Cambion's Home

While justice is not something that comes easily or often in Greymantle marsh, a few prominent points in enacting and establishing law have become very well known. one of these more outlaw versions of law, perhaps unofficially employed by the city of Lockhing and other formial institutions is the Cambion's Home, a set of ruins that has been inhabited and reinented by a cambion named Ejiraksa withing the last few decades. There is debate whether the ruins have anything to do with law or the canbion's history, with various tales hinting of demonic rituals or an ancient home of his human family, but there are no surviving records that say one way or another. when laws are broken, or what the cambion sees as laws, criminals find themselves brought to the ruin by secritive agents and obedient creatures, pulled from other locations (or perhaps brought to vulnerable places by other law enforecement agents) and jdugemetn is handed down by the cambion alone. though he does seem to take into consideration the testiments of others, the guilty is never allowed to bring witnesses or lawyers of their own, and the accusing counsil is only nebullously tied to the crime at best. in fact, the way that he seems to have used the counsel of animals and semi-intelligent or traidftionally eil-aligned creatures as often as those who may have actually witnessed or known anything about the crime has led to rumors that the cambion is in fact fey related instead of infernal as he seems. this makes the judgements difficult to predict though very rarely is complete innocence ever found. almost always some amount is found and some punishment handed out, though the actual punishment can be any number of things from corporal punishment to indefinite banishment or inprisonment, to bizarre or impossible assignments to the guilty. until these assignments are completeed, some curse or being constantly watched or tormented by beings loyal to the cambion will happen.
