This book is written in the voices of the past elders and warriors. The living dead and ancestral spirits guided me in the process of writing this document. It is going to greet many readers with surprises. The past narrated stories by the elders were recalled in thoughts and finally in writing. They might have not communicated with me directly but their presence was felt throughout. The departed and the fallen warriors have been close. The mourning sessions and reflections of the beloved brothers and friends empowered me to accomplish this material for their remembrance. Additionally, the forefathers, grandfathers, grandmothers, and long-gone mothers watched over and guided me when the philosophy overridden my normal health conditions. We live in a world of chaos and we can come out of them. We live in a world of disparities and we can make it out as well. We live in a world of daily mental disturbances and we can walk over them in defeat. The study of three philosophical components of 'Bor E Nyiethiic, Bor E Joh and Bor E Achuuk' played a significant role in bringing the concealed past messages into their meaningful interpretations. This book is a continuation of the Anuet Kingdom studied in the third publication. We are made of history and definitely of culture. In unconditional appreciation and lively memories, the elders showed up. For example, Ngang Chol Yach, Pach Garang Madol, Beer Ngong Ajak, Naka Thiong Kuei, Mareng Bior Kur, Ajak Kuereng Ajak, Kuoi Jok Malual, Kuol Yai Akuei, and Tiar Ghai Akuei contributed positively towards the studied philosophy. Without forgetting, the living population had their time as well, and more are covered in the upcoming chapters. I, therefore, wholeheartedly dedicated these writings to those who believed in the stories, history and narratives. The written open book is also dedicated to those who will be willing to pay attributes to some of their concepts, if not all. A reminder to the elders and past generations, we are spiritually, religiously and historically together. I love you all.

The author of this book is a married writer with two kids. The book is meant for the two daughters (Aman and Athou) to help them know their grandmothers, grandfathers and members of the extended family. My wife (Akuch Mawuut Magaar Yuot Bior) is ancestrally from Payendai Clan of Anyidi Payam--Bor County of Jonglei State. She has been supporting me throughout the writing adventure with words and advice, if not written contributions. The family of Tihook Akoy Rieeny Gore is large to account for all here, but this minority clan began with Thiong Tihook Akoy (where my wife comes from), Anyang Tihook Akoy, Kuol Tihook Akoy and their daughter Athieng Tihook Akoy (Originally married to Pathan in Abii Clan). The inter-communal wars in both Choltong and Panyeer villages caused them to leave for Anyidi payam to date. Therefore, the four categories are the ones presently in Anyidi apart from those in Aboudit Clan. They are briefly involved in the study aside the journeys taken on Chol Ngong Ajak Anuet Thodoh Gorbek. This book can inspire the readers who are passionate of knowing their family roots to the eleventh generations and it is recommended. Admire its plot and setting to come up with a better one for your family. It can help.
