I, Sir Del Goodman in my goodwill only wished to help this stranger, who looked in need of some charity.

Indeed this man was familiar with the 'Code of Honor' as am I. Now while I may overlook his lack of common courtesy for his absence of a proper introduction of neither himself nor addressing me by my proper title, but for him to offer me great insult by calling my honour into question is something I can't forgive.

As of the chivalry I have no patience for those that show a lack of respect and honour, he has not only insulted myself but also the entire 'Starkson Protectorate' and mi'lord to whom I serve aswell with his remarks. For one who claims to be familiar with chivalry would not have paid me such an insult so vile that even my blood did boil briefly.

Upon my honour I challenged this man to duel, from which he simply walked away from and offered no apology. I once again question his knowledge of the ‘code’ for one not prepared to back up your honour with steel shows a lack of upholding the code nor worth for his own honour.

We shall see who is the more honorable of us…. You can insult me with names like ‘bloodthirsty’, but it is you who has ultimately shown no shred of honour or respect.

You have insulted my honour and that of my Order therefore until a public apology has been given, my challenge still stands.

**Signed** Sir Del Goodman, Soldier of Vor, Soldier of the Starkson Protectorate

//ooc note: unless changed by the new soveriegn: the traditional colors of Starkson are dark blue and black. the roll of Starkson Knights has not traditionally been to impress, educate, or ego stroke.. rather to offer aid and support when needed while otherwise avoiding pointless conflict.

*falls down laughing when he reads the note*

Sorry but if I recall you clearly insulted me first and talked down to me like I was some serf. When clearly anyone with a brain could clearly see I was a Knight. Now for you actualy knowledge or should I say lack of knowledge of "The Code" is more correct ... threatening a person who clearly was unarmed and thumping your chest like some caveman is no proper way to act as a Knight. There will be no apology given to a person who clearly lacks honor and respect of other's.

It is not the way of the Starkson Protectorate to Make Threats to a person........ we have enough going on as it is....... if you we're insulted then please bring the matter before me and i will handle it accordingly.... Please do not think us as quick to draw swords in any conversation we will deal with this issue and i will have words with Del ......... posted below is a note ....Del see me near the tree in blackstone so we can work this out We do not need the headaches or the ill will of the people we are to protect not to fight...... Find me

Sir,
My apologies for the conduct of Del Goodman. He is only a probationary member of the Starkson Protectorate and will be questioned about his actions.

Lady Arial Sovereign of Starkson

*the golem hands over a case of Starkson wine*

*reads the note and looks at the Golem*

Apology not accepted, the damage has been done, be gone from my sight. *mutters* A real Lord and Lady would apologize in person and not send a beast to do its bidding.

*refuses the case of wine and walks off*

*Draco Centarii reads the notes and ponders over what is going on.* "So a smooth tranistion at Starkson may not occur ..." Draco says to his faithful companion Kadak. "Aye laddie ... I smell trouble." murmurs Kadak.
