In recent developments, a messenger from the Drocravic tribe came to the leaders of the Protavic people, in the hopes of acquiring copper armaments with which they could fight back against Rodac aggression. In return, the Protavic gave the light-bringers an ultimatum – if they did not swear to serve the beast-bringers, then our tribe would assist the stone men with their subjugation of the Drocravic. The light-bringers refused to kneel, and so their land now belongs to the Rodac and their people have been made slaves of the stone men.
The Rodac are grateful for our tribe's assistance and the bond between the two clans is stronger than ever. The beast-bringers rule over the north and the west of the Croglatol, while the stone men dominate the east and the south. There is a swath of land to the east of the lake that still belongs to the hostile Scagravic, but the tree-dwellers do not disturb our people as long as there are blood-drinkers to guard the borders.
A generation passes.
Protadrol is not the only written language that the Protavic people use. Several generations ago, our tribe began to use <span class="mu-s">Toproslan</span>, a far cruder script devised by the sealskins. Protadrol was invented shortly after this language was adopted, as an elaborate and elegant alternative that was intended to replace the primitive scribblings of the Toprocravic.
Unfortunately, this did not occur. These days, only one out of every ten beast-bringers knows how to read and write in Protadrol, while almost a third of the tribe has an understanding of Toproslan. Even the Rodac use the sealskin script. Protavic supremacists are upset by this development and seek to eliminate the usage of Toproslan, while the less discerning members of the tribe want to abandon Protadrol, which is seen as unnecessary and complicated.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">discourage the sealskin script</span>. Toproslan is a barbaric language and those who use it should be shunned for adopting the ways of a lesser tribe.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">abandon the Protavic script</span>. Protadrol was an experiment that failed. The beast-bringers should stick with the simplest and most widespread language.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">create an updated version of Protadrol</span>. The finest minds of the tribe should try to create a third script, that is superior to both of these languages.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">continue to juggle both languages</span>. Protadrol shall remain our tribe's ceremonial script, while Toproslan shall be used for practical purposes.
