TribunalOfWestinton TribunalOfWestintonBaronessaAcaraDeLaRook was most notable among those examined. Though her actions were questioned with great suspicion, no cause for formal discipline was found.
There were condemnations for abuse related to battles, including atrocities, plunder, and theft by control related to malfeasance of those charged with looking after estates of persons absent for service, as well as those charged with supervision of captured property and territory.
Those judged most culpable were exposed on Cetus Rock off the XerxinePeninsula and given to the Nameless Deep One. Lesser acts were punished by simple execution, forfeiture of title and property, or consignment to servitude. Some few were quietly given into the custody of the DeepCourt; a few have since returned.
It was a dark but necessary hour for the HighCourt to achieve a lasting peace after the VaultedWar.

Regrettably there was some score-settling and scapegoating which figured into the results. My former master suffered far out of proportion to his actions during the VaultedWar.
I would call the tribunal the first twitches of the curtain that, once parted, shed much light into the post-war world. The DeepCourt's surrender in the VaultedWar meant we had no voice on the tribunal itself, but the HighCourt committed itself powerfully to addressing the complaints pressed by the troika. Besides that, the citizens of the HighCourt were hard pressed to do things like clothe themselves and eat.
After the Nameless Deep One was done, the DeepCourt collected the Cetus Rock and split it. It rests under the waves, to remind us.
Indeed, I was informed during my visit to the HighCourt that ceremony and punctilio had been very much relaxed in the years since the end of the VaultedWar, and that it was a very different place with quite a broad mix of peoples. My confidant -- or perhaps chaperone -- from the HighGuard suggested that it was because the tightest-wound old stick-in-the-muds had been severely decimated by a combination of the war, the TribunalOfWestinton, and the realignment of the HighCourt to the favor of the Harmony Walkers, whose traditions are ancient yet open and welcoming, and whose organization is broad.
