> The very basic story is given in ILH-2. Hon-Eel sacrificed her divine son who was reborn in order to bring fertility back to the lands ravaged by Sheng Seleris. The Corn Rites always involve human sacrifice, although usually of criminals or prisoners from war. The Emperor once tried to stop the bloody Corn Rites but the corn wouldn't grow.
The blood of sacrifice must come from humans to grow maize? Unlike the Crimson Bat, sacrifice of non-sentient beings is completely useless for HonEel? If human sacrifice is necessity for maize, how Tarshites could accept her Corn Rites? Considering the fact that their kingdom's founder, Arim the Pauper courted to Sorana Tor and became the rightful King of Dragon Pass, it is difficult to believe Tarshites could simply ignore the teaching of Ana Gor.
