Nanawatai
Nanawatai (also nanawateh, nanawatey) means 'sanctuary' in the Pashto language, and is a tenet of the Pashtunwali code of the Pashtuns. Nanawatai gives the requestor complete asylum, and once granted by the Pashtun clan, the seeker is protected at all costs against his or her enemies. This means that every Pashtun is willing to suffer, fight, and even die for anyone who comes knocking at his door seeking refuge[1], even if it's his worst enemy.[2]
This concept is showcased in The Beast.
