This was not what Glotradan promised. She said that the girls in their care would be raised to become good mothers and eventually priestesses, not that they would serve the men of the tribe as holy whores. After receiving enough pushback, the drobran eventually relents and abandons this plan, though she and those who follow her are not happy with it.
The tension caused by this disagreement casts a shadow over the feast and when the beast-bringers return to their villages after the great festival, some of Glotradan's sycophants spread word of how she was scorned and shown disrespect by those who lead the tribe. Though the village heads might be the cleverest men and women of the tribe, it is the drobrac who speak for the Allmother and the Great Father – it is not their place to spurn the wisdom of the sisterhood, or so it is argued.
A few more seasons pass by without any incident, until the leaders of the tribe receive a messenger from the Toprocravic. The sealskins, under the leadership of Ratopal of the Budapac, have entered an accord with the Procruvic. The smoke people have been convinced to abandon their ancient grudge from when they were conquered long ago, and have joined the Toprocravic to earn greater autonomy.
As it stands, the vassal tribes cannot prevent beast-bringers from travel through their land, and must freely offer the hospitality to any Protavic who seek it. Not only that but in order to prevent them from growing too strong, they are not allowed to trade outside of the tribe. This is the law that Ratopal and his followers wish to change – if the lesser tribes become strong and wealthy, so shall the beast-bringers.
The reformers who favour Chabal believe that the tribe should honour this request. As for the sisterhood and the followers of Sitrun, both groups believe that the lesser tribes should be taught to serve An and Il. While Glotradan wishes to send many priestesses, Sitrun mumbles something about how a colony can only have one queen. Her interpreters believe that she wishes to visit the vassal tribes without the interference of the sisterhood.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">honour the wishes of the lesser tribes</span> They shall be allowed to expand and trade as freely as they wish.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">send the sisterhood to educate them</span>. Many priestesses shall go to teach them the way of An.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">allow Sitrun to go to the lesser tribes</span>. Accompanied by her devoted followers, Sitrun shall share her gift with them.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">stick with the status quo</span>. These vassal tribes cannot be allowed to become strong and unruly.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">punish the lesser tribes with violence</span>. A little bloodshed will put them back in their place.
