Post-Solstice 4 Discussion

Discussion on goals post EI4: Solstice, in aid of determining whether we want to extend the EI arc to get some of them done.

Gustav wants to continue interviewing the local tribes with Pi, laying out a sociopolitical map of the region. He is particularly interested in subsistence practices for each tribe; are all tribes the hunter/gatherer/scavenger types we've seen so far, or are there non-migratory tribes practicing agriculture, stationary animal husbandry, and making static communities? Wobblers, at least, seem to settle in place and have architectural know-how, so they may have some more advanced practices. He also wants to get as accurate a map as possible of all known Wobble-zones. And each tribe probably knows approximate locations and habits of other tribes not present, so he'll collect that information as well. For that matter, they'll have some sense of history - historical inter-tribal rivalries and battles and such. He wants it all.

Finally, he'll use Tale-telling to pass around the story of the Rescue of Mikey and how the Evergreens entered the Wobble zone and returned, harrowed but hale, with the boy. If told well, people will keep spreading the tale of the Evergreens, and how they not only have stories of the Forefathers, know the many Parables of MacGuyver, and trade generously and well, but how they are beneficent heroes as well.
