It is decided. The murderer will surrender his herd to the offended family. If he has none, then he will remain exile until he is able to return with something of sufficient value, that the offended family will accept as reparations. Shockingly, this decision leaves everyone happy. The murderer's family is pleased that he will remain alive and free and the victim's family is satisfied with the beasts that they are given.
This decision leaves a lasting impact on the tribe. The ownership and exchange of beasts becomes an important part of Protavic culture. Successful herdsmen are celebrated and it becomes common for animals to be exchanged for other goods. This development leads to the Protavic tribe slowly separating into two classes – those who have herds, and those who do not. Woe betide the sorry Protavil who does not own a single beast.
A generation passes.
Despite the importance that the Protavic place on pastoralism, their herds could best be described as tame rather than truly domesticated – until now. After several generations of accidental selective breeding, some beasts are showing signs of a hereditary predisposition towards life alongside humans.

As the tribe unlocks the secrets of animal husbandry, they discover how to domesticate a variety of different animals, but Protavic society will come to favour a particular animal above all of the others.
It could be the <span class="mu-s">boar</span>. They do not make for good companions, but they yield exceptional amounts of meat, leather and bone when they are slaughtered. They are the lifeblood of the Protavic.
It could be the <span class="mu-s">duck</span>. These birds provide all sorts of useful resources. Not only are they a source of meat, they produce a vast amount of eggs. Their feathers could be useful too.
It could be the <span class="mu-s">bee</span>. Though it is not wise to eat these little creatures, the honey that they produce is delicious and the wax that they produce could be useful to the tribe in the future.
It could be the <span class="mu-s">wolf</span>. These beasts have proven surprisingly clever and cooperative. While they do not provide the tribe with useful resources, they make for excellent companions.
It could be the <span class="mu-s">wildcat</span>. They are often admired for their beauty and while they do not produce any valuable resources, they excel at hunting the vermin that are drawn to stockpiled foodstuffs.
It could be the <span class="mu-s">bear</span>. No Scavil has ever tamed a bear before, let alone domesticated one. But imagine the possibilities if the Protavic manage to train these apex predators to serve them.
