"Respected High Priest Ge Niao, the Great Yoeme Tribe has more than seven thousand believers. Half are in the core camp, Yoeme Village, while the other half are scattered among eight surrounding tribal villages. The most obvious difference in their wealth is their dwellings! A warm shelter that can get them through winter is the most central property of every tribal household... According to the Priest Apprentices' count, the dwellings in Yoeme Village are fifty percent pit shacks, forty percent pointed thatched huts, and less than ten percent newly built wooden houses..."
"Every shack and thatched hut is the home of ordinary tribespeople, roughly housing a family of four or five. The wooden houses are the residences of Chief Mountain Eagle, clan elders among his kin, and tribal warriors, with three to five people in each, more or less. As for the outlying tribal villages, they are all shacks and thatched huts, with only a scant handful of wooden houses..."
"Clearly, less than ten percent of the tribal Noble Chiefs in the core camp occupy the vast majority of the tribe's output. Especially over these past three or four years, they have obtained quite a bit of property through the coal-mine trade with the Kingdom. Ordinary tribespeople, however, have seen almost no change. They have even become more exhausted and impoverished because they were forced to mine coal!..."
The sun rose over the mountains in the east and set over the bay in the west. Priest Ge Niao had already stayed in the Yome Tribe for half a month with dozens of priests and apprentices, as well as one thousand Samurai. During this half month, apart from conversion and spreading faith in the Main God, the priests' most important task was to establish a new order of the Main God.
