If a man broke another's limb, talion, by which the person wronged could inflict the same injury, was still permitted, but only if no settlement was agreed upon. |
The protagonist, a ranger named Talion, is killed in the prologue, but his corpse is reanimated by an angry spirit named Celebrimbor. |
Until the end of the 18th century, talion provided the rationale for such corporal punishments as flogging, branding, mutilation, the stock, and the pillory. |
We're witnessing the demise of talion, the English word that describes punishment meted out to match the offense. |
But it is to be questioned whether the rule of talion is the right one for the Kabyles. |
You play Talion, a former Ranger of Gondor, who dies with his family at the start of the game. |
