the scarecrow
bottomless abyss.
Successive generations have
said that tribes gave the name
“Wantahet” to the advocate of
revenge. Other communities
dubbed him the “Master of
Deceit.” Some nations have
lauded his heroism, but other
lineages have satirized his wily
ignobility in their epic poems.
Some clans have applauded
his spirit of vengeance
and repeated a statement
attributed to this cunning
strategist that he had decided
to do no evil because he was
certain that the evil would
inevitably turn to good, thanks
to the Law of Contradictory
Effect, and never to do any
good, because the good would
inevitably turn into evil.
It is also said that Wantahet’s
faith in vengeance was
responsible for turning
this wily strategist into an
immortal being.
