Setting the Terms
Texto
Different clans have different practices when it comes to dueling, but characters can define their own duels as long as they agree on the terms, which include:
The objective of the duel (to the first strike, to incapacitation, to the death, or another goal).
The weapons and fighting styles allowed.
The Crane Clan reveres the iaijutsu duel as a high art, but warriors of the Crab Clan scoff at the notion of removing their armor for battle—and rarely allow lethal duels, for samurai are in short supply on the Kaiu Wall. The Unicorn Clan often wrestle or fight duels with bows.
If the belligerent parties cannot agree to terms for the duel, it falls to the reigning lord (the individual with the highest status present, or the one on whose lands the duel is taking place, in the case of a tie) to decide the method of battle and stakes of victory.
