The Silver-Jade Duel

The Silver-Jade Duel was a historical sword fight between Sir Xerrus Riksilver and Mye Kovo Saechyn, the Jade Rider at the peak of The Whispered War of 1750. The duel was to settle terms between The Yrdain Empire and The Jerisain Sun, as both leaders wanted to avoid war for different reasons.

Lead-Up
Having kidnapped the Ditarch and other members of the Royal family, Kovo, the de-facto leader of The Jerisain Sun, successfully baited RorymIII into the abandoned town of Jheganj, pulling off what no-one else had during the latter's entire reign. RorymIII set out from Erwood aboard R.E.V Galekon, at the head of a fleet that would make landfall in Quaydesh; large enough to defend itself from potential attack, but small enough not to provoke all-out-war.

Kovo, anticipating his new ally Coast Hirak'hun would aid in the trap, prepared and gathered a bulk of The Jerisain Sun in an abandoned town near Mt. Thyr. Along with the Ditarch, Prince Pantryr and Princess Astyira were also hostages, lined up for ransom. His original plan was to lure in the Primonarch's fleet and have Coast ambush them from the sky, causing enough chaos for Kovo to eliminate RorymIII himself, but not before executing the Ditarch as well.
