Congratulations Sal!
With this victory comes a prize: The King's Decree! This special grant may be used during the Fall 2023 Cycle!
King's Decree
This cyclical prize is awarded to a duelist who performs excellently throughout the previous cycle and became the supreme Warden of Overlook.
Usage One
1. Can be used as a challenge grant against a Barony of the grant holders choosing (so long as the title holder is not under grace).
2. Can be paired with one (1) challenge right to convert the grant into an Overlord Challenge Grant.
In both cases of usage read above -- the grant holder will be allowed to appoint their own counter should an Overlord issue a test of worthiness against them. This appointment will supersede the right of a Renegade Baron to counter an Overlord's test of worthiness should the grant holder see fit.
Usage Two
1. The King's Decree can be used by its holder to either counter or issue a Test of Worthiness or Squire Test for either a Renegade or Loyal Baron.
a. Should this be a Test of Worthiness or Squire Test: The grant holder will be acting as "Squire"** or "Overlord" (without the benefits of the rank: fancies). Loyal Barons or the Overlord may counter if the Test is on behalf of a Renegade Baron. Renegade Barons may counter if this Test is on behalf of a Loyal Baron.*
b. Should this be a counter to a Test of Worthiness or a Squire Test then the grant user will act in the role of a Renegade/Loyal Baron. Like a Renegade Baron, this counter cannot be refused by a challenger.
*In the rare case that the Overlord chooses to issue a test to a challenger after the King's Decree holder announces their own intention, the Overlord's test will supersede and the decree will be considered unspent, returned, and may be used at a later date. There can only be one test issued during a challenge match. Added language that an Overlord could also counter if a Test was on behalf of a Renegade Baron. [Clarification Added: 2/3/2020 & 3/23/2023]
**Should a Squire be named for a Squire Test by a Baron, this will supersede the King's Decree, and the decree will be considered unspent, returned, and may be used at a later date. If the King's Decree announces their intention before any Barons, the decree will take priority. If a Baron announces their intent to intercede before the decree, the Baron will take priority. In all cases, the Overlord has highest priority for issuing or countering tests. [Clarification Added: 2/12/2022.]
Note: This is considered a Cyclical Title with a Cyclical Prize and NOT a Challenge Grant. This means that should a title-holder win Warden of Overlook, they must wait for 14-days after losing a title (a 'Cool-Down' period) before they can apply Usage One as per the Universal Terms of Challenge. [Clarification Added: 7/6/2020]
Note: As per the rules regarding a Test of Worthiness, anyone appointed to counter in a Test of Worthiness, as per Usage One, must be active on the standings. [Clarification Added: 10/18/2020]
Note: Usage Two has been updated to allow a Test of Worthiness to be issued for either a Loyal or Renegade Baron, and an intercession allowed against a Test of Worthiness or Squire Test issued by the Overlord or Renegade/Loyal Baron and/or their Squires. [Clarification Added: 2/12/2022]
