A Kris was held in Freetown. Here is an account of what happened on that day, written by Senta Turkv'os:

I was in presence at the Kris held in the open-air meeting hall in Freetown. Here is my account of what happened.

First, both involved parties, Denezaro Kris'alis and Poli Rub'eus arrived before the Kris at the appointed time at 10 o'clock this morning. The Head of the Kris, Guildmaster Orbiso Em'raldus of the Brewers' Guild, did not have time to begin the proceedings before Rub'eus had slapped Kris'alis with a glove and challenged him to a duel of honor. After conferring with Kris'alis, Em'raldus agreed to allow the duel before the hearing. He decided to set the end of the duel at Thrice Blooding.

The duel began, and Kris'alis quickly made a first and second strike. However, Rub'eus counterattacked on the second strike and managed to graze Kris'alis's arm. Kris'alis was severely injured by this grazing, more so than the wound would seem to harm him, so Em'raldus called an end to the duel and his men inspected the weapons, finding residue from a vorpal coating on the blade of Rub'eus. This is a grave breach of conduct.

Rub'eus exploded with anger, claiming innocence, then proceeded to attack the guards with Chaos magic. However, Kris'alis had snuck behind him and dealt him a single blow with the dagger, dropping Rub'eus to the ground.

The Kris passed judgment after this event. Not only was Rub'eus guilty of attacking one "Todd the Great", but he was also found guilty of tampering with a duel of honor and casting Necromancy within the boundaries of Freetown. Rub'eus has been stripped of title, name, and possessions. He will be shunned by all Dalanti, and we ask that all gypsies everywhere shun him as well.

We are awaiting a representative of House Rub'eus to come forward with a new individual to fulfill the role of Elder of Rub'eus.
