Letter from Count Everest

The purpose of the tribunal is not to determine guilt or innocence. He has admitted to his crimes and has expressed no regret towards the death of the innocent in the war. Thousands of families require a measure of closure for assisting in their grief. There are two primary purposes to this hearing. First is to get as many answers out of him as is possible to act as a public record of his admittance prior to his death. The second is to act as witnesses to testify to the families of the deceased that justice for the death of their loved ones has been served.

No one will need to speak on his behalf, he is perfectly capable of speaking for himself. Some of you will be allowed to speak with him prior and convince him to do the right thing during the final moments of his life. Those who wish to do this may contact me personally for permission.

No one is required to be present unless they desire to be so. It will take place several hours prior to the feast itself and we will gather outside the town hall to travel to the catacombs.

Your Grace,
I would request to speak with the Duke Balliol. Perhaps there is still hope for his repentance before the final retributive justice is delivered. If he does produce information in a final spiritual confession, I would not be able to divulge it. However in doing so he may be convinced to do the right and just thing before his end on Arawyn.

Yours in the Light,
