 The concerns that drive the decision not to have a story staff, themselves, are not all rare. Where story staves are kept, it is still true that, when in peril, the ryrhakenem is meant to abandon their story staff (ideally somewhere where it will not be discovered by the source of the peril) as that someone else might find it and reconstruct the stories lost with the capture of the ryrhakenem that owned the staff. This rarely works out as intended (either because the staff is found by the Nayabaru and destroyed, the staff is never found by kavkema, or the notes are too opaque as that the stories can be reconstructed into anything but arbitrary interpretations), but the ritual of having a story staff is nonetheless a central part of most kavkem cultures. The concerns that drive the decision not to have a story staff, themselves, are not all rare.

 In some [[:kavkem:mythology|mythologies]], story staves are considered to have mystical power, often ascribed a life of their own - albeit a largely passive one, much like the trees they're made from. A well-tended story staff is, in many cosmologies, a physical equivalent of what humans might call 'plot armour' - be it through the blessings of the demigod //[[kavkem:mythology:Ateheril]]// or through other metaphysical means, a ryrhakenem carrying many stories is considered much safer from the dangers of the world than the average kavkem. (This is, of course, mostly wishful thinking.) In some [[:kavkem:mythology|mythologies]], story staves are considered to have mystical power, often ascribed a life of their own - albeit a largely passive one, much like the trees they're made from.
