Learning to read
Sailing from Visby the tribes merchants sail across the Baltic and to Oslo allowing goods that are rare in one place but common in another to be traded between settlements and news and messages to spread from port to port. They also spotted a galley in the Baltic it turned out to be one of the galley of the new elvish navy being build at Copenhagen that was being used to move fighters and supplies from Danzig to Hamburg. The fighting at the Weser was going well with the new ships moving supplies and fighters from all over the Baltic more fighters can be supported at the river and the eastern bank of the river only has a few small groups of goblins hiding in the forests.
The Tribe send a rider to the warband to order it to start the long march from Stockholm to Bergen. The first stop of this was at the former goblin camp that got named Golden fields after the large fields of grain that surround it. The second stop was at the main camp of the hunters of the north who have started farming at their camp as the growing population could no longer be fed by hunting alone. They visited Hamar and Oslo in the following weeks where they spend several days resupplying before heading out to camp ericson where they talked to the garrison before advancing to the white river, Here having encountered nothing but wolves and bears they camped for the winter and they hope to reach Bergen next year.
The construction of most of new estates is going well with the large fields being worked by teams of oxen producing enough food that the tribe is growing once more. The only problem was when the organization of the workers at one of the estates at Hamar broke down but this was fixed when the local nobles reorganized the workforce.
The tribe was growing stronger and part of this was that they had time for projects not needed for survival but instead where for improving the tribes future. The new stone library was the first of these projects and in it the tribe collected all the scrolls and books that survived. This was a small collection but would grow over the years to come. The main problem was that few could read, only the tribes nobles and a handful of scribes working in the town hall at Oslo can. There is a proposal that all of the tribe priest should be able to read but this is opposed by those who think this is not needed.
