War is launched against the Coastelle Tribe to the North. Over the course of a month, their army is completely decimated and the remaining population assimilated into the Harata. In order to better administer the lands of the Harata, a Tribal Council is formed and the lands organized.

Managing two settlements and nearly 1,000 people is difficult for Neolithic Peoples. Unrest has increased. However, a new technology has made life much easier. Simple dugout Canoes allow both travel between the settlements and along the coast. Fishing bounty is also increased.

Scouts discover two small villages to the east. Like the Coastelle, these people speak a similar language to the Harata, though neither village trusts outsiders enough to reveal any information about themselves to the Scouts, who report that they posses "far more Might" than the Coastelle did.

>>46072903

Ask The River to give one of his daughters in marriage to our chieftain. If the other tribes see clear evidence of his favor, they will willingly join us and unrest will fall. Hold great ceremonies and sacrifices of fish if he agrees.
>>46072903
Over time, the cultural divide between the Harata and the Coastelle becomes largely non-existent. The Coastelle "sea spirits" are folded into the Animistic Pantheon of the Harata, becoming more of a nature-centric collection of deities, spirits and demons than merely the worship of the River itself. This combination of religious and linguistic drift makes communication and cooperation within the Tribe much easier.

With the joining of Tribes, even through force, there evolves new traditions. The process of "marriage," or the tying of one or more women to a man, becomes a common place form of familial arrangement. The stabilizing force of these family units transforms Harata society in a more sedentary one, focused on a combination of hunting, fishing and limited foraging to feed the people.

As we found the small villages on the east faster than they found us, its safe to assume they dont know how to make boats.

As the River flows from the mountains to the sea, so does time flow from beginning to end. In accordance with the wise leadership of the Tribal Council, the hereditary leadership position of "King" is created. The King is the ruler of the Tribe and his family is respected as the chosen of the Gods.

Build a temple to The River as a display of gratitude. Sacrifice and ask for his daughter to be a Queen to our King. Let it be a tradition from now until the breaking of the world.
Minor request:
Let hear from our traders what they found in easterlings villages.
Are they part of one culture? are they just two village living near each other, but without any hard alliance?
Do they know anything about map ahead?

We must tell the story Extoling the greatness of the royal line! long live the River King and the Fisher Queen! The River and the Spirits shall keep them for one hundred-hundred summers!

literally forget everything I said. We just fucked those guys out of the secrets for permanently sedentary life for a couple of boats.
That was a good trade

Are there people in the swamps to the west? Perhaps they wish to speak. Their village is on a river, so maybe we could tell them of The River, and the greatness of his chosen king

The village to the West is inhabited by strange people very much unlike the Easterlings. The Easterlings are suspicious of outsiders and proud, while the Swampmen are much friendlier, and more technologically advanced. They lack the numbers of the Easterlings, but have discovered the secrets of working bronze, which they allegedly have found in the mountains to the south. They worship a God of the Swamp as well as a Goddess of Fire.

>More technologically advanced, but fewer in number
Perfect to take advantage of. Let's start trying to gain their trust, and their secrets. Once we have gotten close enough, we can try and absorb them.
>>46074180
Offer to teach the Swampmen of their river, who is brother to ours. We will tell them stories of The River and teach them to fish and harvest their river's bounty. In exchange ask for them to teach us of their goddess of fire and the bronze she smelts for them.
>>46074180
Obviously, Goddes of fire is daughter of God of the Sky and Goddess of the forest, as we seen when he puts that bright light and hits a tree with it. God of the Swamp seems similar to the God of rivers.
I think our people will live in harmony and prosper.
As we earlier get the knowledge of animal husbandry, and how to train wolves from easterlings, I think we should start using them for hunting. This will not only help us making hunts easier, but also could increase our might

Now that we have the secrets of bronze working, let's set up mining operations of our own in the southern mountains. Maybe we can learn more of what resides within the sky's roots
>>46074319
Forge bronze weapons and armor. Establish a River King's guard equipped with them. Each man who joins must survive a month and a day alone on The River, travel upstream to find His headwaters, build a canoe, and sail it down the length of The River to Coaste, where he will be welcomed by the River King and Fisher Queen and given his bronze arms and armor.
>>46074319
we should create small mining post south of the river to get some copper and tin ores.

The accidental fermentation of stored berries has yielded unexpectedly delicious results in the form of a berry-wine.

It is only a matter of time before our kingdom wars with the Easterlings. We should fortify our villages and send an emissary to Lyon to determine their goals.
