If they under threat of physical harm, then the "host" (and by extension, should they be present or nearby, the host's family) is honor-bound to defend them to the death, provide their security, shelter, sustenance, and care.
 * Hero's Burial
 * two main burials: strip body, let the scavengers eat it; other wise strip body and burn it, sprinkle ashes into the sands
 * Trial by Combat
