Book content

...To my most esteemed readers, I have a piece of advice: if you ever find yourself in Ahjat, don't ever get into verbal spats with maafs. According to local customs, any maaf has a right to defend their honor in a duel, and you can never know what they will perceive as an offense: after all, their foul temper is nothing to scoff at. And once the situation escalates, your chances of survival become, let's be honest, rather slim - maafs are unrivaled in single combat.

Not so long ago, I witnessed one of such duels with my own eyes. A young and brash elf had a lot to say about the bloodline of a certain maaf. Before the duel commenced, all those insults were loudly recounted to the delight of the crowd, bringing the maaf to the boiling point. The moment a piece of crimson cloth touched the arena sand, he charged at his opponent with both a polehammer and a murderous intent at the ready.

The elf was purported to be a talented fencer, but that day luck wasn't on his side. The very first strike brought him to his knees. For a few moments he tried to reach for his saber and get back on his feet, but it was already too late - the maaf lowered his hammer on the insolent challenger's skull, thus concluding the fight. The crowd cheered as the elf's body was carried away from the arena - a valuable lesson to those who don't know when to keep their mouth shut!..
