The Lash

 is a random event where a hero is given a chance to participate in a twelve-year tournament.

Outcome summary
Technically, there are twelve different outcomes named "Lashed." The only thing that distinguishes the first eleven is how long each takes and how the hero dies.

Note that the outcome of sending the hero to compete is only randomly selected if the hero's remaining lifespan is long enough to complete the tournament. Otherwise, which "Lashed" death outcome the hero gets is determined by the year of the tournament during which the hero would die naturally.

It is worth noting that any relic equipped by the hero will be lost if they fall in the tournament.

Start
The hero is randomly selected from those in your retinue that do not already have the Lash Lord status.
