[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 4140796, member: 6390"] Calling someone out in a duel was NOT considered evil, and until fairly recently, people killed in duels were either morons for taking on someone above their skill level, or glamorized/idolized by the general public. There were insults that could be said that couldn't be borne, including disparations against one's linage, bride/wife/betrothed, social standing, personal habits, and honor/bravery. If you walked up to a knight and accussed him of mating with the corpses of dead men and having bad breath from drinking the seed of farm horses with breakfast, he'd challenge you to a duel on the spot, IF he didn't just knock your head off. Guess who is evil in that situation? You. Not him for defending personal and family honor, but you, for disparaging him. You need to seriously take a good look at what was considered evil and good back in the day, and maybe even go back over history again. Focus on the reasons and outcomes and public perceptions of duels. Oh, by the way, how did you pen issue ever pan out? [/QUOTE]
