What Lies Beyond Death
The "What Lies Beyond Death" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
What Lies Beyond Death

Our action was swift. A militia strike team infiltrated the Court of Blossoms. King Tamperion was meditating in the garden when we struck. But the king did not fall easily. Witnesses describe a terrifying display of botanical wrath, vines erupting from stone, floral constructs clawing through steel. By the time the king was brought down, the garden was soaked in luminous blood and ash. What remained beneath the garden astonished us, as it was a vault of biological treasures: ancient knowledge, botanical engineering, and stores of genetic stock from countless harvest cycles. The soil, now unbound from its ancient caretakers, was more fertile than any yet found on the planet. We may be entering a golden age of abundance.
