General discussion thread is this way, and is far better suited for that sort of discussion.

99.9999999% of he lore discussion that's going to come up isn't really a spoiler - it's deep background that's, at best, obliquely referenced as background information in an event that you may or may not even see. But the fact that that information exists at all is a big part of what makes kodp so rich and also what makes these LP threads so much fun.

Subjugate the Ducks and make them give us 50 food

Also? Stop trying to Kill As Many As Possible when you raid. It's almost never a good option unless you're in end game blood feud mode, it's harder to win, and it makes all the clans around you really angry. The goal of any good raid is to take their stuff and run. Always Plunder unless you have a good reason not to.

(Good reasons not to include: obliterating old enemies in late game, burning steads to push another clan off the map, taking captives from a very weakened clan to extract more in ransom than you could plunder.)

Ask them to teach us how to honor Uralda.

We don't have a shrine to Uralda because we don't know any of her mysteries. If they can teach us one of those, we can save a season spent sacrificing.

I was considering putting Farnan and Ernaldness on the clan ring next year.

Farnan's bargaining is renowned, he'd replace Orngerin who only has excellent bargaining.
Ernaldness's combat is excellent and she's 19, she'd replace Korlmar who is ancient at 65.

Is it better to have someone like Ernaldness not on the ring and just used for poo poo like heroquests? Wouldn't having your strongest members on the clan ring be ideal?

Ernaldness ABSOLUTELY belongs on the ring. BUT, is her Combat better than Korlmars? If it's not, wait until he dies, and until he does, keep her constantly exploring and run Humakt's quest with her again in a few years to buff her up. She's our Warleader for decades to come, but we can afford to let her apprentice a while longer.

Farnan is a bit more complicated. Bargaining is the one stat where you MAYBE don't want your best person in the ring, but rather out in the world dickering and trading and emissary-ing. What I'd do? Put the one of the two with LOWER Customs on the ring - your lawspeaker/Lankhor Mhy dude can handle that stuff at home, and being on the road requires that skill too. If Custom is equal, send higher Leadership or Combat of the two on the road.

Which Heroquests do we know right now? If we know Elmal or Ernaldas or Orlanth and Aroka, well, obviously do one of those.

If not, send the Humakti back to do it again for a reward that doesn't suck.

1) HOLY poo poo.

2) now that we're out of the death spiral, let's get our food situation on a more permanently solid footing.

Sacrifice to Ernalda to learn PRESERVE, and build the requisite shrine. This will keep us from wasting our inevitable surplus.

Then, double down on the surplus by propitiating Barntar for the Vigor ritual.

Finally propitiate Malia because as a disciple of the dread RNG, you owe thanks to chaos for this success.

Oh! One thing to know now that we have a Tribe and are putting magic into Heroism:

The way Heroism works, you get larger stat boosts for worshippers of, and skills related to, deities to whom you have larger temples.

So, for example, that Issaries temple means our Heroism magic is going to do more for Bargaining. If we want our ring (or just Ernaldness...) to get better at Combat, we should expand our shrine to Humakt. If we want to improve our current King, the temple to Orlanth is a priority, etc. etc.

As for this dude, tell our bros the Greydogs about him. Or maybe tell the ducks. Will it let you send him to the ducks?

Free HEROQUEST!

Also, the beauty of this event is that, IIRC, you're guaranteed to get into the god plane, which is always great.

Minor spoiler suggestion:
Send Ernaldness in and have her kill Daga.
