K'Hare nodded. "Yes, what you saw in my quarters was the resolution of a House War. In this case however, it started as one House splitting. K'rahl, insulted by the dishonorable acts of his grandfather seperated from the House and many followed him. K'Trol did not accept it. He could have. He could have let it end there and both Houses would exist without any death, though probably some strong feelings, positive and negative on both sides. Instead, K'Trol rejected K'rahl's succession and his claim to some of the House assets and forcefully tried to stop him. K'rahl could have chossen to just walk away from the House with nothing. In this particular case there was little time between the seperation and the breakout of hostilities. That happens often enough as no House can have two masters." He took a long drink. "But K'rahl was honor bound to reveal K'Trol's treachery. If it had been just K'Trol and a few others no doubt K'rahl would have simply challenged him within the House walls. It could have ended with just a few deaths but I suppose K'rahl was unsure how deep the dishonor nested in his House. Seperating as he did allowed member to choose sides and surely allowed more information to those K'rahl trusted. Most of this is speculation on my part. Most is House business and should not be repeated. The dishonor was paid for in much blood. But that changed in my room. K'Trol was able to redeem himself somewhat by accepting the challenge. He accepted the fate of his House just as K'rahl accepted the weight of making the charges. He K'Trol won, few would speak of the past. Enough blood had been spilled." He took a quick drink. "It is a complex situation. But it was resolved. K'Trol is dead, his closest allies in the House are now dead. The House now falls under K'rahl's rule. He is responsible and must answer for the House now. Any involvement of members of the House in the old business will be forgotten as long as they accept K'rahl's reign. That is the Klingon way."
