Feint of Honor

A Feint of Honor is an ancient rite that allows two dragons (or two parties of dragons each represented by a leading figure) to settle a dispute without the need for mortal combat. It consists of a battle between two dragons, each with one or more witnesses who do not take part, until one is subdued or surrenders, at which point the Feint is concluded. The use of breath weapons and magic during the combat is forbidden. Dragons are bound by their honor to adhere to the terms and the outcome of the Feint.

Although Feints of Honor are almost always exclusively between dragons, in -205 DR, the elf Iliphar Nelnueve challenged the black dragon Thauglor to a Feint of Honor.
