Tente
originally defined by Arvo Norstrag as part of the Rules of the Blade, this form of duel was recognized by the Phosphura Belt Pirates, and was settled quickly. The duel was over when the first blow was landed, when first blood was drawn, or when one of the combatants became unconscious. The exact details were agreed to by the duelists. Killing an opponent was forbidden in a tente duel, and those beings who killed their opponents were often marooned on a barely-inhabitable moon.
