Why the Trickster? To me that is well within the realm of Ernalda. To hell with honor if the clan gets destroyed. Better your pride is hurt than the men killed and the women and children enthralled. Eurmal may have done something to start the feud, but the descision to pay tribute and end the feud is going to be championed by Ernalda's priestess using the "think about the children" cajole. They may hope for a quick turnaround where the can get out of the agreement, but the top priority is going to be to save the existance of the clan.
