Clean Blade Duel

The Clean Blade Duel is introduced in Jade City as a highly ritualized form of Green Bone combat that enforces clan honor through ceremonial protocols. Its structured elements—blade salute, ritual wiping, and post-duel jade collection—reflect the rigid traditions of Kekon’s jade-wielding society. Though primarily defined in the first book, the practice serves as a recurring symbol of the old ways amid rising modernization and clan conflicts across the series.
