Thumbs up Hey, sounds interesting...

In a battle environment involving cliffs, no Steward is allowed to jump off a cliff, unless under one of these conditions:
A. The Steward is on fire,
B. a King is present on the battlefield, superior to the Steward, AND the King is looking in the direction of the Steward, OR the King is not looking in the direction of the Steward AND the leader of the opposite army is not looking in that direction either, OR the leader of the opposite army is looking in the direction of the Steward AND the King is looking in the opposite direction than the leader of the opposite army, i.e. in the opposite direction than where the Steward is; unless the King and the leader of the opposite army are in opposite directions so that the placement of their units in the field allows them both to look at the same place but not in the same direction at the same time,
C. the Steward is running.

The conditions A and B may apply at the same time, or the conditions B and C may apply at the same time, but the conditions A and C may not apply at the same time, i.e. either just one of them may apply OR one of them AND the condition B may apply; the conditions A, B, and C may not apply at the same time.

Violation of the rule is punished by dragging the Steward onto a nearest cliff and burning him alive without allowing him to jump off the cliff or run. The punishment is applied collectively by the leaders of all the battling armies. If the Steward is one of these leaders, the person next in command after him applies the punishment.

The #2017 addition to the rule:
If either condition A or C are fulfilled, the Steward may NOT be dead by the time of jumping. At least ten witnesses from at least two sides of the battle (i.e. at least five from each) need to verify that the Steward was alive by the time of jumping, in other case, the Steward will be punished according to the rule.
