The Earth Wife's Favorite is a role held by a young man in native Rathillien fertility rites, both among the Merikit and in Kothifir, and likely elsewhere besides. On Summer Solstice every year, the Favorite fights a Challenger in order to retain his position; if he loses the Challenger becomes next year's Favorite. The Favorite is also the Earth Wife's lover, and the "darling of the hills". The Earth Wife presents her lover to her consort, the Burnt Man, as their son, this being called "fooling death".
