Mora’dum – the application of Terror
“Minbari rite and exercise used by the Anla’shok in the training of all Rangers.
Roughly translated into English as “the application of terror”, the rite itself is designed to test a Ranger’s ability to recognise, withstand and overcome their own fear while at the same time learning to apply terror against an adversary. The exact circumstances of the test can vary as it may be tailored to suit each individual”
From the episode Learning Curve (S05e05):
Captain Elizabeth Lochley: So, what kind of terror are we talking about here, Delenn?
Delenn: The kind that cripples; the kind that destroys. Not from without, but from within. As soon as he can stand, whether he is fully healed or not, Tennier will prepare to face his terror. Those who harmed him now have power over him. He must take back that power or he will never be whole again. We will go with him, and bring him to the point of his terror. And then, he will face it.
Captain Elizabeth Lochley: But if he isn’t fully healed, he could die in the effort.
Delenn: As Anla’shok, we choose to do that which frightens us, knowing that there are no guarantees. He may lose; we cannot help him.
Captain Elizabeth Lochley: Then he will stand alone.
Delenn: At the end, Captain, we all stand alone.
