Duel for the Red Belt

The Duel for the Red Belt was a short battle that took place between Spein, Harbinger of the Scots and Supreme Ambassador for the League on Earth, and his personal bodyguard and favourite housecarl Æthelhelm, or Consolo Commando, Commander of the Console and Æthel of the Official Pseudo-Socialist Union of Workers for the Papal State (OPSUWPS).

The Duel was over a red belt that had been enchanted as to keep Spein from going berserk.

All that is known about the battle is that Spein suddenly flew into a rage at Consolo and charged at him, caber drawn. Consolo retaliated by a swing of his sæx (coupled with the console command dismemberment.prob.set.1000) which sliced through Spein's caber, cutting it clean in half. Spein drew his claymore in rage and swung down at consolo, who dodged (coupled with the console command set.player.speed.999999) and then used the command (player.additem.smokegrenade) and blinded Spein in a smoke attack.

Knowing he had the upper hand, Consolo struck at Spein (coupled with the command player.setmeleedamage.10000) but Spein was able to block with his claymore and the remains of his caber. Locked in stalemate, Consolo attempted to enter the command entityIDSpein.removeclaymore when Spein broke their blade lock and stabbed Consolo with his caber, the broken shards of wood impaling Consolo and knocking him backward.

Laughing to himself, Spein claimed the red belt which he then put on, and was so distracted that he failed to notice Consolo enter the command entityIDSpein.setallegiance.PapalState, which reverted Spein back to Consolo's team. This negated the Duel as both sides agreed to end the conflict, and Spein used his Woad Medicine to heal Consolo's injuries.

Consolo's claim was that the red belt controls Spein's emotions, so it is theorised that the loss of the belt is what threw Spein into a rage. Some say that the belt was later destroyed, however, there are rumours that it currently resides in the Museum of Unnatural History on Inon II, locked away for all eternity. The belt is presumably still worn by Spein, unless the enchantment has been transferred elsewhere.
