Wow, year-round warm temperatures from geothermal hot springs, precious stone quarry, ample wildlife for game meat... why doesn’t other tribes try to violently push out this tribe of women and take over their territory?
Oh, wait, that must be the sequel... or the area is volcanically active and the stones are radioactive, too. (Joke)
There’s gotta be some kind of advantage this tribe has over others besides trade (they do have some rudimentary respect for skilled trades, but literacy and sciences are non-existent: but, hey, it’s the Stone Age!). I mean, this tribe can’t defend itself from more aggressive tribes, unless there are some strong alliances based upon some commodity I haven’t considered.
What’s the mortality rate and life expectancy for this tribe? (alright, alright, it’s just a story... but such a lengthy series already published deserves such details in world building)
Where are the lepers? Maybe this tribe is a buffer zone between repulsive outcastes and militarily antagonistic clans (a sort of neutral zone for all to respect)?
