The right of blood is an old Karinian principle which entitles a claimant to challenge an inheritance.
The practice
The right of blood could be called on at Karinian funeral ceremonies, which traditionally took place three days after the deceased's death, to challenge the deceased's inheritance. It could only be called on by a relative of the deceased, how close they had to be related varied from drike to drike. The inheritor could either recognise the claim, forfeiting the inheritance or could engage in a dual. The dual was either to the death or until one side admitted defeat. The winner of the dual inherited the property or title in question.
In modern times
The usage of the right of blood has declined over the years, with it mostly still being used in a few Kadrikes and only for inheritance of the leadership of the Kadrikes.
Notable uses
Temur Bokok against Bark Dar
On 7-10 1471 TT, during the Marauder Crisis, the Komur Feyak under the leadership of Temur Dar surrounded the Tumak Ordok. Temur confronted Living King and Leader of the Dar, Bark Dar in the Tumak Ordok and challenged him for his leadership of the Dar under the right of blood on the grounds that Temur was married to one of Bark's granddaughters. As the challenge was not made at a funeral Bark was not bound by tradition to accept it and the Dar would not have considered a marriage to a granddaughter to be closely related enough to challenge. However, the vast army surrounding the ordok compelled him to accept the challenge. Temur easily defeated and killed the elderly Bark and declared himself Leader of the Dar as Temur Bokok and Dar.
