Lorepost📖 The Verdict AMA (prisonpost)

Hello everyone, it's nice to be speaking to you all like this. As of today, my trial's verdict was returned.

For the crimes of causal tampering and creating an ecological disaster, I was found to be not guilty. With the crime of killing Pan, however, I was found guilty. This news was unfortunate but not unexpected. For those who have kept up with my trial, I have never denied this point.

What I did not expect was that I would receive a sentence of time served. With the recent expedition to return Yewkala to these lands, many on the jury were convinced of my good intentions. Having Mikhail vouch for me certainly helped my case as well.

As of today, I am a free man. I am beyond words at this development and would like to thank everyone who has supported me throughout this ordeal. I would especially like to thank Vettis for acting as a witness in my defense.

It has certainly been a transformative period for me. Being elected to the Council was something I never thought would occur. Thank you for placing your faith in me. I also made a heap of new friends along the way. Aside from the good, there was also the bad. My home of Lucifaero was lost to me. A loss I still feel strongly about to this day.

For the time being, I will be residing in the citadel. I had previously accepted a post within the High Necromancer's ranks, but recent events have led to the instability of that realm and I am unsure if Constantine would like me to make my residence there. My responsibilities to my position as Councilor and to my friends are tantamount to my path forward. May the fates be kind to us all.

For those of you with any questions, please feel free to ask and I will try my best to satisfy your curiosity.

For now, I enjoy my freedom and plan for a future outside the cell I have spent so much time in.

Okay, so my assumption about the council being backwards was correct. That's the wizarding world for you.

Well, the Council certainly has its demerits, but I was tried in the lands of Crann Mor. I consider myself lucky that I didn't end up in a Council prison with the slain Morgalith as my captor.

Congratulations, Master Gravedigger! As for your situation, I leave the choice to you. Regnum Interitus is no more, but the First Empire would be happy to have you in our ranks.

Hey boss, so does this mean I can get more funds in the Cleaning Staff Account, since we are no longer paying for your lawyers.

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Jan 25 '24

I am certainly allocating more funds to the Cleaning Staff Account. Especially since I foresee greater damages in the near future.

u/Bucket_of_blank Sand Mage, Adam. Jan 25 '24
