There is an ancient story passed down by [[Ir-Vothiam | There is an ancient story passed down by [[Ir-Vothiam]] masters, of a conversation that supposedly took place in the far-off Jin home system [[Ijzala]] between the [[Godking]] as a young student, and his mentor, [[Kivatha Amati Barek]] – a man of immense meditative and spiritual accomplishment. | ||
The young Godking had accidentally insulted a high-ranking officer, who had challenged him to a fight to the death and so he sought out the Kivatha for spiritual guidance. The Kivatha told him earnestly that he had little chance of surviving the encounter, but that he could ensure an honorable death by treating the combat as he would the formal ceremony of the [[Bread Ritual]]. | The young Godking had accidentally insulted a high-ranking officer, who had challenged him to a fight to the death and so he sought out the Kivatha for spiritual guidance.
