Heck, if you're looking at it polity wise, the revenge only prospered our people.
It only mattered to two dead people and one salty old man.
Well, that's what we get for hammering the More Food button so many turns in a row
Considering they'r'e traders, knowing that a culture would honestly give you fair trade and expect fair trade is huge. You don't need anything else to become favored trade partner when it's clearly the most stable trade point you can find...and it helps that they always have a surplus of food(which is a huge concern for nomadic traders) and acts as a stable population exchange base to rebalance their population spread.
Very useful for both tribes really.
Depends on if spirits are real, but either way it's a source of inspiration for future generations.
And we're behind on the spiritual progress track as well. Another culture got started on religion first, so it's possible for them to define our spiritual beliefs as traders pick up and spread them.
Wanted our own angle on it.

Hahahah Cwryl achieved the best kind of revenge. Spiting those who fucked with his family while being loved for it and doing the right thing for everyone to the point that none would care.
What more perfect vengeance could one ask for?
Well done.

Ah sorry, it wasn't aimed at your vote.
@hylas240 Implied war/lowland would allow our ancient Leader to somehow remove the threat by himself.
Oh hey you finally got an avatar. It's... interesting.

We're almost certainly being kept in the dark both because it's entertaining to AN and because in a meta way it produces a more natural response to spiritually oriented decision-making.
Basically, because we don't know if divine beings or magic exists in the setting, we will react more naturally to examples of apparent divinity and magic. Hilariously, because we aren't sure they exist or not, I imagine most people look at spiritual actions through the lens of "This is 50/50 because we might not get divine smites to add to our overt mechanical repertoire" and not the lens they're intended to use, "This is 50/50 because early religion can go the direction of giving your people the will to subjugate a massive stretch of the fertile crescent on divine right alone, or it can turn your people into human-sacrificing anti-diplomatic doomsday imperialists, even if you really don't want that."

Add food wasters to our list of crimes. Which is probably is a crime back than. That's what would get everyone against us.

We're already starting to turn into Communist Celts (with our pseudo-Tanistry, our clan warriors and our deep connection to the lands and forests), so let's chat with the spirits, get some druids and go Highlander on our neighbours' asses.
By the way, what's the policy on Omakes? I have an idea for a possible myth, but I don't know if it's allowed.

Spoilage isn't waste, actually, not as viewed by the people of the tribe; to them, it would simply mean that their work was immensely rewarding and that they lived in plenty. In the case of stone age tribes like this, it brings a strong sense of safety and stability to the lives of the families, leading them to have more children, have more children survive to adulthood, and be more willing to forgive indiscretions with 'inferior' mates (and generally be less concerned with family-approved matches).Add food wasters to our list of crimes. Which is probably is a crime back than. That's what would get everyone against us.
Plus, despite what I said, the bean-counters probably released free grain to the people for impromptu festivals just to prevent the food from going to waste, and likely to convince the young people to make more babies with the parties.

Partial integration into a single ethnic group, although differences in lifestyle are probably going to become class differences over time.
