  • The challenge was made from one member to another by unsheathing a coutari - the traditional Centauri blade used by the Couro Prido - and driving it into a solid object between the duelists. The challenged duelist accepted the challenge by taking the coutari from its place and bringing it to the duel. In a duel, the two combatants met each other in their ordinary clothes - sans jacket - only adding a quilted, decorated vest and gloves to provide protection from glancing blows and slashes. The two met face-to-face on a round section of carpet that served as the dueling ring; both combatants had to stay within that area. This allowed by-standers to stand nearby and watch the duel commence. The combatants unsheathed their coutari, faced each other, saluted with their swords, and bowed. After that, the duel commenced and only ended when one of the combatants were dead. They could go directly for killing blows or else wear down the opponent by a number of shallow strikes intended to bleed and wound. The laws of the Couro Prido were established to maintain the strength of the Centauri noble houses. Upon striking the killing blow, the victor accepted the loser's family into his house.
