The Holy Writ of Tao[]
Tao's holy laws include a number of strange practices, including:
- A traitor may choose between death by firing squad, or "the two terrible tests": fighting on a platform suspended over an Octosak filled water tank, and battling three Tigrons. A traitor who has survived the tests can not be killed. ("The Monsters of Mongo")
