The Articles of Kanly define the sanctioned methods for adjudicated vendettas among the Regis and Na-Familia. The Articles support three different legal forms for settling such disputes—Kanly Negotiation, Formal Duels, and the War of Assassins.
Kanly Negotiation remains the preferred settlement method, including options such as marriage, ransom, political hostages, and financial or legal remuneration; such negotiations result in a peaceful resolution to a dispute.
On the other hand, Formal Duels and Wars of Assassins, though rare in the modern Imperium, still receive occasional Imperial sanction. A Formal Duel involves personal combat between two members of a House, often resulting in the death of one participant. The War of Assassins consists of organized efforts over time to eliminate all members of a specific House, adhering to established codes and conventions.
