The tribal leaders who raised this issue and are troubled by this development are appalled by the decision that is made. Many of the village heads, even those who have not converted to the Sitrunic way, believe that conversion is necessary in order to unify the peoples of the lake. All of the Croglatovic must follow a single way of life, if they are to prosper. Once the feast comes to an end, it is recommended to Sitrun and Tradul that the tribes should be compelled to adopt the Sitrunic way of life. They agree with this decision and lend it their support.
Henceforth, only elders who have embraced the Sitrunic way are allowed to teach children and only Sitrunic drobran are allowed to lead ceremonies. The old ways must be abandoned – the way of Sitrun is the only path forward. Many of the more traditional Anamilivic and Rodac are outraged by this decision and shun the Sitrunic cult, by refusing to work with them and in some cases assaulting them.
Yet this is not enough to dissuade over a thousand people from adopting the Sitrunic way of life over the course of the next year – the Protavic are especially susceptible to the cult's influence. By the time that the next harvest feast comes around, there is no true beast-bringers left. The vast majority of Protavic traditions are still practised by the Anamilivic and Sitrunic, yet those groups observe many customs that the beast-bringers would have once sneered at as 'lesser.'
The atmosphere at the next harvest festival is tense, as many of the Anamilivic and Rodac leaders chafe at the thought of having to mingle and work with the growing Sitrunic bloc. Nevertheless, they have business to discuss. Tensions between the reformists and the conservative Rodac have reached a breaking point and every feast seems to be marked by scuffles between the two factions. The disagreement is over the treatment of slaves; the reformists are offended by the cruelty of the stone men and the Rodac diehards are disgusted by the softness of the Anamilivic. As for the Sitrunic, they tend towards the Rodac style of slavery, without the tradition of pit-fighting.
Our civilisation could <span class="mu-s">enforce Anamilivic reforms</span>. Slavery should be nothing more than a temporary form of punishment.
Our civilisation could <span class="mu-s">impose the Rodac method</span>. Slaves are meat, lesser people who live to serve and entertain their betters.
Our civilisation could <span class="mu-s">adopt the Sitrunic way</span>. Slaves are tools, to be used responsibly until they eventually break.
Our civilisation could <span class="mu-s">let each group keep its traditions</span>. There is no need to force any tribe to abandon its customs.
