The First Trial of the Sterling Crownlands

The First Trial
The First Trial conducted in the Sterling Crownlands, on the 11th of January, was the conviction of Petty King Kiwirion of Noxnorr for the misplanting of Red Tulips in Bern Vralas, of which it is a crime, by Duke of Bern froggyflippers. Kiwirion plead innocent but was found guilty of poor flower planting practice. His sentence was reduced on account of Kiwirion being colourblind. Kiwirion requested a duel to the death to decide his fate, but this request was denied by the High King of the Sterling Crownlands Julijajo.

Complications leading to the Second Trial
A second trial was held immediately after due to a number of complications that occurred within, and outside of the court. Members of the Jury, JustAtlas1 and Primeval had attempted to bribe the Defence Lawyer Ssason88, as well as High King of the Sterling Crownlands Julijajo, in an attempt to get Kiwirion executed for his crimes. The Judge, Mimmy, Petty King of Lemebah, denied this, and dismissed the jury on malpractice and personal complication. Following the dismissal of court, after Kiwirion's sentencing, it appeared that both Jury members made an attempt on the lives of the Defendent, Kiwirion, and the Judge, Mimmy, before fleeing the scene. These attempts proved not fatal, however, a second court case was called. Primeval turned themselves in and pled guilty to the charge of Assault, however, he claimed it was in jest, not ill intent. Kiwirion delierated with Judge Mimmy and a reduced sentence was handed out to Primeval; the charge of Minor assault, reduced from aggravated assault. Primeval was sentenced to 5 minutes in Bern Jail.

Atlas continued to be elusive, and an arrest warrant was placed upon him for the crimes of Bribery, Obstruction of Justice, Evasion of Law Enforcement and Aggravated Assault. Atlas was to be put to death. As members of the court began to comb the streets of Bern for Atlas, he took an invisibility potion and made a second attempt upon Judge Mimmy's life, again proving nonfatal.

Atlas finally turned themselves in on the request of Three Kings, Kiwirion, Mimmy and Julijajo. Before Atlas could be executed for his crimes, he fled, and threw himself from the High Walls of Bern. He was killed upon impact with the ground below. Primeval was instead put to execution at his request, and was promptly executed by the High King Julijajo in the Luna Temple in Bern.

Implications of the Court Case
The case was a landmark in the Sterling Crownlands for the enforcement of proper flower planting standards of practice, as well as the enforcement of the ban on red tulips within Bern. The case saw the official banning of dueling within the Sterling Crownlands, and all its petty kingdoms. It was unknown what the effect this ban will have on the bum pits notorious throughout the North.
