Judgement
A judgement refers to any decision rendered upon a Grievance placed into the Grievance Box located at the base of the Tower of the Clouds in Pendril. Judgements are rendered upon those who break the Incontrovertible Edict and their punishments vary widely, from execution and exile to indentured servitude and fines. Punishments have not been consistent over the past century, with some far exceeding the nature of the crime and others a mere token of justice to atone for some atrocity. Judgements are also rendered on a haphazard schedule. Some judgments occur hours after a grievance has been submitted while others take moons or even years. Not all grievances warrant a judgement as many grievances great and small have gone unanswered. Not all judgements seem to stem from grievances, either. Some violations of the Edict have resulted in summary judgement with an edit ever being filed.
In all cases, judgments that are made are revealed with deep voice reading the rime and its punishment out loud to the guilty party. Some judgements occur in busy markets and others in private homes. Punishments, whatever they may be, are always enacted immediately after a judgment is read. A written copy of the judgement is stored on small shelf next to the Grievance Box.
