I realized that. Just wondering if it was mere coincidence and her name might mean something else or if we were getting the translated version until language solidified.

My problem is that if I want to write the language as I want to, I need sounds that aren't in english and then I'd have to clarify every time or use IPA letters and neither sounds very attractive, so right now you're getting a translated version and will likely do so the next many years until the words have lost their meaning and have simply become names.
 
[X] Name Air Great Woman, Let The People Remain
[X] Send In An Elder

I do plan on engineering a road of skulls lubricated by blood, so while Wisdom is neat, I'd rather our people be named after someone a bit more warlike, our very own Genghis Khan.

That said, there's probably no traps or wild animals in there, so let the wisewomen in.
 
-[X] Do Not Name Air Great Woman, Let The People Remain - The woman named Air has demonstrated well her wisdom, but there is no need for a Great Woman, and it is better that the matrons as a whole handle what the families cannot handle themselves as is tradition, rather than ask her handle it alone. Women like Air are rare, but they have come before and they will come again. There is no reason to name the people for her deeds.

-[X] Send In An Elder - The wisdom and power of age tames even the raging fire, and an aging woman in the company of her equals is a frightsome force to even the vigorous hunter on the warpath. It is only right that a woman who is wise to the tricks of the world and the secrets of its kin be the one to enter.
 
-[X] Do Not Name Air Great Woman, Name The People Air - The speech and deeds and wisdom of the woman named Air are great, but there is no present need for a Great Woman like her at the moment; the great journey has just begun and her role was instrumental in beginning it, not in leading it. Great are her deeds, however, so the people shall take on her name and become the Kin to Air.

I have no idea what these do but lets go. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

That sounds terrible. You are QM here, you should just have them as you will. It is not like it is necessary for us to verbally pronounce them on a text-based forum. :V

The copy-pasta will be our friend :p

Name the people as air to record the seriousness of this journey, but Air shall not be named Great yet. Elder would know how to handle the ruin better.

Also, for a Nomadic people, Air is a great name and will heavily influence our Mythical narrative. I really want to do that too.

Well~~i do want people to settle down eventually, maybe just on big animals; then we can become a moving nation. :V Depends on mythical-ness of the settings.

No overinflated sense of self importance, no unnecessary singling out of a person just because they speak well, and no need to treat this as anything other than business as usual. Council of equals, not one who is more equal than the rest.

Oh hi Void! I was a derp and didn't recognize your avatar for a bit. We'll probably see how mythical the setting is when we meet other people. If they start unscrewing our heads and drinking our heart's blood while shouting "Wrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy", then we know we're in trouble.


In other news I took a look at the mechanics doc for this update and reading up on Capacity and Limit I think we are pretty close to the Limit of this Region. We don't seem to be outside the range of whatever is drying the river, unfortunately. Oh well.

    [X] Name Air Great Woman, Let The People Remain
    -[X] Send In The Woman Named Air - The woman named Air has demonstrated that she holds the tongue of the river, the mind of the valley and the resilience of the land, and she is of old wisdom and went to the people beyond the valley to trade their wares in the flower of her youth. It is only just that a woman who calms the people and makes their strange cousins bring them gifts come to enter the place.

-[X] Name Air Great Woman, Name The People Air - In times of great change, a Great Woman might be appointed, who is wise and speaks well and can lead the people. For her great skill, the woman who is named Air is thus also named Great Woman, to lead the people until her death. In addition, the people will forever become the Kin to Air, to take on her great wisdom.

Establishing a great woman as a position pushes more towards a matriarchy rather than it being a one off thing. I want to see what a nomad matriarchy will look like. I also like the people being named Air as nomads for many reasons.

Send her into the building so she can build her rep and have legends more likely sung about her.
