Chapter II: Blood Ties
"Lord Falnis Orthran of House Orthran of Mereldinor. A companion of the unfortunate Sir Varonil, who lies yonder in the dirt," he adds, emphasizing the "Sir Varonil" part a bit too pointedly for Marabir's liking. "As all here can witness, he accepted and lost a duel to the death-- and there is no need to look like that, Aerendir. A promise to "rid the world" of your opponent cannot be anything other than a duel to the death. So I am at a loss, Your Highness, as to why you must intervene in this."
