Prove that the supernatural elements in the other Civ quests are just superstitions first and not actually real.

Well to answer your question... We don't know, like the other quests, its not explicit so its at most either A. Undiscovered, B. So weak as to be negligible, or C. Non-existent

Inserted tally
The last update has been fixed. You ended up getting Tamed Wolves as your technology.
Also, Vote Locked. No update tonight, though.
I've also rolled for your next turn. Alvar and Natka (the Diplomacy Hero from the River-Bend Tribe) ended up having four children (all boys). Three of them are Heroes, one a double Hero (Martial/Art, Art, and Admin). Congrats, your rolls were ridiculous. The climate has improved and you just manage to eek our a bonus action next turn. You also discovered something nifty with your exploration rolls. You've also earned your first legacy (to be revealed tomorrow).
You... may have gotten dragged into a little(?) war by Natka and her tribe is doing terrible, seriously terrible. You're doing fine though! And one of your new Heroes is Martially inclined! Alvar's still alive so you have two! Given the number of Heroes involved, including those on the other side, this will probably trigger an Epic Age status effect.

I am still in shock that a Permanent settling near them won, it binds us to an area that isn't a wonder...
Ohwell, One more step to becoming settled!

If it helps, think of it as a Trading Post, and a place to keep our young and elderly with friends near by.

Considering i am in favor of getting rid of our Nomadic tendencies completely, us getting a permanent connection to a settled people is nothing but a plus.
I see it as an opportunity to assimilate another tribe into our collective.
That Natka's tribe is doing terribly just makes it all that much easier.

That to.
The fact that the two tribes heroes have shacked up means we're clearly doing something right.

Except for the part where it is a positive claim because those superstitions are considered real in-universe so by default, they are true. Therefore claims that they are false are positive claims which need to be proven true because that the in-universe information is wrong.
Except your question included an unproven claim. Any Yymaryn or Yucatan priest will tell you that the spirits and magic are real and Qi is definitely real in Lanterns of Safety. You weren't just 'asking a question' , you were making an unproven claim and even if it was accidentally, I see no reason why I shouldn't call you out on it.

That doesn't mean anything, he was asking on a meta level, the characters in the story can think its all magic and Gods until the universe in RL blows the fuck up, doesn't change what is true on the Meta level based on the story the QM is trying to convey. Claims that magic is real (in story) also need to be proven, Magic being false is the default on the Meta level (Barring wishful thinking) since its the logical position to hold when evidence isn't there, so until told explicitly ( or implied so strongly that its near impossible to deny) its safe to say it most likely isn't magical or to say we don't know.

So in-universe facts don't mean anything about the quest? Just because you are asking on 'meta level' for whatever you mean by that, you don't get a free pass to ignore stuff in-universe when making claims. We have in-universe magic which yet to be proven fake and is treated as being true in the updates. Just because magic isn't real in RL doesn't mean that you automatically assume it isn't real in a fictional setting and it has been proven as being true by in-universe characters. If you think that the stuff we are told in-uniserve and happens in the update isn't true or is otherwise incorrect, you can prove it with evidence rather than just claim that stuff in a fictional setting isn't true because how things work RL. Again, meta-ness doesn't give you a free pass to ignore how things work in-universe because things in a fictional setting are different to how they are in RL.
So if you want to claim that magic in a quest isn't real because magic isn't real in RL? You can prove it with evidence, especially when it is treated as true in-universe.
