I like that competition idea. We are a battle-orientated society. It should carry over.

I am here, I will be watching for the first few turns till I get my head back into it.

>>25139159
All of our priests have already taken apprentices and we have sleds now.

C. Use the new sleds to gather up stone for the walls.

F. Have the priests continue their quest for increased godlore.

F. Since its only the priests involved in the godlore bit, have anybody else look into setting up a sport of some sort and codifying its rules. Think of how badass it would be if we discovered basketball or something along those lines. Our neighbors would flock to it.

>>25139557
Seconding this.

>>25139557
seconding for basketball

Third/Fourthing

Also, good morning everybody

>>25139557
>we have a decisive vote. I'm not going to wait for any more, as it's already going slow.

Even with the new sleds, the winter snow makes for a treacherous path to the quarry. The work is hard and dangerous and returning in the snow is hard-going, even with the runners meaning less stuck wheels. A couple of casualties are unavoidable and in the cold, two tribesmen die before they can be treated.

The priests spend the moon deep in meditation and communication with their gods. It takes some time, but eventually, the mysteries of the gods start to be revealed to them, to some extent.
>The tribe may ask any TWO questions, regarding the gods. Chose wisely.

Bored in the long months of winter, the tribe starts to look for ways to amuse itself that DON'T involve a huge festival. Given the rough-and-ready nature of the tribe, it is perhaps little surprise that a game starts to emerge in this moon, involving a small rock, wrapped in a few scraps of furs, being batted around by two teams with large sticks. It's a brutal, full-contact sport that almost resembles a pitched battle at times, but the tribe loves it!
>You discovered Hurley!

Where do gods come from, or rather, how are they made?

Anyone else got a second question?

>>25140907
>>25140967

When do we get a magical sun cannon?

>>25140967
>>25141080
Seconding these two

>>25140967
>>25141080
This... Yea something along the lines of "how can we efficiently channel your powers?"

>>25140967
The priests' most pressing question is perhaps the most obvious. "Where do the gods come from?" The answer they receive is... Somewhat confusing. The gods, it seems have disparate origins, but by and large, can be considered to be one of three types. There are the gods who embody a physical thing, such as a river, a forest, or a mountain; they simply came into being, long, long ago. Until the coming of humans however, they held no form, lacking such concepts as names, thought, community and other such human ideas, that inspire them to take human form. Then there are the gods who rule over the beasts; they too only take human form when inspired by humans. Before that, they wore the forms of the beasts they arose from and ruled over. A spirit of animals may reign for many hundreds of years, before being deposed and replaced, or may last only a few short years, but to endure perpetually would require both great strength and a cunning no animal has possessed, until humans began to appear. The third and final variety of god is the newest, newer even, than humans. Born from the hearts and minds of humans, gods of concepts, such as war, or love, have a form from the moment they come into being.

Aside from these gods, the priests also learn of hosts of lesser spirits, too numerous to name; some servants of the gods, in some capacity, others independent. Some wish humanity ill; others wish only good; far more are indifferent, but their nature is simply too numerous and varied to grasp.

The priests second question is also, perhaps, predictable: the nature of the solar fire that tore through the warriors, as they attacked the Sun People. Here, Marnath offers an explanation, through his prophet, Mikuhla. The solar fires, it seems, are uniquely tied to the Sun People village, by dint of its position, as the location of Ermetha's high temple. Such a place of power makes it easier to channel such miracles into being.
