*gasp* I am so wrong then. How did she get that through all the people dying? You don't mark aspect gains/losses super clearly, and idr. What bonuses does it provide?

Seryn has an Aspect of Life:
-Aspect of Life: Bonus to Farming, Strengthens Bless and Heal,
and Resurrection into who she used to be is essentially off the table, since she would go ballistic as soon as we told her that Seryn ate her sister.
If she were to become a new spirit with some of the traits of the older one, however, it might be helpful to integrate her in.
Extended raids are basically how wars are conducted in Stone Age societies, and I feel wary about leaving for an extended period of time while they are still blatantly hostile and we have no way of really getting rid of them.Sorry, it just feels like I'm ignored, I can't actually know when you incorporate something from my votes without people talking
The thing is that they aren't in a full on war, they seem to be accostumated with raiding, so it's also probable they have other enemies who they frequently raid, if they haven't exhausted those other sides by now.
But, to be honest I'm kinda loosing the will to explore right now, since we could probably do something better, like testing something new...
@Zaealix how would you feel about it if I change the exploration for experimentation on a chief blessing, especifically, a war chief blessing?
@Oshha two questions.
Are Terwyn and Vardyn still married, and is Terwyn still one of our high priests, or did she give that up when she ascended?
This just may be me being silly, but who is Escalf? Don't remember hearing about them.

We should copy that aspect at some point. It seems relevant to our actions, though imperfectly.
Her configuration is more synergistic and encompassing than ours.
She's like War, Life, Femininity, which all feed into each other and incentivize growing a population and expanding controlled land.
We're Fatherhood, Chiefdom, and Earth. Which basically just feeds into exploiting the earth and sitting on a mountain. >.<
I mean, a) she was already ballistic so no difference there, b) if we can make it so she's a new spirit great but we won't know if that's possible until we try. Though domesticating and forcibly altering an animal spirit would give us some insight.

She got it from eating Lynnelt. Also check the informational threadmarks for the character sheets which get updated for more information on the spirits in the region.
She hasn't decided yet. She is still keeping the position for now. And yes, Terwyn and Vardyn are still married and Terwyn is going for another kid.

We're fitting perfectly into being the King Under the Mountain (or nearby it) so far
We are the Father, and the Pantheon is our family.
Just as the Father is the Head of the family, we are the Chief of the Pantheon.
Earth is mostly useful because of our geographic location, and from what I recall doesn't really change personality, so whatevs.
If she goes ballistic we might have to just kill her though, which would be rather unfortunate. I just see no way for her to wish to willingly work with us, and she would never ever work with Seryn, which is why I'm hoping the whole "new spirit similar traits" thing pans out.
I really do want to alter an animal spirit though, since the family really needs a pet
(pls don't actually treat them like a pet)So, both of the asshole spirits also happen to be farmer spirits?
...I'm noticing a trend.

Eh, maybe she'll have the same basic personality but amnesia.
If it comes to it we can eat her or feed her to our pet, though.
Yeah, that's a thing. But fathers being the head of the family are the result of irl politics & shit predicated on male superiority in terms of violence and stronger leanings toward dominance and aggression. If we were female and had the chief of the pantheon aspect we'd probably just have more matriarchal leadership. Kind of like the way our head priestess, who manages our village for us, is a female.
The conversion of warriors and hunters into women necessitates a shift in understanding of fatherhood away from protector/provider and toward something else, which is as of yet undetermined. The requirement that they have one or two children before accepting the blessing helps fight that, but not greatly.

I mean, to be fair, if people emulate the Spirits who have certain aspects, than Fatherhood should be based around building shit, talking to people, and taking care of your kids/family.Crows.

We've basically been the Responsible Authority Figure(TM) for the entire quest, so encouraging our fathers to act in such a manner sounds good to me.

Gwarlon will stay head of the family because his wife and daughters love him and combined with his Spirit of Fatherhood and Aspect of the Chief. Seryn will be having words and curses with anyone who disagrees with her daddy being in charge.
But if you are worried about being male, Seryn will happily convert your Spirit of Fatherhood into Motherhood if you ask her.

Also this:
Feminine is going to be a strong and beautiful warrior while men will be diplomacy, admin and looking after your people/family/subordinates.
Choose Wyrn for what?

Depends. If both are at a low level, they would remain separate.

Even if they didn't I imagine they would kind of stack and reinforce each other. The way that Orcante spirit up north had spirit of farming/spirit of earth and had better soil trickery then us.

If you want, but your blessing wouldn't do much for her apart from give her Earth Magic which Cadyl is always having you do for her.
Orcante has better soil manipulation when it comes to Earth Magic due to living in hills made up of soil just as you have better rock/stone manipulation due to living in mountains made of rock/stone.

No, no. Bronwyn can compensate using her Aspect of Love. Her feelings on the matter are neutral. You would give looks from Evatine however.

That's why I'm voting for Seryn perspective. All the fun of being a Catgirl, without actually sacrificing our manhood in the process.
