>>> First, a faithful summary of the full trial. The limelit event itself is below it for interested parties.
<SCHOLAR> Serra: The Trial of Kali Windbreeze - Court Report (part 1) To: Consortium The Trial of Kali Windbreeze occurred on the 8th Renewal of the Celestial of Retribution.
Present at the trial included: Judge: Valindra Skitterwit (part 1) Judge: Lord Davairus (part 2) Plaintiff: Lord Solmundi Defense attorney: Duchess Ilromie Illistarre Defendant: Kali Windbreeze Jury: Cunnadd Wallstomper Jury: High Warlord Shaghroth Jury: Lunaia Jury: Lore Keeper Villidan Observer and Witness: Doyen Wylsin Plindane Observer: Gerok Observer: Dame Leitha Dondeleon Observer: Lord Dogran Observer: Lord Olyn Observer: Lord Kedaleam Observer: Tonke Observer: Tepyr Observer and Court Recorder: Doyenne Serra
A spectacle for the ages, and not one we will likely forget... for unexpected reasons. It boded oddly at the very start as the goblin Judge Skitterwit asked for last minute bribes, to which the Duchess proffered two decades-old fish from the bottom of her sack, a tempting offering for none. While absent, the Collector of Secrets offered muffins from a giggling shrubbery. As participants began to arrive and mill about aimlessly around the Traveller's Rest, the Judge and other members of the Consortium gathered in the People's Court to prepare. Apparently at the last moment before the trial, Doyen Wylsin recused himself from the jury, leaving the jury box with four.
The trial proceeded with the banging of a gavel and the announcement by a tiny wisp named Hibbadibbity. As Lord Solmundi and Duchess Ilromie took their seats, the crowd hushed expectantly. Solmundi opened the trial by listing three charges against the defendant Kali Windbreeze, calling him a fraud, one who attacked those who held light dear to their hearts, and a menace to society. Ilromie opened, strangely, by forgiving Solmundi for being a poor horse trainer. Here Jury member Shaghroth nearly asphyxiated the entire house of attendance with an epic release of gas only relieved by a sea breeze conjured by Lord Olyn. Kali then spoke, to which Dogran and Solmundi made snide remarks.
Solmundi's opening statement began by proudly announcing himself as an agent designed to rid the world of chaos, and pointed at both defendant and counsel as causal agents of chaos. He then claimed Kali was a fraud, for having no family members attending the trial in support, and that he had attacked innocents and invaded the halls of Justice which Solmundi claimed was a death sentence. He closed by saying the Duchess (whom he refused to acknowledge by title - Objection!) was a criminal who manufactured her words to misinform those present.
Ilromie's opening statement simply refuted the prosecutor's claim that an absence of family members was a strike against Kali's character, called Lord Solmundi's accusations a pure sham and he a tyrant. (Objection!)
Solmundi then began to present his evidence. The first evidence, again, was the absence of another Windbreeze in attendance. (Objection!) He then attempted to turn the discussion to houses of elves before Lord Davairus intervened to steer the trial back on course with a request to hear the defendant's plea. Of course, Kali pled innocent. Moreover, he nearly launched into an epic monologue of the history of his ancestors before (Objection!) he was asked to sit down.
Solmundi then continued with more evidence by calling himself to the stand as a witness to Kali offending his own gods for attacking Solmundi personally, invading the halls of Justice and intending to kill Solmundi in cold blood. Here the Sinister Minister Dogran attempted to offer his services as cross- examiner but was refused by Valindra and the defense. Ilromie then started to ask Solmundi pointed questions, accusing him of lying about being attacked by Kali's illusions, and then talking about an entirely separate incident at an Executioner. I felt sympathy for the jury at this, none of whom knew what she was referring to. Again, Lord Davairus interjected, saying nothing was making sense, but they continued impervious. Solmundi said Kali had infected his mind and many others.
Ilromie repeated that the illusions did not attack Solmundi and that he was never in danger, moreover that his grounds were not in fact a death sentence, which appealed to the more criminally-inclined in the audience. Solmundi maintained that Kali had nearly killed him and that he was the "second most malicious person I know", to which Dogran asked with great interest, "Who's the first?" - perhaps a rivalry in the heavens? The judge was amorously distracted by Dogran's pasty bald complexion before Ilromie began again with her story of an encounter at the Executioner (Objection! Relevance?) and Valindra, intrigued by gossip, allowed her continue to describe being attacked herself by Solmundi there (Objections! from Dogran, in the audience, as well as Solmundi). Here, interrupting proceedings, Dogran attempted to direct the court and Valindra wrested it back again a bit weakly. Solmundi offered to take the stand he was already standing on. Jury Lunaia started staring at the ceiling and coughing. Everyone in attendance started staring awkwardly in different directions hoping something would begin to make sense. I made pancakes.
Solmundi claimed Ilromie was infected by an evil spirit by Kali and that her goal was to demolish Justice entirely, which was why he had attacked her. (Objection!) And THEY had lengthy criminal records and THEY had attacked him many times and THEY attacked him personally and everything he stood for...
