Guest friendship
Guest friendship is a concept of great import in the
lands of Thylea . It requires that all hosts show generosity and courtesy to guests who are far from home, no
matter what disputes may divide the two parties. For
guest friendship to be established, a host must invite
someone into their home and provide them with food
or drink.
It is expected that the guest should provide a gift to
the host to seal the friendship, but the bond is established as soon as the guest has shared a meal with
the host. The bond of guest friendship ends when the
guest has departed with the host’s blessing. After that,
the two may become enemies once more.
However, if one party brings about harm to the
other while the bond is in effect, then the friendship
is broken, and the offending party is now subject to
the Curse of the Treacherous. The Furies are widely
known to be the arbiters of such disputes, and few are
willing (or foolish enough) to suffer their wrath.
