A minor quarrel escalates into a duel. A death creates a debt of honor. The demands of honor outweigh the demands of justice, and force friends to spill each other's blood. And the need for victory requires the sacrifice of honor.
One simple argument spawns death, madness, and a final confrontation that will leave the sandy soil soaked with blood.
