I am also unable to figure what it is that sets dart competitions
apart from inter-house or inter-clan warfare. I think that in
Carmania they are required to wear bells and bright colors, but that
doesn't explain how, for instance, you could destroy an entire noble
house without actually attacking them at home. Otherwise how would
you kill the non-combatant members like the house leader and his or
her advisor? I have heard distant tales of a description of dart wars
that was found in a copy of wyrms footnotes sometime, but never having
seen such magazine I remain unenlightened. And I remember a curiously
unenlightening sidebar in one issue of TotRM, but knowing that Harrek
was a dart warrior doesn't actually help much. Perhaps a few more
anecdotes about dart wars would help lift the fog.
Oh you jealous loremasters, please part the curtain of my ignorance
and let me know how the dart wars work.
