I firmly agree with the principle of working toward settling, the likelihood that we should settle at 17-M, the fact that we need stone, and that we are probably never going to want to go anywhere without Dew anymore anyway.

The major counterargument for me is that I also think we should move on from using stone tools quickly... but it's hard for me to see what has become a thematically cold, misty, and spiritual people doing much metalworking now. I'm contemplating an alternative in the form of an Experiment proposal, so I guess if people feel like they might be interested in some kind of as-yet-undefined ghost magic alternative to stone tools, we could skip the stone and... oh, hold on, I just figured out what I want to do instead.

I decided not to put the minor vote into the major box yet, since there's only one voter and it seemed like we might as well wait for a clear winner there, but future minor voters should remember you're supposed to do that eventually.

You probably see where I'm going with this.

time to name the tribe

Powder and CK came up with "Children of the Lake" on Discord, I think it has a nice disturbing vibe to it.

[/quote]I do prefer "Wardens" because it's a cooler thing to abbreviate to than "Children"

I do think that "Wardens of the Whispers" is an objectively cooler name and because of the alliterative appeal

As a member of the nobility the major family club, I think that we should exploit Mourning Dew from the Whispering Lake because we are in the age of attunement and we will need lots of mourning dew

Guys, we can just... move to 17-M at our earliest convenience. There's no good reason not to if we retain access to stone, and it's the obvious choice to make our home now.
Not only does silver currently count as stone, it's also traditionally associated with spirits and moonlight.

I don't have strong opinions about the name but these all seem a little... unwieldy. How about something with fewer words like, uh... mistwalkers, or something like that?

I don't know if 17-M is necessarily the obvious place to settle. We would need a solution to the wasps before that's an option.

If any location is easy and obvious to settle, I think it is 16-M. It is the only location so far without any direct problems, we would be auto-exploiting dew, silver and lots of granite, plus it would give us firm control over an exit.

Wardens of the Whispers is at least supposed to naturally abbreviate to just Wardens.

Yeah, I guess “Wardens of the Lake” is a good compromise.
