The Hall of Judgements

The Hall of Judgements is the headquarters of the Judicator Sphere (those techmages dedicated to law enforcement and judicial work) as well as the Mozoroi System High Court - the highest court in the system. The Hall is situated in the Yokona Prefecture of the City of Morona.

Purpose / Function

There are two major purposes for the Hall. Firstly is to be where the System High Court convenes to hear court cases and pronounce judgements on them. The second major purpose is to be the headquarters of the Judicators of the system. For that second purpose, an entire wing of the building has been turned into an archive of legal documents, court decisions, law books & records and anything else the Judicators require. It is here where a Judicator goes to review old cases to help determine what they should do for a particularly difficult legal quandary or case.

Alterations

The Halls of Judgement have seen slow expansions over the years, typically in the form of expanding the older part of the building to make room for more record halls or offices for necessary functionaries for both the Court and the Judicators.

History

The Hall of Judgements was established early in the settling of Mozoroi (around the time the system government was shifted to Mozoroi). The Hall was built in the capital city of Moruna at the behest of Judicator-Archmage Tholion Skava, with support from the existing High Justices (who at the time were based at the Spire Orbital Complex around Saliet). The building was initially conceived as just a courthouse for the High Court but Skava was able to work out an agreement with the Justices to allow part of the complex to house the leadership of the Judicator Sphere, mostly by appealing to the desire for better collaboration between the Judicators and the Court.
