This was one of the most serious derelictions of duty in the history of the Kanamia Tribe. On a night in the Month of Frost, sentry Hakrei was tricked into drinking a specialty drink offered by outsiders. Intoxicated, he passed out, leaving the Forbidden Land unguarded, allowing a group of desecrators to break in and steal the tribe's sacred relic.
When Hakrei awoke and realized what had happened, it was too late. The priests had no choice but to enter the sacred grounds and inspect the damage. They discovered that the Sacred Spring, used in healing rites and the source of the spring itself, had been taken.

The entire tribe was thrown into alarm. The Elders traveled personally to Asterleeds to request aid. With the help of the Defense Corps, the culprits were intercepted at the port as they tried to load the relic onto a ship. The thieves turned out to be members of the black market group known as Brazer, who had recently disguised themselves as merchants to get close to Hakrei. His lack of judgment allowed them to act.

As punishment, Hakrei was permanently stripped of his title as a sentry and sentenced to roll five thousand hides. His family, too, faced social exclusion and remains shunned to this day.

Thankfully, the Sacred Spring source was recovered. Had it been lost, the Kanamians would no longer have had the dignity to face their ancestral spirits.
Let this stand as a warning to all: never neglect your duty, and never trust the words of strangers.
