KAGGATH
Humiliation and Death.
An ancient Sith ritual of high danger and high reward, a kaggath is a contest of power and intelligence. Kaggaths are scored using marks; the winner of each event receives one mark, and the Kaggath is won by the side with the most marks. In the event of a 2-2 tie, the Kaggath’s host shall choose the final showdown.
Rank Kaggath
Kaggaths heighten power in the Sith and prove once and for all that your Powerbase is superior. Rank Kaggaths are a challenge to a Sith’s authority, and with such comes a chance of the Challenger swapping ranks with the Challenged should they prove victorious. Rank Kaggaths may only be declared within your respective sphere.
Humiliation Kaggath
Kaggaths are only used to resolve conflicts between Sith. Your group's reputation and your rank as an individual are unaffected by Humiliation Kaggaths. Unlike Rank Kaggaths, Humiliation Kaggaths can be declared across spheres.
