Make more mutants. Murder no man. Respect this sacred land.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The three short laws reveal the new nation's priorities and the tensions among them: survival, restraint towards outsiders, and obligations to its living home. They sound simple enough to remember. A society still has to decide how to live with what each command demands.

Spoilers for House of XShow the scene

House of X #6 (2019) records the first laws adopted by Krakoa's Quiet Council. The three commands appear together in a data page: make more mutants, murder no man, and respect the sacred land. They are a collective legal statement, rather than dialogue assigned to one councillor. Their order and the wording ‘Murder no man’ are retained here.
