Golden Death

Golden Death was a purchasable option offered by the Company to relatives of dying individuals. It allowed the recipient to die without suffering, but was expensive. Cordo bought it for his father, but was unable to pay. He had been told it was eighty talmars for the Golden Death, but Gatherer Hade told him his death tax stood at one hundred and seventeen talmars. Cordo fled to the undercity to avoid the Company's reprisals. (TV: The Sun Makers)
