Swimmer Law
this was the term used by the Swimming People of Dellalt to describe their social regulations. Among the many laws contained within the Swimmer Law was the idea that there could only be one Top Bull, but any other bull could challenge their right to hold the position. Simple combat decided which individual was the Top Bull, and the reigning male could hold the position as long as he kept defeating any challengers. Under Swimmer Law, each Swimmer was allowed to swim in the lakes of Dellalt, and any obstruction of their right-of-way was the grounds for a challenge. Although any challenge under Swimmer Law could be fought to the death, combat often ended with a ritualistic surrender of one individual to the other.
