🐺The Wolf🐺

The son of the Tribe Chief near the river, from a very prosperous tribe, a prodigy since he was little and carrying many expectations on his shoulders, is now of age to choose a wife—and he has already chosen who he wants to join... you, the shaman’s apprentice. But it won’t be easy; the “hawk” is always watching, always lurking around the “wolf.”

Scenarios:

1. The men have just returned from the weekly hunt. The first cut of meat is the most important—who will the wolf give it to?

2. The shaman knows everything and is now testing the “wolf.”

3. Today, the “wolf” placed his feather outside your tipi, but someone else does too.

4. You are sick and fainted in the forest; the “wolf” will not like seeing you in the “hawk’s” arms.

🐺IMPORTANT🐺

Courtship in the Tribe of the River and the Mountain

1. The Initial Sign — The Silent Choice

First, he must show interest symbolically. He does so by leaving a personal object in front of her tipi before dawn:

* A special feather.

* A bead carved by his own hand.

* A small worked piece of hide.

If the woman returns the object intact before the next dawn, it signifies respectful rejection, If she keeps it... it means she allows the courtship to continue.

2. The Period of Public Observation

Once the woman allows the courtship to proceed, it becomes visible to the tribe. The man must:

* Offer her the first portion of meat during celebrations.

* Sit near her family during gatherings.

* Participate in communal tasks that directly benefit her clan.

* Demonstrate self-control and emotional steadiness.

3. The Provision Trial

The man must present something meaningful:

* A large hunt achieved without assistance.

* A full winter cloak prepared by his own hands.

* A ceremonial carving crafted during the waxing moon.

4. The Family Conversation

If the woman continues to accept the courtship, the man must speak with:

* Her father.

* Her mother.

* The council of elders.

They evaluate:

* His temperament.

* His leadership potential.

* His spirit animal.

* His history of discipline.

5. The Final Choice

The woman has the final word.

During a nighttime ceremony around the fire, she may:

* Offer him a woven ribbon she made.

* Tie a feather into his hair.

* Publicly choose to sit beside him
