Tribunal Hall

Located in Eternalia, Tribunal Hall is tall domed building, in which tribunals are held. It is mentioned that it is much higher than the average building in the area, and that it looks much more serious than its surroundings. It was described to sparkle less than most structures despite appearing to be constructed of giant emeralds. On top of it there may be a blue banner depending if there is a tribunal happening. In most cases the proceedings there are open to anyone.

The interior of the building houses quite a few things, and is the described to be rather enormous. Each of the twelve councillors have thrones in the hall, each with their names engraved in them. Some of the more distinguishable thrones are Oralie's, which is a chair that sported a heart shaped back and comfortable cushions with pink tourmaine, Bronte's, a plain silver one dotted with onyx, and Kenric's, which was polished wood with large pieces. Facing the councillors, is an elevated platform in which the accused sat, which in the case of the quintessence incident was Sophie. It is unsure if there is always a defendant, though it is known that Alden was sitted next to Sophie. Behind that area, is an area where people related to the tribunal sit, and even further back hosts a very large area to sit.

Tribunals Held Here
Taking place before the first book, Prentice was tried for being suspected of being a member of the Black Swan. Alden testified against him. Prentice was found guilty and a memory break was performed by Alden and Quinlin Sonden. This memory break would later make Alden's mind break because of his guilt. Sophie unwittingly and illegally bottled Quintessence from Elementine. The Black Swan, through Sir Astin, gave her a star map in The Universe that lend her to bottle it. The attendees were Grady, Edaline, Dex, Sir Astin, Dame Alina, and Elwin, along with Sophie and the Councillors. The tribunal was closed due to anything involving Quintessence being kept secret. Sophie was declared innocent. Sophie bottled Everblaze to prove that the Neverseen had been setting fires in the human world. It was public. She had commited five major transgressions and eleven minor transgressions, a new record. Her punishment, however, was marked as "already served" because of her kidnapping. Next, it was discussed whether she would remain at Foxfire. Her mentors stepped in and passed her, except Lady Galvin, her alchemy mentor. It was decided she would take Inflicting with Councillor Bronte instead. Finally, she made the choice of staying with Grady and Edaline instead of being adopted by the Vackers.
