Honourful Slaughter

Honourful Slaughter describes the outdated, albeit traditional practice of honour killing amongst the Raven Tribe. Dating back several thousands years to the reign of R'sojih the Cruel, honourful slaughter is nowadays regarded as a crime, and is no longer accepted, even throughout most Vulture Tribe-controlled territories.

Honourful slaughter may be preformed for many reasons, but in most cases, it is done by spouses who have evidence that their significant other has committed adultery against them. If not that, honourful slaughter is also used as a form of vigilante justice when a Miqo'te feels that their case against a fellow tribesman - for any reason, but with crimes against family especially - have been disregarded by the modern judicial systems.

History
Honourful slaughter was a term first coined by R'sojih a few years into his reign, specifically following the Doe's Blood Massacre and the Rape of R'Ahlia. Citing that both the leader of the Elk Tribe and one of his many wives, R'Ahlia, had tarnished his reputation amongst the rest of the Raven Tribe, he used the term to justify his murder of almost 91% of the rival tribe and execute both the Nunh of the Elk Tribe and his wife.

Criticisms
What criticisms that R'sojih may have faced at the time concerning the honourful slaughter are widely unknown, specifically because of the mass censorship which was occurring throughout the duration of his reign as Nunh. During the reign of the Nunhs after him, it is widely acknowledged that most Elders of the tribe condemned honourful slaughter, instead insisting that a fair judicial review of any civic cases be done before vigilante justice was exercised. Many Nunhs agreed with this notion up until the revival of pseudo-authoritarian government beneath Z'Nahxzh.
