"Book of Counsel: New Moon Scroll"

I, Itskot, your humble Dusk Priest, kneel in counsel.

Chieftain, I beg you to reconsider. The wounds of the Kanamia Tribe are still fresh in our memory.
Yes, outsiders have brought us many gifts. The novelties from Asterleeds have enriched the lives of our people. Treehouses now come equipped with fire-extinguishing devices. Children have new toys. Adults enjoy new clothes and vibrant dyes...
But the downsides have come just as swiftly. Do you not recall the Forbidden Land theft during the Month of Frost? Had we discovered it even a little later, the sacred relic might have been smuggled all the way to Asterleeds. Now the White Wolf has already left the tribe, if the Ancestral Relic was lost next... I cannot even bear to imagine it.

Some of our own people are straying from our ways. Some have abandoned traditional clothing in favor of Asterleeds fashion. And... Some arrogant souls now dare to question the ancestral spirit itself! I'm sure you haven't forgotten Rosan's family. Rosan, our former Spring Priestess, openly declared she would leave the tribe because "the ancestors cannot answer her questions." Such defiance is unthinkable!

Yes, the merchants among us have expanded what we can trade and consume, but theft and petty crimes are now rampant. We once left our doors unbarred at night. Now even ritual masks hung on the fence are stolen as decorative souvenirs.
Chieftain, I understand your desire to lead our people to a better life. The intent is good. But when we move too fast, we risk leaving many behind. Please take seriously the harm I speak of, and consider slowing our pace of openness.
Do not forget the ancestral teachings.

With humility, Itskot, Dusk Priest
