Life debt

: "I owed him a life debt, A'hllas."
: ―King Asolas speaking to the Shadow God about Tomy
The life debt was a social institution found in many honour-bound cultures throughout the galaxy, including the Netromorphs, Zathurams and Raveums. To summarise, if a person's life was saved by another, the saved person was obligated to pledge their life to protecting and looking after their saviour, even to the point of sacrificing their own life, if necessary.
The particularities of this bond, and the overall strength of the institution, varied from culture to culture. Among the Raveums, the bond was fairly loose, while among the Zathurams, the life debt was an extraordinarily solemn matter. Some unscrupulous recipients of a life debt would take advantage of their position by enslaving and otherwise mistreating the unfortunate person sworn to their service.

: A'hllas: "He is just a clone--"
: Asolas: "Yes. But he saved my life. It's our moral code. My father taught me a lot about life debts. I always promised him that I would follow the moral code of life debts. It's in my blood, my lord."
: ―The Shadow God A'hllas and King Asolas whom was discussing his life debt to Tomy 
Asolas' life debt to Tomy began when the Apex Brotherhood Assassin saved his life during the Ghost Empire's invasion of Giath. Asolas was about to be incinerated by a superlaser, but Tomy saved him by tackling him into a ditch. Asolas then pledged his life debt to Tomy, even resurrected him at one point. He continued to protect Tomy up until his permanent death.Category:Culture & Society
