The 8th Judicial Trial of the Lyrenzia Foundation has hereby begun:

The charges are:
1) Elaralith accuses Tifareth of an unjustified attack against herself
2) Elaralith accuses Zerbus of an unjustified attack against herself

The testimony of Elaralith thus far, is:

A female human with a name I believe to be "Tifareth" has first insulted me to get me to fight her and when I declined attacked me. Another, male elf "Zerbus" attacked along with her. Both with no good reason save bloodthirstiness. I wish them to be brought to justice. Draakon Na' Kurtak stands as witness for he viewed the whole thing. Thank you.

I believe I was a witness, but I would like a date to see if that was the one I was at, because I saw both people, and no one attacked Elaralith. Elaralith was the one insulting them with her "better than thou" attitude. But I'm not sure if thats the one I was at, because there was no bloodshed.

Please Ignore her testomonty because her and Paul Laffing is suspected of taking the monsters I have reason to belive. She cant be trusted.

Today, i meet the person called "Tifareth".
The result of this meeting where some heavy wounds and injuries i got.
It is very possible and for me beliveable that this bloodthirsty Person attacked Elaralith without any visiable reason or even without letting Elaraltith a decent Chance to defend herself.

But for Zerbus, a cloes Friend of mine, i would put my Hand into Fire.
It is not possible that the did such a villian act. Maybe Elaralith misstook some of his actions.

Darlok

Bingem, just because I am exiled doesn't mean I won't kill anyone. Keep lieing about things like this and you will be dead.

My god, Bingem! Soon you're going to have the whole town in jail for stealing the monsters! Now, what is your reason to believe I stole them?

Paul rolls his eyes.

i heard you and Elaraith talking about it dont lie.

Bingem, when I see you in the forest you better start running.

You heard me and Elaralith talking about it... hmmm... Thats funny, I haven't talked to Elaralith in a long time, unless we have some kind of exchange of insults.

((hey, I just realized you took an exact copy of MY avatar. Give it back here, lout But seriously, I custom cut it.))

Draakon puts a small note on the board before leaving to take a rest

Due to my lack of rest these past days I will have to make this short, my full testimony will be written when I wake again, but the incident Paul mentions was indeed the one, it did however go on after that and did not end near the cross where it started. I think perhaps it would be good if alot of pointless notes were not crammed up here to atleast try and make it easier for Lyrenzia to make their jugement without having to uprise a quarrel of things that should be beside as I have seen alot of before...

Also Paul thou may want to tune down a bit as I remember it twas indeed thou that shared the most harsh words with the lady Elaralith and I am still wondering if it was not indeed these words shared between Paul and Elaralith that were somehow misstaken to have been directed elsewhere in the crowd of people ultimatley leading to what became of it...the words "immoral wench" comes to mind...as well as the words "stupid fool".

Also the only people who saw this thing from beginning to end was myself, the lady Elaralith, Tifareth and Zerbus. At the start there was a rather large crowd gathered whom all did a very good job in trying to get the fight to actually happen as fast as possible. And where it all took to the end there was a halfling man whom I do not know however he did nothing except say a few words and observe.

And as for thee sir Darlok to ask Zerbus thyself may be a good thing to do as I hardly think he will deny it, the act was to strike the lady Elaralith down of course twas also under the feeling of having been very insulted and things had been boiling for some time so finally things got too much I belive.

Now this is indeed very sad for me as I would concider Zerbus, Tifareth and the lady Elaralith nothing but friends as they have shown me nothing but kindness. Tis my luck indeed to get caught up in this and all efforts to stop it were in vain, honour feeling insulted obviously does not lead to much reason or calmness.

Also I do not want a whole lot of people telling me of all the evils Elaralith has caused in past times, I have heard much of it already and if it be something along the line of a witness against character or what one would say of course input what feels right, just do not lecture me on the evils of Elaralith. The "fight" that took place was just in my opinon so unsessesary to start with as it was to bicker for so long on it that it could come to nothing else but drawing steel. It could have been easily avoided many a time if just one of the parties had simply backed off and said "Well nevermind this it was just silly, no need to take it further" I begged for it to be so and asked countless times to stop it but like I said, all in vain.

My full testimony on what took place shall be provided shortly.

Hey, I only called her those after she insulted my intelligence far too many times. You may not, but I remember "Malinne ignore Paul, he is an idiot," and many things of the like. Also, Elaralith was casting in town, but wasn't successful in her casting, so we didn't know what she was casting, but she cast all the same.

Elaralith might be this arrogant woman i met, i am not voilent but there are a few things i really dont like. And i wont stand arround smiling if someone insults me.

Draakon can witness that i give Elaralith more than one change to appologice but she didnt and just insults me more. After i have waited nearly half an hour i thought it is enough and attacked her. But this coward didnt staied, she disapeared to nowhere..

