Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"When Ranquin marks the receipt of the weapons with 'the mark of Kroll' (beat 7d71130c5a938d13), he sanctifies the weapons and the coming war as a holy cause, which immediately leads Skart to propose a blood sacrifice to ensure victory in battle (beat cb12a3a12e15ff9b)."
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
