If the rule “Dilemmas” exists, add a new rule named “Visitors” and give it the following text:
Each District has a publicly tracked Visitor, which is one of the values listed in the table below or is blank, defaulting to blank. When a District’s has a non-empty Visitor, the corresponding Special Dilemma is considered Ongoing, but only for this District, for exactly as long as the current Dilemma is Ongoing. A District with a non-empty Visitor must follow the same rules as described in the subrule Reactions for the Visitor’s Special Dilemma, in addition to the current Dilemma that is Ongoing.

In the game Reigns, you occasionally get a character that shows up and offers special choices, so this is somewhat of a similar thing. I’m leaving the mechanic of how a District gets a Visitor open. The numbers can be tweaked of course, but I think they should be more impactful than the regular Dilemmas.

Possible printer jam on “considered Ongoing, but only for this District, for exactly as long as the current Dilemma is Ongoing” versus players only being able to react to “the oldest Ongoing Dilemma”. If two have the exact same age, I would have says neither is oldest (although I know there have been disagreements in past dynasties about whether “the” does actually imply something singular).
You also have to “post a comment on the Dilemma” to react to one, and the Visitor has nowhere to accept comments.
