Fear of the Earth King
"Who has angered him?
The King of Rora's black earth
Who has harmed his friend?
The Island Walker Hunter
And thus has doomed our poor souls"
-Prose by Rekikiboku Shihon
In this poem, Rekikiboku writes about a legend of the Earth King and the fear he generates from hurting his hunters and the conquering of a town on the sole basis of harm to his hunters. This is why harming his hunters is strictly forbidden unless they are able to negotiate i.e In self-defence.
