The envoy continues its journey, to make contact with the peoples upriver.

"All right ya' whipper snappers. I hold seniority over you all and I says we need to get back to our [i]roots[/i] you could say..." He paused for effect,

"FARMS! Lots of 'em. Earth for the Earth God. Seeds for the Seed Throne. Build along the rivers. My boys say we can cut ditches in he earth to bring water to the outer fields without us having to fill the buckets. Oh god the buckets... BUT NO MORE."

Many of the original council have passed or gone into retirement. A new seat of Representatives have arisen led by prominent leaders which aren't exclusive to the family heads anymore. The 7 Small Council Members now include prominent farm hands and ranchers and an 8th seat has been added for the head priestess. However through sheer stubbornness Elder Rye has firmly held his position on the council refusing to step down.

"The Goddess Smile upon you Venerated Rye," Head Priestess Syndra chimed in, she has a few more Winters under her belt now, being a Priestess of the Goddess of Fertility of course drove her to create a large family setting a precedent for future Priestesses. "However to add to that I wish that the new fields be consecrated and dedicated to the Earth Mother to receive Her blessing before every planting and harvesting period. That the Fields may be given life and a Guardian from he Earth Mother.

Rye nodded in agreement along side the rest of the council. The villagers were devout followers at this point, each sharing a common belief of the Earth Mother. While there had been trying winters, they continued to grow and prosper.
