He would travel 20 days and find a descendant of Nivorah named <name>. He and <name> will fight a duel, <Verius/Antengus/etc.> says, with the winner gaining prowess and much magic.

Consequences[]
A duel to first blood is actually more dangerous for your duelist, making their death likelier.
Victory in the duel will provide a point or two of magic, increase your noble's skill in combat, and increase the clan mood. Even if victorious, you champion may be wounded.
Notes[]
The text of this event differs somewhat if you have already encountered the Ergeshites.
