However the Sklar-Quah hate outsiders and barely tolerate the Skoan-Quah. After much discussion it is decided that in order to gain the trust of the Sklar-Quah they must be "born again" by being eaten and excreted by the great greyworm Cindermaw. In order to prove that the pcs really did this they must gain the services of a Truthspeaker. The only current Truthspeaker among the Shoanti is an old man of the Lyrune-Quah tribe. The Lyrune-Quah are also xenophobic and the only way to gain their trust is to have a worshipper of Desna among the pcs take a pilgrimage to the Acropolis of the Thrallkeepers and take the holy Spherewalker's Mark on the left hand. The Lyrune-Quah are unique among the Shoanti in that they actually worship a god of the civilized lands.
