Trial By Combat

A Trial by Combat is a right given in Greymarch to the accused to alternatively settle matters of crime and punishment. It consists solely of a single-combat duel to the death.

While there are normal trials present in the Republic, choosing to attempt to prove your innocence through a Trial by Combat changes the process considerably. After demanding your trial, you are immediately afforded supervised shelter (so you don't try to escape) and scheduled a trial date in one of the many Fighting Pits scattered across the nation.

You are not required to personally fight in a Trial by Combat, nor is your accuser. Both parties are afforded the choice to be represented by their own chosen champion, as long as they are able to produce them in a timely fashion.

If the accused, or his champion, wins the trial, they are acquitted of all charges and allowed to go free.
