In the halls of the great city of Eastcliffe partook a magnificent ball of beautiful proportions. The Duchess Aramis of Eastcliffe had sent out invitations to any who wished to attend such a splendid occasion, attracting Canonist Clergymen, Nobility of all nations, and even commoners. Among the many who attended was Ser Gustaven von Halsfield, a Knight of Hyspia and a Baron under the Principality of Sedan, and Caesar Einarsson Kvitravn, the Son of a Norlandic Chieftain and a warrior of the Northguard. Relations between the two men had never been smooth, Gustaven and Caesar had engaged in a brawl with each other within the Tavern of Osanora over the supposed infidelity of Gustaven towards his pregnant wife only two months prior. At the ball while Caesar was conversing with one of the attendees, Gustaven approached him and a hoard of insults was thrown between the two men. After Gustaven had proclaimed his masculinity, Caesar publicly challenged the man to a duel. After consent was given by the Duchess Aramis, the two were taken outside the keep with a crowd of onlookers following closely behind, including one of Gustaven's alleged mistresses.

 

The duel began after a handshake was exchanged between the two men, and swords were drawn with Caesar uttering a quick prayer to Bjorn the Paragon and the All-Father. As the two men stared each other down, time seemingly slowed for the two combatants. What seemed like an hour of glaring the other man down was only a few seconds as Gustaven swung his blade towards Caesar's leg. Reacting quickly, Caesar was able to parry the man's attack and proceeded to try and bash the man's face with his hilt to no avail. Gustaven again thrusted his blade towards Caesar's leg, grazing the man and prompting a painful roar from him. Caesar lifted his blade high into the air, grasping it with both hands as he swung downward at Gustaven's forearm...and then it was over.

 

Caesar's blade had cut almost halfway through Gustaven's forearm causing him to yell in pain. With a mixture of curses, cries of pain, and yelling, Gustaven fell to his knees and began clutching his wound. A mere moment later, Gustaven yelled out to stop the duel. The fight was over, Caesar had won after only four moves were exchanged. Caesar let out a proud roar as Gustaven fell unconscious, praising the All-Father and Clan Kvitravn and then sheathing his blade. The onlookers dispersed, and the medics on sight rushed to tend to Gustaven's wounds.

Ophelia Romanov giggled at the words, seeing it first hand was truly the best.

 

”Gustaven got his arse beat and almost lost his arm. Maybe he shouldn’t cheat on his wife and this would’ve never occurred.”

[Qaz_The_Great 1189]

Caedric would nod proudly at the another strong Son of Norland making his mark on the world. "Bjorn 'ad looked upon ye' t'at day. Ye' bring glory te' yer' clan."

[AstriaS 3709]

The High Keeper nodded in approval as she heard of a successful, and honorable duel. "Good to hear the Kvitravns are keeping up the good work."

Zugha'Gorkil, once known as Ser Sugha the Tower, the first knight of Hyspia, chuckled as he heard the tale. "Nub wundah da pinkeh be hyden frum da mitey Zugha! FUTH BLOWZ!"
