"Unlike the overall believe virgins were not merely sacrificed to sate the hunger and anger of the beasts living in the forest and mountains, but they were trained and given a very special armor that was handed down from female warriors for more than 6 generations.

It was considered a great honour to be chosen as a swan warrior."
