Honourable Legate Marcellus Seanus,

Here is brief summary, of the court cases this week:

Sephidra Niridhe's Court cases

1

Accused: Rur Aksa
Victim: Sedhanna
Prosecutor: Anvari Lawcleaver
Civil Defence: Zain al-Saiba
Overseeing Judge: Magistrate Sephidra Niridhe
Date: Subat 3, IY 7787
Charges: Murder

Verdict: Three days of Conscription to the fourth legion

Reasoning: The victim was a necromancer who attacked the accused in the gutters. The accused defended himself in self-defense. But as a paladin of the headsman oath, he was forced to take the life of the necromancer he subdued. The accused was found guilty because this was a case of vigilantism. The necromancer did not need to die, and was supposed to be brought to the Garrison for the courts to prosecute. The reduced punishment is to accommodate for circumstances; He would have been innocent if he had killed, and not knocked out the necromancer in the din of battle.

2

Accused: Amadeus Bucket
Victim: Bashir Khatara
Prosecutor: Riordan Wulf
Civil Defence: Ariel Hysair
Overseeing Judge: Magistrate Sephidra Niridhe
Date: Subat 4, IY 7787
Charges: Assault, Unlawful Resistance

Verdict: 400 gold fine, tasked with removing the poop from the stockade.

Reasoning: The victim was struck with a flame bolt, causing superficial damage. A disabling spell was fired, but blocked by a ward. The victim bellowed that he would turn himself in, but just used that opportunity to throw a turd at the Jannissary. Was later captured in the Gutters. The accused showed little remorse, but the acts were more that of a prankster than anything that appeared nefarious. Punished as such.

3

Accused: Rogro Teathert
Victims: Don Souk and Riccardo Corvo
Prosecutor: Jannissary Arnock Reyer
Civil Defence: Ariel Hysair
Overseeing Judge: Magistrate Sephidra Niridhe
Date: Subat 7, IY 7787
Charges: Brooking, 3x Assault, Theft

Inventory of Evidence:
6 written Testimonies
2 Pieces of Gore found on the person of the accused

Testimonies:
Don Souk
Riccardo Corco
Nadiri Ashley Scherwin

Verdict: Exile

Reasoning: The accused admitted to the crimes early on in the trial. Denying none of the claims of the Jannissaries. He showed contrition and asked for Mercy. The Jannissaries explained that they only had evidence that he had used his brooked powers to subdue and steal money from the victims. He did not maim or kill. As such I opted to give him a chance with exile, rather than immediately deal a death sentence, even though most exile is just that all the same.

4

Accused: Radik Kozlo
Prosecutor: N/a
Civil Defence: N/a
Overseeing Judge: Magistrate Sephidra Niridhe, Magistrate Aaisha Al-Samar, Prelate Nasreen Shabani
Date: Subat 15, IY 7787
Charges: Brooking

Inventory of Evidence:
Ashfolk Skull, found in the pack of the accused
Intestines, found in the pack of the accused
Two Written Testimonies

Testimonies:
Apothar Mevura Cosine
Sergeant Andvari Lawcleaver
Jannissary Atreya Lightdew

Verdict: Exile

Reasoning: The accused had originally been captured by Sergeant Lawcleaver and Jannissary Atreya Lightdew. And was scheduled to attend the courtroom for murder and brooking. But escaped mere moments before the trial due to Djinn trickery. For leading a small force of Djinn against the defenders of Ephia's Well however, We decided exile in a closed room, absentia trial was sufficient to allow janissaries to act and circumvent further jailcell failures. We conducted the trial with the power of two attending magistrates and a prelate temporarily mandated by the legate to take his place, to strengthen a judgment that would ideally be made in the Hall of Jurisprudence.

5

Accused: Sagelin Levindiel
Victim: Unidentified corpse
Prosecutor: Tressa Lucchese
Civil Defence: Narwen Alendiel
Overseeing Judge: Magistrate Sephidra Niridhe
Date: 24 th of Illul 7788
Charges: Desecration, Serious

Verdict: 650 gold fine

Reasoning: Sagelin had been asked Ytti to find 'Bruce Danebluff'. So she ran out into the desert and brought back a pile of unidentifiable humanoid meat. She indicated it was meat she had found on the desert floor, twenty minutes south of the city. She was not gone long enough to make the trek to Arslan. And there was too much meat left to genuinely be Bruce. She was punished for not bringing the humanoid meat to the graveyard, and instead bringing it to Ytti in the square. Some leniency was given because as a child, she does not seem to fully understand what she did.
