<DIV>As a Spirit-Talker of her people, Karala Walks-With-The-Great-White-Wolf had learned the tales of these "God-learners" with their honeyed words hiding their greed to steal and rape the sacred stories. The Luatha had said that he had been punished for his crimes, but did not seem so sure that he had mended his outlook. </DIV>
