The Dragonclaw Duel is a traditional event held by the Draconian race within Neippon.
Layout
The Dragon Claw Duel is held by two combatants, often challenged to a right of passage or a place in ranking. If it involves taking over in leadership, then the leader would have to immediately surrender their place if they were to refuse the duel.
The battle is set in a large open area, mostly an arena, and the winner is decided on the last one standing, and/or if one of the combatants is killed.
