The Guru men, and their women, had done what they did for more than torture and shame. They wanted to create EU children. Such children are not the children of forbidden love between a Guru and an Ok eke, nor are they Noah's, Ok ekes born without color. The EU are children of violence. An Ok eke woman will never kill a child kindled inside of her. She would go against even her husband to keep a child in her womb alive. However, custom dictates that the child is the child of her father. These Guru had planted poison. An Ok eke woman who gave birth to an EU child was bound to the Guru through her child.
