Grandmaster Jeffeth Bayweather, Princess Arianna Pravus

While I agree that bringing House Thornweave into this is of poor taste, your words were also of poor taste Princess Arianna. Even if you are from Setarco, even if everyone piles on the Lyceum for their murderous deals, we have a healthy respect for the dead that you seem to lack. Though you also seem to lack a healthy respect for honor.
Grandmaster Bayweather, might I impose upon you to drop the duel. A duel should accomplish the redress of a grievance and impart knowledge on the rest of the compact. A duel, by its nature, is a statement. I understand your statement here is that Sister Juniper remains above reproach. However, your target seems to lack the basic faculties necessary to understand this message. If the duel only stands to act as a redress of a grievance, there are other ways to accomplish this.
Additionally, should you lose this duel, think about the message that leaves. Are you sure a duel is the best way to defend the honor of Sister Juniper? Sister Juniper has only the acts performed in her name and the miracles called down by her faith. You stand to add an act performed under her name that could either cement her importantce to our world or crumble the foundation her memory lays upon.
It is, ultimately, your decision. However, I ask you to consider, deeply, whether a duel is the correct vehicle by which to protect Sister Juniper's godly name.
