Contract Enforcement

The Bosmer have a very unique, if gruesome, approach to ensure that contracts between unequal partners are still guaranteed equal treatment. The more powerful party is required to leave a pact-hostage with the tribe of the less advantaged party, and the pact-hostage cannot be freed until the contract has been fulfilled. Said pact-hostage is treated with all the courtesy of a honored guest, fed and plied with plentiful alcohol and viands, until the contract is completed or considered broken.

When the contract is left unfulfilled for too long, reneged on, or broken, through ignorance or malice, the pact-hostage is slated to be executed ritually at a stone altar to Y'ffre, and then prepared into the meal called "Unthrappa". This Unthrappa is then served to the partner who failed to complete the contract in a reasonable amount of time, as a gesture of atonement, and the wrongful party is made to eat their sin and consume their failure. The contract can still be completed, if the wrongful party is willing to go further with amends toward the wronged party, but most foreigners prefer not to associate themselves with the other party after eating the Unthrappa.

Minor persons of interest

Icarian was made famous in the settlement of ???? in Cyrodiil, both through his dreams of creating a spell of true, natural-feeling flight, and through the numerous deaths associated with his unfinished spell being refined without success. He entered the history of spellcrafting through this infamy, and to this day many magic institutions refer to disregard for common safeguards as "icarian tendencies" or "icarian methods".
