The small canoe moved up to the tall, thin tower. Wopwe wanted to be the first there. Above them, the sky was dark, even though it was barely past midday. Such was life in the swamps, the sky always was often overcast, it probably reminded his people of their ancestral underground homes. Of course, the dark roofs of the caves was still, calm, the sky could be like that too, but it also could showcase great fury in its storms, like the one expected today.

The Nupa of the lands looked over as the traitors were brought, the leaders of an attempted rebellion. It did cross his mind that perhaps he should have gave then a chance, but the law was the law, as he had said in public when he declared their sentences, it could not be bent by prestige, by money, by bloodlines, that was the old ways of the land, the ways of abuse and corruption, of chaos. To fulfil his dreams of an Entmoian Tribe fully centred around the rule of (his) law, he had to deal with these people in the same way he would have dealt if they were fisherman.

Even some priests were asking the Kvune Wopwe to be more flexible, but he could not be moved, he was stubborn in his conviction. The prisoners would be led from the boats to the top of the stone tower where they would be placed in an iron cage. It had to be done in a stormy day so there was a chance of thunder striking the cage. The Nupa was ready to justify the event no matter what happened, no thunder would mean the divine had no desire to give traitors a quick death and if a thunder did hit the cage then it was clear the goddess saw fit to punish traitorous acts with her own hands.

The prisoners in place, he left back for the town. Outside of dealing with political enemies Wopwe wanted to further influence the city and integrate religious and civilian life to a greater extent. The introduction of festivals would be a good way to utilize the temples' control of resources to the benefit of the population. Excess wood could be made into idols and amulets, excess food could be used in feasts, furthermore there were many religious acts typically only observed by the priesthood that the Nupa wanted to extend to the population, stargazing in the hills, bathing in the swamp waters, raising poles in the dry land, all reminders of this new cultural age for the Entmoians.
