From The Travels and Adventures of Count Gustof Von Munchausin.
"On the Subject of Kanly Kanly or as it is written in the first tongue Kan Lei is the long standing rules of engagement for vendetta. The first tribes that formed what would become the first kingdom of The Burning Lands were particularly vindictive and clannish. The combination of these two dominating spirits led to many intercompany and interhoushold fights. The founding of a kingdom in that harsh land would have been impossible without the establishment of a way to resolve vendettas and familial intergenerational slights. A man known only as Kahn Lei proposed a form of household to household combat that would be left between the combatants with no royal intervention. This rule of royally recognized blood fueds has been a part of the foundation of every kingdom and empire that has come in the wake of the first kingdom of men of Amtgardia."
