A Gallente medical charity, working in Republic space, has reported a huge increase in the numbers of prosthetic tongues fitted to needy refugees in the war-torn regions of Minmatar space.
These refugees, including many from the Ammatar Mandate, had their tongues mutilated, following a mystic ritual called the Voluval, in which young Minmatar adults undergo a test, rumoured to be a Jovian invention, and are assigned a mark, similar to a birthmark, which supposedly describes their destiny. Evil marks were subject to a variety of punishments, one of which was having the tongue cut out.
With the recent Minmatar incursions into Amarr space, including the famous raids on Mekhios, Kor-Azor Prime, and other important worlds, and the rescue of Starkmanir and Nefantar tribespeople from Mandate space, the prohibitions on some marks have been lifted, and no longer are unfortunate people rendered tongueless.
Not all people are happy with this development: "Times change, I suppose. I used to cut their tongues out, now I put them back" said one Sebiestor surgeon. "This one girl, after she got her prosthetic tongue, the first thing she said, was that she wanted to declare vendetta on Malaetu Shakor! How ungrateful can a person be?" said a Brutor militiaman.
One thing is certain. With their new prosthetic tongues, these previously sidelined people now have a voice in Minmatar politics! Rumours, Wars, Rumours of Wars, Wars of Rumours! |

Why that specific punishment?
Is there a voluval associated with being deceitful or an oathbreaker? Or is it a general punishment used against anyone who's kicked out of the community? Render unto Khanid the things which are Khanid's; and unto God the things that are God's. |

Whatever the case, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Only half punning. One of my slaves had her tongue removed by the slavers that took her, and the experience was clearly traumatising. Even after the recent surgery to give her a new one and reconnect her vocal chords, she still prefers sign language, poor thing. |

*Groans* is if not the story being horribly bad, the puns just made me naucious
The Voluval is both one of the Minmatar's least understood, and most important rituals. Involving a specialized sort of tattooing process that marks the subject's body, the Voluval is a rite of passage practiced by nearly all sub-clans of all tribes in the Republic. It is also known as the Test of Destiny and is the seminal event in a young Mimatar's life, representing their coming of age and official recognition as a member of the tribe.

Oh, those "bad marks" that a handful of people get, one of the punishments, other than being exiled, was having to take a life-long vow of silence. Breaking that vow, means whoosh, no tongue for you. |

I am glad that I have personally outlawed the Voluval practice among my Slaves. Such a barbaric practice.
I might just have to look into offering both spiritual and physical help along with a new home to Citizens mutilated by this practice. |

Your glasses aren't! If anything, they're a safety hazard, as they'll cause an aneurism in anyone with a bit of fashion sense.

This headache... Then clearly they serve a purpose. They're a form of psychological warfare against people who don't like glasses (that is to say, idiots). Mane 614
