18.1.6 The Duel

Held by the city of Esterport, the Duel is a long standing tournament that was born in the original Delosian arena and now finds its home in the second reincarnation of the Fields of Valor.

The Duel is a massive gauntlet of one-on-one fights where combatants rise through a double-elimination format by defeating their opponents in single combat. Seeding is initially decided by your standing within the Sect of Blades, followed by some slight adjustments at the host's discretion to keep things fair and fun.

The last warrior standing in the tournament is honoured with fame across the land and is granted the Rapier of the Master Duelist, a powerful artifact capable of singling out enemy fighters and challenging them to a one-on-one fight to the death.

The Rapier works as follows:

Syntax: POINT <rapier> AT <target>

- The Rapier must be wielded to use its power.
- POINT the Rapier at your target to trap yourself and your target in an inescapable two room arena.
- If either the opponent or holder are unable to kill the other after a set amount of time, both will die.
- This power may only be invoked every 3 hours.
- The Rapier will disappear after 5 uses.
