In one of the stories in _The Book of Travels_ Feroze is called upon by the Lord of the Dead (obviously Cedon) to help judge a mortal who claims to follow Feroze. While the story could be read as simply giving guidelines to the proper behavior desired by Feroze, Exquaestio prefers a more literal view. In this judgement Feroze brings up ten virtues (Dream, Exploration, Otherness, Fiction, Learning, Research, Space, Thought, Time, and Truth) and uses them as measures against the man's life. He dismisses some actions as being the result of the four limitations (Capability, Communication, Assumption, and Perception) for which the soul is not responsible. He also states that the soul can continue to grow and learn even though it is now dead. The story ends just before judgement is passed, and the questor is left to decide what judgement would be appropriate.
