Description
The
42 tribes of Dragon's Rhest are kept in line by
Lanikar's will alone. Through both threats and
bribery, he has managed to keep his city internally
peaceful, despite it's unusual diversity. Each
tribe is expected to pay an homage (i.e. extortion
fee) to the grand chief amounting to 10% of their
profit. Any tribe's actions must not interfere
in any way with another tribe's actions. If a
dispute arises, it is to be immediately taken
to Lanikar for judgement. If it is clear to Lanikar
that both parties have equal claim in the dispute,
then the matter must be settled in Thunderdome
- two men enter, one man leaves. The chieftan
of each tribe in question must face the other
in a closed deathmatch - even if this was a personal
matter not of their concern. Either chief may
choose to bow out of the match at any time prior
to the beginning of the match, thus allowing the
victor right to the claim, however once the cage
is closed, it is up to the stronger opponent whether
to be merciful (i.e. quick) or not when the loser
is killed. Only once has anyone been foolish enough
to question the right of Lanikar's tribe, Entropy,
and face Lanikar in Thunderdome. The 18th level
Ogre barbarian experienced a very slow, painful
death... but was quickly devoured afterwards.
