Wesley, about Pentans:
> A captured enemy must be given a chance to honour himself
> before his ancestors before he is sent to them; pulling
> out his nails or flaying him allows the chance to show
> his stoicism to all and to enter the Wandering Steppe with
> his pride intact

We are always considerate of other Praxians when we capture them, and always take care to give them such chances. Only non-human enemies like Pentans are killed outright, without the chance to show honor. We don't do so much with nails and flaying, however, but more with fire. Fire is our friend. One also occasionally uses toothless Rubble Runners, when time is available. Especially honored enemies are given knives or other implements to demonstrate themselves how noble they are, such displays sometimes lasting over two nights.

Merry Sacred Time
Daniel