Ilromie was then given the opportunity to call witnesses, and she asked Wylsin to the stand. (Objection!) Villidan leaned over to tell me he ran out of nuts. I began making pancakes for the slowly starving audience. Wylsin recounted a long story about collecting dragon heads and chastising Solmundi for sacrificing their treasures (Objection!) and then following Ilromie to fine her for wearing a chaotic weapon (OBJECTION!!) -- Here Solmundi again derailed proceedings claiming he could not pick up a chaotic weapon. We all lost the plot. Wylsin and I speculated that perhaps sometimes Solmundi had heard the word "Duchess" and believed it referred to himself. Trying to correct Solmundi, Wylsin suggested Solmundi abdicate his role (Objection!) and Solmundi attempted to get Wylsin thrown out of the court. Desperately, Lord Davairus tried to turn the discussion back to Kali, who was sitting forlornly and forgotten in his chair.
[Continued in part 2]
<SCHOLAR> Serra: The Trial of Kali Windbreeze - Court Report (part 2) To: Consortium Valindra then tried to shoo all the jury members out to make a decision, when none of them still had any idea what was happening and Wylsin had not finished his statement. Lunaia chimed in (literally) that she needed more information. And so, with heavy sighs, we all sat down again. Lunaia suddenly started lambasting Solmundi for bringing chaos himself to the proceedings through tangents and disrespect. Wylsin and Solmundi began a shouting match about horses. Sensing that the herd of cats in the court were now completely out of her control, the Judge said "Whoops!" And disappeared.
In the void of her absence, Wylsin claimed a mistrial. Solmundi claimed Kali guilty, and then attempted to have Lunaia thrown out of court. Wylsin wrung his hands looking for a judge, to which Dogran pointed to Lord Davairus, the greatest judge of all... Gerok excitedly suggested trial by combat, to which Dogran offered to have Ilromie and Shaghroth duel to the death.
Lord Davairus then took control at last, directing all parties to ask Kali questions to clarify his version of events and related matters, which should have happened hours prior. Wylsin attempted to continue his story and was smited off his seat by Davairus. At last, Ilromie began to ask Kali the questions we had all woefully been waiting for.
Duchess Ilromie: Why did you attack Solmundi that night?
Kali Windbreeze: When he killed you and did not show a single shred of remorse, I knew he was beyond redemption. I attacked him to show him that his actions wuld not go uncontested. I had no intent or ability to kill him.
DI: Were you attacked by the Commander before that event?
KW: I was attacked by the commander before, North of Seringale, with you. When neither of us were criminals. And he nearly killed us both.
DI: Do you believe the law serves good?
KW: When appropriately carried out, the law can be a powerful force of good. In hte wrong hands it can be a source of pain and tyranny.
DI: No further questions.
Solmundi attempted to object to this but Davairus refused to entertain any more of them.
Commander Solmundi: Kali did you or did you not attack me with no provocation? My mustang may have gotten a little out of hand, but I am not a mustang, now am I?
KW: My attack on you was not an act in isolation. My action against you was a culmination of all of the experiences we had up until that point - many experiences that showed that you were a paladin in name alone.
CS: Kali did you attack me even though I personally did not attack you or Ilromie?
KW: No. I attacked you because you had attacked us and had shown numerous times to be of evil nature and no true paladin. You were lost for a very long time before you ascended, Solmundi. We all know it.
Lunaia then requested for my Lord Kedaleam to be queried, although he had only just arrived on the scene and had little idea of what he was getting himself into. By the time he finally figured which seat to sit on, Davairus moved the trial onto closing statements.
DI: Members of the Jury, if Kali is guilty of anything, it is an excess of passion. He has yet made a vow to maintain the light, and perhaps he has acted against the law in times of strife. Know that what is good is to stand against the abuses of the law and tyranny. To protect those you love. And to act upon wrongs that you witness.
CS: Persons of the jury. I have thought long and hard about this case. Perhaps Kali is not guilty of the charges. In fact I cannot sleep at night knowing he was found guilty. Do yourselves and myself a favor. Find him innocent. I officially drop my charges against him.
We all blinked at this. Davairus said the charges could not be dropped and shooed all the jury members out to convene and return with their verdict. The jurors marched out, all save Lunaia, who was still staring at the ceiling. Ilromie started pacing around the desk nervously. Lunaia awoke with a start and flew out of the room. After a short but interminably awkward pause, the jurors returned - save Lunaia, who had gotten stuck in the ceiling yet again somewhere in the hallway.
At last - at LONG LAST - High Warlord Shaghroth announced the jury's verdict: a count of Not Guilty, 5 to 0 (for he could not count). Solmundi said he was happy with the result and would sleep well that night. The exhausted audience ran for the door. I was then charged to provide the service of conversion, and Kali was given the task of choosing a new name for himself. He first chose a fairly terrible one to which Wylsin and Davairus winced, before settling on one that fits quite well, I think: Kaelric Illistarre. With Lord Kedaleam's blessing, I then offered Kali the path back to light we had been hoping for, and he took on the mantle of Water as my first student.
This concludes the tumultuous events of the Trial of Kali Windbreeze, recorded painstakingly by Serra the Paradigm of Water, Doyenne of Religion.

