"Book of Sin: The Transgressors"

A bundle of hide scrolls sealed with bone buttons, recording names of those punished by tribal law.

"Book of Sin: The Transgressors I" Transgressor One: Robe-Tearer Rosan
Former assistant to the Spring Priestess. During last year's Celebration of Life, she tore her ceremonial robe in public and shouted: "If all things are part of the ancestral spirit, then why must we alone hunt and offer the flesh of beasts?" "
All attempts to counsel her failed. She then stole a spirit bone meant for ritual use and fled. The stolen bone is rumored to still circulate on the Asterleeds black market.
Her surviving family, five in total, now live as scavengers. Even the tribe's war boars bare their teeth at Rosan's bloodline.

Violated Tribal Laws: Second Law: Sacred Offering and Veneration, Seventh Law: All Things Belong to Their owner
Sentence: Her fleeing form has been immortalized as a rock carving. Each day, assistant priests strike the knees of her effigy with poisoned thorns. --- "Book of Sin: The Transgressors II" Transgressor Two: U'gorr the Red Spear
Former champion of the Celebration of the Fiery Moon wrestling contest. Driven by jealousy after his brother was chosen as Dusk Priest, U'gorr plotted treachery. During the Harvest Day group dance, he ambushed his own brother using a shard of venom lizard bone and gravely injured him.
The offender has been exiled to the territory of the Golden Fang Boars, where he must survive alone. Not long ago, he was seen fending off a charging Boarrier pack with nothing but his shattered bone spear.

Violated Tribal Laws: Third Law: Pact of the Living, Fifth Law: Prohibition of Violence
Sentence: His name has been struck from the clan-stone. Among the tribe, the word "U'gorr" is now a synonym for ill omen. --- "Book of Sin: The Transgressors III" Transgressor Three: Maru the Withered Tongue
Once the granary watchman during the Harvest Day of autumn. For three consecutive years, Maru falsified reports of stored food and secretly hoarded over two hundred dried berries.
Upon discovery, he attempted to consume them all at once, shoving the stolen fruit into his mouth in a frantic bid to erase the evidence. During questioning by a Dusk Priest, he uttered the blasphemous phrase: "Even the ancestors should taste something sweet." He now lies chained at the roots of the Prison Tree, where he must recite the Seven Laws daily-until an Elder Pine grows from beneath the roots.

Violated Tribal Laws: Sixth Law: The Brand of Truth, Fourth Law: The Circle of Nourishment (for withholding communal provisions)
Sentence: His penance is accompanied by the release of bite-ants that nip at his ankles, testing his resolve with every word of the Seven Sacred Laws. --- "Book of Sin: The Transgressors IV" Transgressor Four: Nia, the Blight-Touched
Once a candidate for Dusk Priestess, Nia committed ritual defilement during Redemption Day by forging false offerings with bird droppings, attempting to desecrate the sacred act of repentance.
Upon investigation, her home was found covered with drawings of the Goblin King. She claimed, falsely, "This is a mission assigned by the ancestral spirit." Suspected of being afflicted by spiritual corruption, the priesthood issued a reduced sentence.

Violated Tribal Laws: First Law: All Souls Belong to One
Sentence: Her entire family must undergo a full exorcism rite and transcribe the Seven Laws by hand. At regular intervals, she is to be escorted to the Old Battlefield of the Kanamia Tribe, where she is made to commune with the spirits of her ancestral dead in hopes of restoring her true self.
