Supplying Bite and Treason (dealing with the Druj)		Following a lengthy undercover operation Lukash was arrested for dealing bite. When he was arrested a large amount of extremely incriminating correspondence between Lukash and the Vyig was found on his person. Lukash admitted being the leader of a group dealing bite. During the operation he had been witnessed leading this group and arranging for the purchase of bite. The correspondence showed that he was in League with both the Vyig and the Druj, and that the Vyig were using Drusila's Obelus as part of this arrangement. Lukash claimed that he was in fact working undercover for the militia all along. He claimed his handler was Victor, a former Head of Intelligence. However, Victor died many years ago and when challenged, Lukash admitted that he had not attempted to make contact with the militia during the intervening years.		Lukash Biessek von Temeschwar plead guilty to both charges. Clemency was plead by Father Dracov on the grounds of Courage.		Guilty. Executed.
Possession of Bite		Nico was witnessed in possession of one dose of bite, given to him by Lukash.		Nico von Temeschwar of the Crimson Reapers plead guilty with no clemency		Guilty Fined one throne
Dealing of Bite		A Cambion was selling bite in the Golden Goat in the League. The militia therefore followed up on this undercover. They purchased bite from the Cambion Aloysius di Sarvos of the league. The suspect revealed their supplier and returned with them for trial.		Aloysius di Sarvos and Julie, (last name not recorded, believed to be the sister of Patches). A clemency plea was made on the grounds of vigilance.		Both were found guilty and each were fined two thrones.
Contempt of Court		The Archmage refused to hand over a Crown of Agramant when ordered to do so. The crown is under interdiction due to the enmity of its maker. The basis of the clemency plea was that the crown was given during a parley with Wise Rangara and previously Rangara had blighted the Marches for spurning a gift, so voluntarily handing it over would risk similar consequences. The crown was removed from the Archmage and destroyed.		Ematius of the Library of Ankarion, Archmage of Winter plead guilty with clemency plead by Martin Orchard on the grounds of vigilance		Guilty. Fined one throne
Idolatry		Silas of the Cenotaph raised a condemnation for idolatry against the accused and presented the case for prosecution. The accused, a vate, went on a conjunction to provide advice regarding Heralds. There was a Herald of Tharim who was holding a number of Marchers. Their release was secured but the life of the Herald was in jeopardy and the accused interceded in order to allow the Herald to leave. In doing so the accused offered their soul to the Herald. This was refused by the Herald, but they said they would accept their service instead.		Morwenna Withered Rose plead guilty with clemency plead by Brynn Tendfallen on the grounds of loyalty.		Guilty. Sentenced to a year long curse of the Freezing Brand of Irremais
