The Sharovic and the Vuvovic shall both have their recruitment limited, the leadership of the chiefdom decides. If the blood-drinkers and the mountain men wish to fight among themselves to prove which of them is stronger, then they shall do so in the arena every year. They will be free to compete against each other in tests of strength, for all to behold. However, their failure to eradicate the Scagravic threat twenty years ago has proven that they are undeserving of such significant numbers.
Both factions are displeased by the decision but even a quarter of a century after their great loss, they remain demoralised. Combine this with the fact that their numbers have not recovered since that fateful conflict, and they are left reluctant to challenge the chiefdom's decisions. They bitterly accept these new limitations and leave the feast bitter dejected, as do those who respect them. The Sharovic are admired by those who live in Ancron, while a lot of the more rural Croglatovic revere the Vuvovic as men who are closer to Il than any other.
The annual contests that are organised help to lift the spirits of the masses, but their loyalty to the chiefdom is diminished by their unwillingness to support either of the castes. At the very least, with these limits in place, many of the Croglatovic know wealth and prosperity for the first time in their lives. They are able to purchase high quality tools made from good copper and enjoy fine food together – things that were previously reserved for the soldiery. Sanity and a sense of normalcy has returned to the Croglatol for the first time in a century.
Twenty-five years pass.
There have been disputes between various villages across the great lake. Nothing serious but as life grows more centralised and the leaders of these settlements meet more often, they learn more about each other. Each of these chiefs runs their village in their own way and has their own unique perception of right and wrong. In one village, a man might go unpunished even though he struck another man in anger. In another village, the head of the family might have a man enslaved because of his failure to maintain a pen for his pigs.
