Tribunals

A tribunal is an Elvin trial. They're held in Eternalia. All twelve Councillors preside, with Oralie detecting lies and Emery mediating telepathic conversations. They are rare because crime is supposed to be rare in the Elvin world. They are usually open to the public, but one of Sophie's was closed because it was related to Elementine and Quintessence. A blue banner is flown when a tribunal is in progress.

Known Tribunals
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.
