reading the stuff on Heortling gifting culture, a thought occurred to me.Is it possible / do Heortlings do it, to create "face traps" with gifting? For example, could one clan generously gift its neighbour then expect that neighbours help when it renews an old blood feud with another neighbour? Do gifts offered have to accepted if the receiver is suspicious of the givers motives (I know "no one can make you do anything" but how applicable is that here?
