From the Tribe of the Oak
463. Before sleeping, you must pour a ring of salt around yourself, to keep evil away.
From the Tribe of the Thorn
464. Murder for personal gain is simply a means to an end. A tactic like any other. It is not inherently evil, it is not inherently good. It just is. To kill a man in his bed is only different from killing him in battle in that it is easier and poses less risk for the killer.
465. If a member of the tribe is murdered, there is no investigation. He was killed because he was weak. If it is obvious who killed him, though, (i.e. bloody trail from the body to the killer, murder in plain view, etc.) then justice is meted out swiftly and harshly. But if the murder is quiet and no one sees, life simply goes on.

467 when you first draw your weapon for combat you must draw your own blood (doing so is to prevent shock when you are cut by your enemy) preferably in some graphic manner like dragging your knife across your chest, or cutting your cheek
468 when a weapon is drawn so must be blood, if you choose to be merciful and not slay your enemies you must cut yourself to satisfiy this tradition (don't draw your weapon unless you are commited to using it.)

469 green is the color of death (rot and mold)
470 spit on the ground as a sign of respect, pouring water on the ground is a solemn means of sealing a pact
both are from the Fremen of the Dune series by Frank Herbert
