Life-Service Bond (Omólogo ypiresías zoís, خدمات باند زندگی), a condition of enduring contractual obligation between patron and patronee, estimated at a nominal sum reckoned as the life-debt (chréos zoís, بدهی زندگی) of the supplicant, redeemed in increments by the value of services rendered to the bondholder. Originates in Neo-Babkhan and Raspurid customary practice, subsequently popularised in the Imperial State of Constancia during the reconstruction period after the Second Euran War.
Following Raspurid practice, the recipient of a life-service bond is known as a Kul in recognition of the honour thereby bestowed through meritorious service to a higher purpose.