The skies are lit with lightning and all sound is lost in thunder. The surge has arrived. Event "The Trial of Kali Windbreeze" is underway!
Now streaming Serra.
The People's Courtroom Stepping into the courtroom, you quickly come to the realization that it extends all the way up past the fourth floor of the Rest. Thin windows let in small rectangles of light, which slowly pass over the many rows of seats as the day grows later. Several rows of fine mahogany benches sit behind the marble railing which separates spectators from players in the Court. To either side of a break in the railing sit wide desks where the accuser and defender may sit while a smaller stand rests against the far wall, where the witness sits while giving his testimony. A box with cushioned benches rests to the right, waiting for a dozen bored Jurors to fill it. A final dais rises nearly to the first story, upon which sits a tall chair with dark purple cushions for the presiding judge.

Valindra juts a stubby emerald finger.
Shaghroth looks at a dead human wrapped in steel chains.
Valindra says 'You wanted to play kangaroo court by taking the stand, Darksworn. Step down and call your witnesses if you wish.'

Wylsin says 'She challenged him to a duel to the stun in the arena to settle the matter.'
Lunaia nods at Valindra.
Ilromie says 'How did you expect such event to unfold?'
Davairus says 'Every juror is sitting here wondering why Kali raided the Justice cabal, just get to the point, nobody can follow all this nonsense.'
Valindra says 'In fact, I dismiss the jury to consider the accused.'
Dogran nods in enthusiastic agreement with Davairus.
Wylsin says 'Solmundi won the duel, but the mustang under his control killed Ilromie as she lay stunned.'
Ilromie says 'The antagonization by the Commander is relevant to that question.'
Valindra says 'Please render your verdict quickly.'
Lunaia blinks innocently at Davairus.
Valindra says 'And then attend me with it.'

Wylsin raises an eyebrow at Davairus's weird actions.
Ilromie says 'In fact, that was not the accusations laid at our feet.'
Dogran says 'I humbly offer my services.'
Dogran bows before Davairus.
Solmundi says 'That was one of the charges Illi, but I know you're incapable of understanding.'
Wylsin says to Davairus 'How can they make a decision to that effect without understanding the particulars of the occasion?'
Lunaia chimes softly, 'Solmundi.'
Lunaia chimes softly, 'Cease your disrespect this instance. My throat grows dry from false coughing.'

Lunaia chimes softly, 'All of you.'
Solmundi says 'Lunaia should be dismissed.'
Leitha says 'I believe the story is almost over anyway.'
Wylsin says to Leitha 'It is indeed.'

Lunaia moves her lips with eyes closed, face to the ceiling.
Solmundi says 'I TOLD HER THE MUSTANG WOULD BE PUT DOWN. What more do you want from me?'
Valindra says 'Whoops.'
<HERALD> Odile the Crier: 'Farewell Valindra, may the winds guide you to a swift return.' Valindra has left the realms. A tiny wisp named Hibbadibbity slowly disappears.
Now streaming Far Above Serin.
Now streaming Serra.
The People's Courtroom Stepping into the courtroom, you quickly come to the realization that it extends all the way up past the fourth floor of the Rest. Thin windows let in small rectangles of light, which slowly pass over the many rows of seats as the day grows later. Several rows of fine mahogany benches sit behind the marble railing which separates spectators from players in the Court. To either side of a break in the railing sit wide desks where the accuser and defender may sit while a smaller stand rests against the far wall, where the witness sits while giving his testimony. A box with cushioned benches rests to the right, waiting for a dozen bored Jurors to fill it. A final dais rises nearly to the first story, upon which sits a tall chair with dark purple cushions for the presiding judge.

I converted him to good at the very end (when I offered conversion). It didn't show any outward sign when it happened but I confirmed with know alignment.

Aye, ‘ad no idea ah was a juror me’self until Lor’ Davairus be sendin’ me n’ the udders the fac’s o’ the case! Tha’ poin’ ah pu’ on me airs n’ di’ me civic du’y.
