To all who read these precepts, the following transcript of this trial is true and correct, to the best of my knowledge.
Clera, reporting.

[Bellafae] This court is now in session, The Honourable Judge Haengemie presiding.
[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Malkor] Thanks for coming.
[Malkor] I apologize for dragging you all back to court, but I haven't been able to visit Constance in a while,
[Malkor] so I thought I'd seize the opportunity.
[Malkor] I'm sure most of you know that Lilit leads undine into anyone who ventures into the undine hut.
[Malkor] Well, I've had to depart multiple multiple times due to her malicious acts, so I've decided to bring her to trial for her crimes.
[Malkor] Now, she may claim to somehow be their "mother," but I've witnessed her kill them for fun, so she can't hide behidnd that defense!
[Malkor] behind that defense!
[Malkor] Also, in the past people have voiced concerns over freedom of religion...
[Malkor] Freedom of religion is one thing... but, killing others in the name of religion is unacceptable.
[Malkor] Following that logic, the Darshak are perfectly justified in their raids on our town,
[Malkor] as they are only obeying their religious leaders.
[Malkor] Please, stop her reign of terror and lock her up for a long, long time!
[Malkor] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Malkor
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Lilit] Malkors departs are why we are here.
[Lilit] He comes to my rites with intent of disrupting them.
[Lilit] He has no need to come to the sanctuary.
[Lilit] But since we first crossed pathes, he has made it clear he is out for revenge...
[Lilit] He comes back each time, and each time he falls to his own error.
[Lilit] The matter of my intent has been made clear before, you know I wish no harm to anyone.
[Lilit] I call a witness to this
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Lilit] Witness: soulmaster
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] Soulmaster, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Soulmaster. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Soulmaster, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Soulmaster] Lilit has done nothing wrong, and she is not "conspiring" with Undine.
[Soulmaster] EVERYONE has a right to practice their religeon, without interuption, as long as it does not hurt others.....
[Soulmaster] Lilit has been tried on numerous occasions of leading Undine out of their cave
[Soulmaster] i have not seen her do this anytime lately
[Soulmaster] once i took her to trial for it
[Soulmaster] i won in fact
[Soulmaster] she has been already punished for ANY wrong doing she has done
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Soulmaster] Lilit is not out to harm anyone
[Soulmaster] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Soulmaster
[Haengemie] Malkor, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Malkor] As Soulmaster says.
[Malkor] Everyone has a right to practice their religeon, without interuption, as long _as it does not hurt others....._
[Malkor] _as it does not hurt others....._
[Malkor] I don't claim to be a master of evasive techniques...
[Malkor] but when trying to rescue fallen healers by leading undine around....
[Malkor] Lilit constantly tries to lure them towards the healers
[Malkor] Telling us to leave her sanctuary...
[Malkor] Noble warriors who seek to free undine from their horrible lifeless existence...
[Malkor] should not be punished for their deeds...
[Malkor] Obviously, her prior punishments were not severe enoguh
[Malkor] Put her in the prison long enough for her to rethink her actions.
[Malkor] Malkor sighs.
[Malkor] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Malkor
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Lilit] I may be overzealous in the defense of my children, and my sanctuary...
[Lilit] ...but it is exiles that come to me, not I to them...
[Lilit] The risks are clear to those who enter the cavern.
[Lilit] Whether I am there, or not.
[Lilit] Malkor wishes not to accept personal responsibility for his failures, and blame me.
[Lilit] Malkor wishes not to accept personal responsibility for his failures, and blame me.
[Lilit] Malkor wishes not to accept personal responsibility for his failures, and blame me.
[Lilit] I hope you decide for freedom of faith, and not these witch hunts.
[Lilit] Lilit smiles graciously.
[Lilit] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Lilit this court finds you innocent. You are free to go.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.
