King's Boon
An ancient Alethi tradition by which the king, having been pleased by a public feat of arms or spectacle, grants the man responsible any single favour within his power. Once tied to the historical crown and now rarely invoked, it pairs naturally with the Right of Challenge. SA:WoR:Ch 55
Relations
- relatedRight of Challenge — Shallan's plan threads the two arena customs together: a successful duelist may name any boon of the king, and a wronged highlord may invoke the right-of-challenge — a duel to the death — against another highlord. SA:WoR:Ch 55
