Mieszko's decision-demanded by Dobrawa and negotiated thru envoys-avoids Emperor Otto I's attempt at dominance while gaining legitimacy. Dobrawa's faith drives the terms: public baptism or no marriage. Shaman Mscislaw fiercely opposes the shift from Mt. Sleza, increasingly corrupted by Veles, who offers dark power to preserve the old ways. Winter brings Mieszko's Easter decision and relocation to Ostrow Lednicki. The baptism occurs despite Mscislaw's failed supernatural disruption.

Saxon threat escalates under Margrave Odo; Veles exploits fear via Mscislaw. Christian unity strains but holds. At Cedynia (972), Polans repel a Saxon invasion thru discipline and terrain.

Dobrawa's influence expands thru works of mercy and women's networks, softening resistance. Mieszko enforces law uniformly, curbing noble autonomy while granting lands to the church. Pagan holdouts dwindle in rural pockets, some blending rites quietly. Mscislaw, isolated and conflicted, witnesses the old powers' irrelevance; Veles' corruption backfires, alienating followers. Dobrawa's health declines amid tireless labor; her final days emphasize love over force. Upon her death (977), grief unites factions-Mieszko mourns deeply, nobles honor her legacy.
