LV, KD (9-18g)
The song of shame is sung at the gruesome sacrifical ritual of the elemental temple-fortress of wind and water. The ritual is gruesome. The priest rips out the LV and KD of the poor sacrificial victim first, and the fetus second. Then he eats them to tonify his blood.
Personally I am rather neutral (note: nuetral temperature) to the practice but some find the cannibalism shameful. As you might imagine, all the sacrifical victims waiting there in the temple have a good bit of hypertension.
