A chal'han, or the Great Game, is a ritualistic duel. The challenger seeks to display symbolic power over the challenged's Physical and Spiritual being, the challenged's Past, Present and Future, and the people that the challenged Loves and Hates. By controlling all seven aspects, the challenger demonstrates that he could completely destroy the challenged. The challenger and challenged must act through intermediaries, who cannot be aware of the duel. There are two versions, chal'han che, in which the challenged is physically unharmed, but has his honor and reputation destroyed, and chal'han se, resulting in the death. The challenged usually does not know which version is being used.
