Points.
