This page describes one of the Devotopai (Rituals) of the Poku Saeruo Degonjo.

Kavoyâr Ruoka is the ritual where a Poku'vonai is cast out from a Ruoka (House), literally their bond to the house is severed. It is literally being cast out of the Rouka, usually only for instances where the person has acted in an extremely dishonorable fashion and refuses to perform the Sou Fofi (Cleansing Death). Once performed the individual is persona non grata within the Ruoka.

The ritual starts with the individual being brought before the Ta'a and the other leaders of the Ruoka. A Kyn Lumu'a then reads the charges against the person. They cite the evidence and present witnesses to attest to the events. The Ta'a (speaker) for the Ruoka then asks the person if they wish to redeem themselves by performing the Sou Fofi (Cleansing Death). If they agree then they are taken away to perform that ritual. Should the person decline, the Ta'a has the Ruoka enforcers then remove any items on the person that bear the Ruoka crest. The Ta'a then in the formal tongue of the Qaktoro says that the person has brought shame upon themselves, their hidden_sun_clan:family]], and their Ruoka. They are officially stripped of any position within the Ruoka. The person is then escorted out of the chamber.

Once a person has been put through Kavoyâr Ruoka, no one in the Ruoka will have anything to do with them. Typically they are kicked out of their hidden_sun_clan:family]] as well. In this circumstance the Ânamuspa Punla (Breaking Family) is performed with the individual in absentia.

Such a person leads a fairly miserable life, as they are a person without affiliations. They typically have to resort to menial tasks for anyone who will take them in. Occasionally another Ruoka may take them in, but this is no certain think.
