The people of Kornosia are people of deep understanding of the spiritual realm. They tend to be more religous about issues then most secular nations. But that is not to say the people do not look at thier problems and situations in a none-secular way. Many of the people dont even include thier religion in thier matters. The people have a long rooted tradition of how to settle disputes and arguments.

Traditions of Kornosian people:

Disputes:

People who have disputes will try to solve the matter without the use of force. Many people use a methode called Call'hide. Which in Kornosin tongue means to " Prove the point." Which states that people who are involoved must provide proof of thier claims. If one of the people involoved in the dispute can not provide proof the claims in null and void.

If the people in the dispute refuse to let the argument go they are required to fill a form of domestic dispute. With this form the parties are taken to a domestic court. from thier the parties will give thier arguments. A panel of judges will deliberate on the situation. When the judges have reached who is correct in the matter. the winner can stake a cliam up to 30% of the other parties assets.

If the losing party still wants to push the issue they may challange the other party to a duel. A duel challange must be given in public and it must be for no less then to the death. If a duel challange is given the one who has been chaalanged or " Marked" must accept or risk losing his honor. The duels are closly monitored and are held in closed rooms. The rooms of called "Cages".
Stories of what happens in the Cages have been used as torutre methodes.

Two will enter the Cages and only one MAY leave. These duels are no holds bar matches. Anything may be used.
