The Sovrans: Patricide

The intentional killing of one's own father, or the patriarch of one's own house is a deep taboo in all the Four Lands of Erenth. 

While self-defense is also one of the ancient Sovrans, there is some question as to whether it can be applied against one's father, and by extension the patriarch of one's own House. 

Some hold that even if the killing is unavoidable it is still accompanied by a deep and unshakeable curse. 

Violating the prohibition against patricide is an atrocity and therefore a capital crime.
