Danse Macabre, the Dance of Death the name of a famous ritualistic fighting dance between two elven warriors that always ends in the death of one of the competitors (or both of them in rare cases).
For this dance, both competitors wear silver "semiarmors", which is meant to be used as a small buckler, they also wear gold & silver-colored ceremonial clothes and use small golden daggers. The ritual consists on a dance that may last for minutes, hours or even days, once one of the two warriors let his/her guard down, the other attack, and it all ends in a moment.
