- As a Humakti you legally have no kin (see "The Severing", ST 96): "A
person who joins Humakt truly erases his former relationships."..."Without
Kinship, a Humakti is not a member of a bloodline or clan." Even going
through the Resheathing ceremony doesn't re-unite you with your kin.
- Outlaws are "beyond" kinship (TR 44): "Bloodlines generally mourn outlaws
as those already dead, for their kinship is severed." Since the *Clan* (as
opposed to the *Tribe*) outlawed him, he is truly severed from his kin.
You can kill your brother and still sleep at night (assuming you don't have
a geas about sleeping at night...).
