be
T he tribe's relationship with Enkai is crucial to them.
O
The tribe's behavior affects Enkai's mood.
Our relationship with Enkai is essential to the tribe. Enkai is
neither male nor female. The sky god is powerful, but can
change from nurturing to vengeful depending on our
behavior. Sometimes Enkai is Enkai Narok, the Black God,
happy with us and blanketing the sky with dark clouds that
pour out rain to nourish the plains. When angry, though,
Enkai becomes Enkai Nonyokie--the Red God. In these
times, the sun grows incredibly hot until the earth dries up
and becomes barren. Because of this, we work to keep
Enkai happy.
O Enkai has moods that are reflected in the weather.
O Enkai can be the Black God or the Red God.
