A wave of the Cluster Custodian's hand swept the guests aside like leaves scattered by a sudden gust.
All of them were placed on marble white seats arranged in a cavea.
Rex and the others were also swept away, leaving only High Lord Rashal and High Lord Ursa standing face to face with the Cluster Custodian between them. Not a single soul among them had lived through the ancient days when the Purgation Duel was still common.

It also includes High Lord Rashal, who made use of the law.
Only the Cluster Custodian, who was older than anyone but the Overseer, knew how this worked.
Since the law was created to settle blood-bound disputes, the process is usually private, with only a few witnesses to see what actually happened. And there are no records of how many times this law was used in the past, likely due to not wanting to disgrace the losing side.
And this mystery made the tension within this white void space even higher.
