A Thriving Legacy[]

"Looking out at the tribe, your heart swells with pride. They do not feel so distant, those harsh days when your numbers were so few that danger lurked in every shadow. Now there is warmth, comfort, and many mouths to feed. As the tribe has grown, you have needed to master how to harvest the fruits of land and sea. Yet you have also seen how valuable materials can be coaxed from the earth, rewarding patience and skill with prized rarities. Will today's flourishing tribe choose to be farmers, or traders?"

The tribe has become formidable hunters; will the future know you as great hunters, or superior storytellers?"
