try making mead

I would suggest another form of natural art. The Native Americans used beads that were made from things such as berries that were dried, also known as Ghost Beads for example. They also used the quills and guard hair from the American Porcupine which were dyed different colors and used to create what is called quillwork. The guard hair from the Porcupine also was used to create headdresses called Roaches which is like a mohawk. Some Tribes also used moose hair from the mane of the moose for embroidery. Just some more ideas for future use

Thank you for bringing attention to different ways a story is told and also the telling of stories of Goddesses and how in your story are real. I find that most of the legends, myths, stories in general, have at least a sliver of fact in them. An example would be a mermaid, well the people seeing a manatee for the first time might say the stories typically heard just to spice things up because sailing back in the day would be boring, long, etc

Corn is great, but greatly reduces the soil nutrients. Which leads to the reason corn fields need to be rotated to replenish the soil after every season. Native Americans supplemented the growing of corn, one of the Three Sisters, with climbing beans, and squash. This leads to the soil retaining more moisture as well as replenishing some nutrients to the soil.

Also, brains from the animal were used during the tanning process to cure the hide into leather making it more durable, softer, resistant to rot, and to some degree more resistant to moisture. Creates what is called Brain tan leather. Plant based tannins can also be used for curing leather but to a slightly lesser effect than brain tan tannins

In environments where extreme cold is prevalent, Native Tribes use blood much like the European Germanic Tribes did and still do to this day. It may sound disgusting to those who were not born or chose that lifestyle, but it is a way of not only gaining water but also nutrients through the blood. Much like eating liver. The fat of an animal is used for cooking and also creating oil for burning to create lamps for light. The bones and antlers used for needles for sewing, buttons, handles for tools or drawers and cupboards, fishing hooks. Fish scales used to create arrow head points where stone wasn't as readily available, search for alligator gar or just gar in general. Just some other insights for those interested

maybe instead of saying "clean up 40%", say it as "it could clean up to 40% of the body's impurities". Just an idea for in the future. Love your work so far Author!

Sorry, but being a Blacksmith, and I know this is a fantasy novel, but putting any blade or pointed type weapon in the ground blunts and damages the metal even on a microscopic level which inherently leads to material failure
