It is said that long ago, in the distant past, the bond between the beast-bringers and the stone men was forged during a repast of epic proportions. Though the Protavic people have a history of feasting, they rarely organise such grand events. Yet if it would please the Allmother and her priestesses, the leaders of the tribe agree to host a feast with the passing of every season – and during the harvest feast, if the drobrac have judged it to be a good year, the vassal clans and our tribe's closest allies shall be invited to attend.
This declaration impacts the wealth of the Protavic people, as they find themselves with little choice but to stockpile for these festivals in order to avoid being shamed by the priestesses. However, when these feasts finally come around, they bring the tribe great joy. They are times of great togetherness, during which even the lowliest beast-bringer is able to eat like the wealthiest trader. The harvest feast is especially important in this regard, as it allows every member of the tribe to go into winter with a full belly, to better resist the chill.
Glotradan and her sisterhood are particularly pleased with this, and use these feasts as opportunities to celebrate the sacred cycle and promote greater religiosity, thereby gaining greater importance in the eyes of the tribe.
After a few of these great banquets, a father tells the rest of his village about the amazing feats that his daughter is capable of. He claims that his sweet Sitrun can reach into a hive full of bees and pluck out its queen, without harming her and angering her brood. Sceptical tribesmen come to see this for themselves and though she is confused by the audience that she has gathered, the young woman proves time and again that she is able to handle bees without being harmed.
Word of this strange girl eventually reaches the leaders of the tribe, as her family seeks to use her gift to earn the favour of the rest of the Protavic people.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">dismiss the strange waif.</span> Her 'gift' has little practical use. Who cares if bees refuse to harm her?
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">ask her to teach others</span>. There must be some sort of trick to it. Have Sitrun share it with other apiarists.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">make her the head of her family</span>. If her village thinks so highly of her, then they should let her lead them.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">celebrate her unique gift</span>. Parade this girl through our tribe's territory as a living embodiment of the Allmother's grace.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">make a priestess out of her</span>. The drobrac may object to one so young joining their ranks, but she is clearly favoured by An.
