	In pre-republic Teveth, it is customary for prisoners to be placed in cells containing tiles infused with animal bone powder, a material considered to be ''han'' siphons. In this manner, the prisoners' ''han'' can be gradually reduced until it reaches a level where executing the prisoners in question will not drain the ''han'' of those involved, as killing or condemning a person to death was considered ''han''-draining. This arrangement also provides a secondary psychic humiliation of being unable to do anything to stop the ''han-''draining, potentially barring condemned prisoners from reaching the afterlife.

−	It is based on rites and doctrines recorded in the Paleo-Tevethi scripture ''[[~~Mafakh en-Itepin~~]]'' (“Book of Creation”).

In Itepinist theology, Etep is formless and ineffable, and is said to possess ten distinct hypostases that are simultaneously Etep and expressions of Etep.

	Itepinist doctrine describes Etep as a primordial being who “slumbered” before creation. Etep is regarded as formless and ineffable and is not depicted anthropomorphically; Etep is not considered visually depictable in his totality. When representation occurs, it is typically limited to the creator’s name or to glyphs expressing Etep’s tenfold nature, and to images of Etep only as manifested in one of the ten hypostases. The Ere’im are treated as personifications of universal forces rather than separate creator gods, and may be invoked individually in ritual according to domain.
