A Formal Challenge

Sir Vadislav, By Varangian law and the rites of Lord Varik, I hereby formally challenge you to ritual combat. Long I have borne your thousand tiny injuries, but now you have ventured upon insult, and I will have satisfaction. If there is courage in your heart to match the venom in your words, you will arrive at the site of our landing within three days to answer this challenge. If not, you forfeit your valor and your place in our order, under Lord Varik’s Law. By blood, by stone, by marrow and bone, I challenge you. Steel is the only sacrament. Victory is the only god. Ever the praises to Iznovgorod. Ever the praises to the Hammer. Awaiting at your pleasure, Sir Anton
