Laraak Vendetta

Laraak Vendetta was the enactment of a formal feud or vendetta in a manner that complied with the laws of the Sarratum of Great Houses. It often resulted in an official war of attrition between two opponents, usually Great Houses or families within the Imperial Hegemony of Great Houses.

The act of Laraak Vendetta was originally created as a way of allowing bitter disputes to be resolved in a regulated manor without any harm being brought upon innocent bystanders or substantial collateral damage to occur. It was similar in many ways to the ancient duels made on Earth, although it usually had much broader ramifications. This animosity often continued from father to son, until the last child was dead or the two families made peace.
