Death Rites

"Cetanu' myin-de u'dakas ki'tka" - All paths lead to Cetanu.

All yautja are worried about their deaths and the proper manner of them. There might not be any witnesses to carry the tale to their friends and relatives. No one would know if they had died bravely or not. But in the end they would know. All beings died, eventually. No one escaped the Black Warrior. But if it happened in battle, if they met the gods with blood on thier blades, and their laughter at death still echoing around them, that was the Path to honor.

Smiling into the face of Death was sometimes said to unnerve even the Black Warrior. A noble death was as much a victory as a noble conquest.
