You partake in the ritual for the Wandering Star and ask the gods to empower your bull with the amulet!
Forming from amidst the rocks, you see the form of Pashu, the god of the herds.
"Quite a trinket you got there, boy.", he says, examining the amulet, "hadn't seen one of these in awhile."
"Could you empower the amulet?"
"If I could? Of course! I'm a god. But the real question is, why should I?"
"Well, why not?"
"You haven't been doing any propitiatory rites, boy! You are lucky today is Wandering Star day. Otherwise the gods would punish you for such insult."
"Then how do I propitiate you, oh mighty god of the herds?"
"Ah, now we're talking!"
"Bring a young heifer every equinox to the Stone Table and sacrifice it! Don't worry, you can eat it later. The important thing is spilling its blood upon the Stone Table. With intent!"
"The Stone Table? Isn't that in witch territory?"
"That is the thing, they only use it on solstices! On equinox they do... something else. So you Can sacrifice some cows to me. If you're serious about the whole amulet thing."
"And how long must I do it?"
"Well, you just keep doing it, you know. I don't even know why your people stopped doing it."
> Promise to talk to the tribe about the vision, and start doing propitiatory sacrifices to the god of herds (-1 REPUTATION, the warriors think it is pointlessly dangerous and will see you as superstitious)
> Promise to do the sacrifice yourself, out of your own herds (-1 LOYALTY your clan will back you but reluctantly)
> "That's just too much work!" Just ask the god to bless our tribe with some magic for Wandering Star day!" (+1 TOTEM POWER)

You continue to teach the shepherds about herbs, maybe they will become herbalists or something. [Resources don't change, you lost one and gained one]
You talk to the Bergwerk to get the hematite processed!
> That will take a lot of lumber, ask the village to spare some [-1 RESOURCES]
> Well, get your clan to cut some extra lumber for us then, you can't expect us to do all the work [roll 1d10, on a 5 or lower -1 LOYALTY]
> These things are slow, take your time!

Your son is born! You name him Pohaku!
"What an unusual name!", your wife says.
