Kinslaying

Kinslaying is a great taboo in Tennim. Any individual who kills a member of their own family is dubbed a kinslayer, and believed to be cursed forever. Many nobles and smallfolk believe this, and thus those who slay their own blood are usually looked down upon or shunned. Across Tennim, in almost every religon, men state that "no man is so accursed as the kinslayer" and that "the kinslayer is accursed in the eyes of gods and men".
