The rules stated that anyone could challenge the ruler, but that they also had to have a sufficiently large following to do so. They could use any weapon they chose. The battle would take place in two stages. The first would be the stage of physical combat, and the second would be a stage of magical combat. The challenger could, if they wanted to, bring exactly ONE person along, and that person would fight in only one round, and not the second. For example, she could fight in the physical, but someone else would have to fight the magical battle. If they failed, she would have to take their place.
