Eschatology, I think, is beliefs regarding the fate of the soul after death and the end of the world. There's been a lot of stuff about the soul post death in the books, and I gather that the Dragaeran belief system is sort of in a neverending Cycle? There doesn't seem to be a belief in a catastrophic Ragnarok or a messiah of some sort mentioned in the religion in the book. As for incest taboos, from what I recall >from anthro texts, those mainly have to do with which cousins you're forbidden to marry (were Morrolan's parents first cousins? I recall they were somehow related, but I can't recall), but most of the marriage drama in the Dragaera books has to do with forbidden exogamy (relations outside group). Charmian
