That's another thing that confuses me. People speak as though the poachers have been a long running pain in the ass, but was it even possible to poach before the elementals were weakened in the Calamity? Originally people couldn't even live there without the elementals' permission; they were that powerful. But can all the bad things in the forest - poachers, Ixal, voidsent, monsters - really have only been around for five years? How powerful were the elementals?
Buscarron makes it clear the first time you meet him that everyone is welcome in his establishment as long as they cause no trouble in there, because everyone needs a place to feel safe and drink. I guess the Couerlclaws/Redbellies respect that.
As for the Couerlclaw King, he sounds pretty evil. Killing a Wood Wailer as an initiation rite is not something that a non evil person makes their followers do.
I wish we had more information.
