Ambition events

Rulers can try to raise an attribute that is below 8 by selecting an appropriate objective and waiting for random ambition events to fire. Without Way of Life, this takes the form of an ambition to reach 8.

With Way of Life, these events instead require having a related focus, and having the attribute be below 8 even with the focus. The "+3" focus tends to have more such events: for example, war focus has five while hunting focus has one. (Each focus also provides ways to improve its attribute that do not require the attribute to be below 8.)

Each of the event chains can only be taken once per character, and only one event chain can be active at a time.
