Defender Victory!  Marshal Ravier Nebehn wounded in Death Dual with Sir Jaroslav Principe! 5 February 1012 Westmoor City was today in turmoil over the wounding of the WC’s Marshal Ravier Nebehn. Sir Jaroslav Principe has for the last few days been speaking out publicly against the Church of Humanity. What began as a disagreement with the King over the church of Ibladesh’s moral grounding in the south soon erupted into a heated argument over the moral standing of the COH. Although a lot of exchanges in debate were given in Westmoor I’ll quote just a few (in a somewhat futile attempt to keep things brief): Sir Jaroslav was quoted as saying: Look at the Church of Humanity and their arguments that the endless deaths of tens of thousands in the south is justified, because they don't follow the same religion. When, neither religions are particularly bad, or evil, though I would say the COH should be more accurately referred to as the Church Of The Morally Dubious… though they barely count as a religion at all. The King was quoted as saying (After being accused of aggressively expanding COH): …Holy Church is the only faith on this continent that forbids the use of faith to seize foreign lands. We are the only faith that practices solely preaching by the word, not by the sword. Holy Church defends, protects. It does not attack. Ravier Nebehn yesterday evening presented the following duel challenge which was drafted to all nobles of the realm: Jaroslav of House Principe, You have insulted my honour and the honour of my House. By insinuating that the faith I believe in is morally dubious, and by extension that my nature is morally dubious, you are treading my good name and my service to the realm into the dirt. I will not suffer such trespass on my good name, or the name of my family. I hereby challenge you to a duel until surrender in Westmoor. Sir Jaroslav responded with a refusal to duel until surrender instead insisting on a duel until death: Baron Ravier, I decline to accept your demand for a duel until surrender, and instead propose that we duel until death or not at all. For matters such as honour must be defended with ones life in order to achieve satisfaction, anything less would be a poor attempt to gain satisfaction without truly defending their name and honour. If you see fit to truly defend your honour, then present yourself to me at the morning. The courts were today in turmoil in discussing the legality of the dual. Permission for a duel until Surrender was apparently granted by the Royal Council but a duel until death was not. As such discussion has been brought about over the interpretation of the Judge Bulletin line: *Duels will be investigated on a case by case basis by the Council to determine its legality. which Sir Armstrong openly questioned as weak. Lord Justice Antonius Turner openly condemned the Duel. King Jor expressed his disgust also and suggested that Marshal Ravier was also on hot ground, with the law, for accepting such a challenge. Nobles of the realm are awaiting both for the decision of the Royal Council and to see whether or not Marshal Ravier recovers from his wounds. Editor Mathros Archives
