nothing- food cannot be turned into ritual materials...
RPs represent scholars and sages which are useful and gold can represent material components and arcane supplies, which are useful, but food represents food and while it feeds scholars, it cannot contribute towards the ritual directly.

The Non-Player Civilizations: Peeking into the other nations
(in todays episode of Peeking into the other nations, we examine the Eekin)
The Eekin:
The Eekin are blond giants, pale of skin and hair, blue of eye, with shaggy beards and clad in badly cured animal hides. They smell of fish and sea-salt and their hands are gnarled and worn from hauling nets in freezing waters.
The Eekin, like the Sheim, live in a land of ice and snow, of long winter nights and equally long summer days. The winters are chillingly cold and the Eekin island, unlike the Shiem islands does not have forests and mountains to provide protection from winter gales and blizzards.
The Eekin spend their winters in sod longhouses, half-buried in the shallow tundra soil, sharing stories and turning fishbone into useful tools and jewellery.
In the summer, the Eekin fish and sail and make boats. Their island lacks good quality timber and they have taken to establishing small summer camps on the southern coast of the Sheim islands which they use to fell wood and to make social contact with the Sheim.
This has done much to draw the Eekin close to their larger and more cultured neighbour and the two civilizations have grown close with the passing of time.
Of late the Eekin have taken to the worship of Baelious (sages argue that this was made possible through the release and development of sun mana into erebus). Though the Eekin have always been a hard-working and honest race the worship of Lugus archangel has led to them to value truth and honour even more highly. Unlike their empyrean brothers, the cult of Baelious, at least amongst the Eekin, is not a highly organized affair; it can often be summed up to the saying, fortune shine upon you. They believe that rewards from Baelious shine down upon them, provide safe seas, good harvest, a temperate and short winter in return for working together to bring fortune to themselves, working hard in a unified way.
Most recently the Eekin have developed advanced sailing techniques that have resulted in their ships alighting in every port in the world. Suddenly they have received much attention as their invention has revolutionized the way nations see themselves within a much larger worldly sphere. This attention has led to the development of multiple trades and even to the development of a position for this small and impoverished nation amongst the western council, a decision that appears to be almost unanimous amongst the Eekin.

A note on the 'ley-lines' tech- the turn you learn this (either in trade or self-researched) could you please indicate in your orders what mana you want... it affects the various religions.
Unbeknownst to them, two Kappa scouts came upon the last writings of the last of the Fists:
One of the Kappa scout looks at a wall in the ruins in the forest.
"Strange", he says.
"What do you mean?" asks his comrade.
"Well, it looks like someone wrote something on the wall, but it doesn't make sense."
"What does it say?"
"It just reads: - MWAHAHA! - "
"Must've been some bored teenager, if you want my opinion."
"Yes, silly young boys writing silly tags on the walls."
"The young... They don't respect anything today..."
"Yeah, they should show some respect..."
Speaking thus, the scouts moved away, soon forgetting the tag on the wall, and soon ivy would cover it and hide it from all in Erebus, and all traces of Tuan would disappear from the world.
Or maybe not all?

Hey, Tuan, you want to come chill with Death for a bit? 
You can share some fun stories, maybe take a little trip through the Arch...

OOC: it sure looks like it; they always had very good relations with the sheim and they are pretty weak... its a good option for them.
IC:
regardless of the associations the eekin will be assuming, we have made it absolutely clear that any deals we have already negotiated with non-council nations will be honoured. including those with the league and with the three nations.

Yes, don't worry, Tuan won't come back.
And everyone is not turning paranoid. Everyone's after YOU.

it would make sense. why waste the gold on building a weaker wall when you can just build the stronger one, especially if you have the know how.
