Last night the Council of Inquisition did meet in closed and formal
session, to pass judgement upon Lorian. We did there decide the following,
and do hereby make public pronouncement, to wit:

* It is decided that Lorian hath been the victim rather than the criminal
in this sad affair, and hath suffered greatly and unwillingly at the hands
of the villain Sendorian and his minions.

* Nevertheless, she did perform most terrible acts; merely to pronounce
innocence is insufficient. Thus we, the Council do bid her do the
following, in the hopes that she may one day find peace within her soul,
and rest content in the bosom of her race.

- We bid thee, Lorian, by root and branch, by honour and love, to lay
down every one of thy weapons, never more to take them up. We bid thee
kill no more any living thing, be it beast or bird, be it low or high, and
so to walk in gentle peace through this our Land.

- We bid thee, Lorian, by root and branch, by honour and love, to devote
thy life to the assistance of all members of the Sylvan race. To aid them,
to succour them and to heal them, in any place, at any time, an they be in
need, though it cause thy death.

- We bid thee, Lorian, by root and branch, by honour and love, to hold to
these things until such time as thou dost perform a pilgrimage to the
sacred places of the Sylvan Race, there to commune with thy soul and the
souls of all those so foully slain who have gone before. When thou hast
received absolution at their hands, and only then, do we bid thee lay down
the burdens of thy guilt.


We lay upon thee these charges, not as punishment, but in hopes of thine
own eventual salvation.

The Council has spoken. Thus shall it be.

Other matters decided upon by the Council shall be presented in detail by
the Peerless Urgelt, and AlthePal.
