2. Duel! For a win you will be rewarded 4 points to your house, for a tie 3 points, and for a loss 2 points. There are no restrictions to number of duels per night.

Joined a Dueling House last cycle? You will still be listed below as a member of your current House.

Interested in leaving your Dueling House or want to joining another? Post your intent in this thread and you will be switched. Sadly your points will stay with the House you gained them for, but any new points will be rewarded to your new one of choice!

The Champion of House Steel, Rachael Douglas, is awarded a Non Test-Free Barony Challenge Grant, as well as a Test-Free Barony Grant for winning the Gladiator Gauntlet for having 166 individual points! Since she's the Baron of Old Temple she has the opportunity to gift both challenge grants away.

Congratulations to House Royal, the House Champions, and prize winners! Thank you for your participation in the sport of Duel of Swords and look forward to seeing more House against House action in the Cycle of Spring!

(( Grants have 14 days, starting from the time of this post, to be used to challenge for a title. Gift-able grants have 14 days to be given away. The user of the gifted grant will then have 14 days, starting the day of the gift announcement, to use the grant. ))
