Episode MMXIV – The Bird God Priest Approacheth

Some of our company happened upon a great ceremony which has been deemed worthy of adoption. Each year to ensure that their sacred Giver of Truth is given sufficient respect and is not insulted, the Bird People take a likely candidate from among those who have transgressed in thought if not in deed and present her to the Grand Bird God priest for his dark purposes after which, she is beaten with 200 sticks for the further transgressions of heathen immodesty, failure to protect her purity and the bringing of dishonor to her family. As this is done the remainder of the transgressors and those who may have read or thought a wrong thought in particular are quickly put out of their misery, their screams bringing joy to the messenger of the Giver of Truth as the sacred law so dictates.
