I'd blame mosses and microorganisms. Original ocean worlds tend to have MASSIVE amounts of such, and none or few actual "plants" beyond. if they have life on them. Otherwise the life would just die off anyways.
If such things existed on Avalon, I imagine they would have been hotspots (no pun intended) of tribal warfare, especially given that they would be exceedingly rare: Avalon is mostly covered in water ice, I believe, with an ocean of liquid water below. Exposed rock would be rare. That's another strike against metallurgy on Avalon--lack of places to mine.
I don't know massive amounts about chemistry, so the most I can speculate about is the basics. I try to minimize talking about things I do not know about.
In other words. Glad you joined in Robinhood.
What of catalytic reactions? For example, heat is produced when you place certain metals in water. Any idea if other similiar reactions would be possible? A large animal on world that has a reserve of sommat in their body that is a catalyst that the avali harvested while hunting? Fact of the matter is, it's possibe that the avali may have started farming fungi and mosses eventually even with their tribal stature of the time. It took us long enough to figure it out anyways. What's to insult their race by saying "never" for? Fungi, mosses, and bacteriums with fruiting bodies are stated in the avali lore. The only real thing the war did, was push them forwards a LOT, including the farming step.
They WOULD have eventually learned how to farm. When, nobody knows. But they wouldn't have been quite where there are yet if it weren't for this.
Also, by mistakes, I mean his mistakes, not yours, or writer's errors. And yes. Unless he was purposefully trying to screw up to the point he basically did absolutely nothing except tell you "this might happen." and nothing else. Those were mistakes.
