"Blood Price"@en . . . . "A blood price is a Kencyr concept regarding revenge for the slain. Traditionally, a blood-price is paid by a member of the slain's house killing their killer. It can also be paid through gold, or though other arrangements. Blood prices can also be waved, the the slain's family doesn't deem it necessary. In lieu of formal blood-prices, other types of challenges may be made instead."@en . . . . "A blood price is a Kencyr concept regarding revenge for the slain. Traditionally, a blood-price is paid by a member of the slain's house killing their killer. It can also be paid through gold, or though other arrangements. Blood prices can also be waved, the the slain's family doesn't deem it necessary. Blood prices are demanded by the slain's family, and if the dead's family is all killed as well, blood prices are rendered somewhat irrelevant. In the Kithorn massacre, after one Kencyr was killed, the Merikit killed everyone to try to stop the Kencyr coming after them for the blood price. Blood prices cannot be demanded if both the victim and killer are of the same house, though maternal blood-kin of another house can demand blood prices as well. At Tentir, if a cadet is killed, their house cannot claim their blood price. This may only count if both the victim and killer are at the college; after Anise is killed by Noyat raiders, Jame refers to her killer's death as Anise's blood price. Since Jame did not actively hunt the Noyat, however, the no blood prices of any rule kind might still be how it goes. In lieu of formal blood-prices, other types of challenges may be made instead."@en . . "Blood price"@en . . .
