To Sir Germaine

Sir Malcolm Luther Germaine,

I have seen you on the field of battle.  You are a fierce and formidable warrior.  You are a crusader for the Light, a champion of order, and a pillar of law.  And your conduct is no better than that of a schoolyard bully.

While your words upon this wall were removed for reasons of which I am unaware, they did not escape my notice.  Your declaration of Moirya Arkanian Rasia as a thief and a whore was unfounded, uncalled for, and untrue.  When has she sold her body?  What has she been convicted of stealing?  When has she even been accused of a crime against the Barony of Travance or the Kingdom of Kormyre?

You are a knight, Sir Germaine.  By your own word, your will is tantamount to that of the King.  Likewise, your conduct both represents and reflects upon the nobility you serve.  Live up to the standards that you have set for yourself.  Act in a manner worthy of the respect you demand.  Show that you possess not only the courage of a knight, but the grace and dignity of one as well.

Sir Malcolm Luther Germaine, I challenge you to behave in a manner befitting of the station granted to you.  I challenge you to exhibit the social graces expected not only of the nobility, but of decent men.  I challenge you to retract your base and baseless slander of Moirya Arkanian Rasia.  

Failing that, on the behalf of Moirya, I challenge you to meet me on the field of honor.

~Tobar Moroz Rasia

Vagabond,

Your insolence is daunting. How dare you approach me with such a tone after all i have done for you. Have you forgotten the wisdom i shared with you? Do you not recall the lessons of humility and valor i imparted? Has my personally saving your wretched life on several occasions passed from from your memory? How sad and strange your values must be to think yourself righteous enough to challenge me.

Regardless, if you are still set on crossings swords than I accept your challenge. You will face me in a contest of pure martial skill. Leave your curses, magic, alchemy, or whatever other trickery you planned to use behind.

It will be a pleasure to swat the teeth from your mouth.

Sir Malcolm Luther Germaine
Slayer of Men

Sir Malcolm Luther Germaine,

Respected Knight[strike] and lord[/strike].

As this is an issue of question of honor, and one of heated tempers, may humbly request that honor duel guidelines be followed.  In this instance, I speak of the fact that Tobar has questioned your honor in regards to written words scribed in regards to one of my people... and while I do not begrudge his eagerness to react, I would wish that you allow a second to be named in his place if he does not follow through with his challenge.  

In the instance that Tobar does run, it without a doubt reflects upon himself, however I believe that the issue as a whole will not be settled to your satisfaction until such a time where you may prove your position by means of combat.  I do not suspect that you will need a second, due to the tales I have heard of your martial prowess, however I feel that my people may need another to finish this unwanted business if Tobar is to run away.  In the instance that you are unable to be in attendance to this honor duel, due to the greater responsibility of the weight you carry as a Knight, you do also have the right to name a second.  

Tobar has challenged you, you a respected Knight, and regardless of his intent he has spoken on behalf of others.  Those others need representation if Tobar does not follow through, so that you may be provided your pound of flesh.


I thank you for your consideration and time goodly knight,

Paetros

Paetros -

While I am sure you meant it only as an honorific, Sir Germaine is not a Lord. To refer to him as such is inappropriate.


Lord Apollo Abendroth

Lord Abendroth,

Indeed, a simple honorific... that is why it was spelled with a little 'l' instead of a capital 'L'.  In regards to yourself, I would refer as per the title instead of the phrase that any of us common folk would use to signify they were speaking to one of nobility.  Since I have not heard great deal of Sir Malcolm Luther Germaine, 'The Slayer of Men', I found it inappropriate to assume to refer to him as laird or by what other titles have been applied to him by his Lordship or any Lord above him.
