	\| Treason \|\| The accused approached the proxy for the Grandmaster of the Unfettered Mind and requested a casting of the Spring ritual Merciless Wrath of the Reaver, with the Boon of Siakha. This was an offer made by the Maelstrom to grant additional effects to the ritual; however, the Empress of Sharks was under enmity and so the taking-up of such a boon would be treasonous. The accused returned the following day to make the request again, at which time the proxy Grandmaster was accompanied by two militia officers posing as coven members. Once the accused had paid over the mana crystals and tempest jade required for the ritual, he was arrested. He pled guilty, and under questioning at trial established that he had made no effort whatsoever to seek a legal route to perform the ritual; it was also established that he made no effort to seek alternate paths to Prosperity for himself or his military unit. He had clear advance warning from the Civil Service about the illegal nature of the ritual. Between this and his returning on the second day for the ritual, he had clear intent. As a result, he was sentenced to execution. \|\| Whisper pleaded guilty .\|\| Guilty. <br>Death by execution. \|\| A clemency plea was made by Rhisiart Dancewalker on grounds of Prosperity.		\| Treason \|\| The accused approached the proxy for the Grandmaster of the Unfettered Mind and requested a casting of the Spring ritual Merciless Wrath of the Reaver, with the Boon of Siakha.

	\| Murder \|\| The accused were all involved in planning and organising a series of murders of Grendel rivals and subordinates of (then) Salt Lord ~~Kalliact~~ which took place in Spiral in Autumn and Winter 384YE. The purpose of these murders was to clear the way for ~~Kalliact~~ to make a treaty with the Senate for Spiral to rejoin the Empire. ~~Kalliact~~ was the originator of the plan, Lachlan presented the plan to the Imperial conspirators. The imperials all helped to plan or coordinate the two missions, with Andronikos also being present on the missions.<br> At trial the accused all argued that their actions, while illegal, were strongly in the Imperial interest and that it had resulted in the return of Spiral to the Empire. As a matter of law magistrates are required to take into account the Imperial interest as a factor in sentencing and accepted that the Imperial interest had been served in this case. It is to be noted that the leadership of the missions themselves, by Hector of Tropaion Citadel, were subject to significantly more judicial criticism due to the way in which they were actually carried out. \|\| Merchant Prince ~~Kalliact~~, Lachlan Apulian, Imperial Consul Jarrigk, Warmage Andronikos of the Lighthouse at Nikephoros, and Spyridonakes of the Lighthouse at Nikephoros all pleaded guilty \|\| Guilty. <br>They were collectively fined 30 thrones. \|\| A clemency plea was made by Rafael Barossa using the Imperial favour to claim the mercy of the Empress on behalf of Jarrigk, Andronikos and Spyridonakes on the grounds of Ambition.<br>A clemency plea was made by Estella Lucati for ~~Kalliact~~ on the grounds of Ambition.<br>A clemency plea was made by Lepidina for Lachlan on grounds of Prosperity.		\| Murder \|\| The accused were all involved in planning and organising a series of murders of Grendel rivals and subordinates of (then) Salt Lord Kaliact which took place in Spiral in Autumn and Winter 384YE.

	\| Mass murder \|\| The accused organised two missions through the Sentinel Gate to murder a total of thirty five foreigners (Grendel).

He then organised a second mission to kill a rival of Salt Lord ~~Kalliact~~ and their associates. They did so, executing them all, including some unknown humans who attempted to run.