And Darlok, stop moaning.. do you really thing you can insult people arround you and nobody will act cause of this? Be more carefull with your words. I gave you your chance.

Tifareth

No no no...I know Zerbus, he wouldn't kill unjustly. Surely there must be a mistake...

The true incident as happened:

The female human known as Tifareth was in a drunken rage at the town cross and asking people to fight her. The crowd present at the time can testify to this. I, Elaralith, healed her of her ills caused by her drinking, and told her to stop fighting.

Soon after this I left with Draakon to have a peaceful conversation in the town tavern, The Seahorse. The female human known as Tifareth stalked us, and for an unknown reason the male Drow elf Zerbus accompanied her. The female human, Tifareth pestered Draakon and I and repeatedly demanded for an "apology", the Drow elf Zerbus egged her on. I, Elaralith gave the female human Tifareth what she demanded with death threats though there was nothing to apologize for.

Then, Draakon and I went up to the parlor in the second level of the Seahorse. Unknown to me, Tifareth along with Zerbus again stalked us and cornered me in the parlor room. Screaming insults and throwing forth dirty accusations Zerbus the Drow elf was the first to raise a sword and assaulted I Elaralith. Seeing that Zerbus was totally unsuccessful in harming me in any way, the female human Tifareth immediately drew her sword and started hacking away at me Elaralith, and giving an unjustified assault. I was wounded badly, and only merely escaped with my life.

Sometime later on, the female human Tifareth this time with a male human one Faramier, ambushed and tried to assault me again as I was crossing the town streets. Unsuccessful, Tifareth hurled such insults as "coward". I, Elaralith, ran to a more busy section of town, and there Tifareth gave many insults and threats to my person, but was too afraid of the public eye to assault me. This can be testified to by the crowd at the time, and more specifically Neon Rift. Faramier I now accuse of assisting Tifareth and urging her on with taunts to attack and assault unjustifiably my person.

Testimony Ended.

It is my hope that you the jury and peoples will see the truth and bring rights to rights.
May justice rise through!

~Elaralith, Priestess of Elara~

To the honorable court of Lyrenzia and its judges,


seems like I should testify here, perhaps against myself?
NO - bad idea,

rather than that I will tell you what REALLY happened...
after all I have trust in the courts ability to judge right from wrong and to bring justice to whoever deserves it,
using Elaraliths words here, and I shall later explain to the court, what justice meants in Elaralith´s eyes.

First of I plead guilty for inviting Tifareth, a good friend of mine, to have some beer.
I do not recall how many she drank, but I admit that she had drunk up a lot of bottles.

Draakon Na'Kurtak, Tifareth and myself were standing quite near to the cross and had a good time. After some time Elaralith would show up greeting us according to standard well-behaviour.
I was shouting the next round for Tifareth, when Elaralith made it her business - telling Tifareth in a stuck-up way not to drink more. How it is with drunk rivvin, they like to have a fight for mere entertainment.

Tifareth challenged Elaralith to a little fight and though Draakon Na'Kurtak told Elaralith to no further heat up the situation,
she could not but hurt the pride of a drunken warrior - telling Tifareth that she would be no match in a fight.

This but made Tifareth even more insisting in challenging Elaralith - a natural state - and Elaralith would comment that she would know, Tifareth were only drunk and therefore she would not know in what trouble she was talking herself into.

After some unrelevant other ongoing - basically Elaralith insulting some other people around - she left, demanding that Draakon should acompany her to whatever business she had in mind.
Tifareth and I went into the burnt down shop of the Silverstar Merchants, where we met Roke, to compare the quality of her and my brew.

There we bumped into Elaralith once more and Tifareth demanden an appology for Elaralith's behaviour, which of course she would not get. Elaralith would walk away and Tifareth was right behind her - I, of course, followed as did Draakon Na'Kurtak.
Some trees and some cornes blocked my sight and so I lost them all, but found them shortly after standing infront of the Seahorse. There I told Elarlith to simply apologize, if it would not hurt her pride all too much.

I want to bring to your mind, that until then I did not get involved in this quarrel between those two women, nor did I insult anybody. What did I get as an answer from Elaralith?

AN INSULT - AND ANOTHER INSULT - and frankly, I have taken many insults from that woman and I had sworn before that she would pay for that with my steel and yet I had not done so. Drathe be my witness for that!!!
This time I was determined to either get an appropriate apology or to simply remove that so called Priestess of Elara - godess of Wisdom - from the earth that we all walk.

If she was ever blessed with WISDOM, she would not have acted like a fool, who's pride was hurt beforehand.

What happened?
She fled on the second floor of the Seahorse, were I gave her a last chance to apologize - I had done nothing wrong and yet she attacked me verbaly in a rude way - not fitting for a Priestess of Elara!
I gave her more than one chance to apologize, she did not - I DID attack her and she? She disappeared right in front of my eyes!!! *PUFF*


This is the first part of our encounter - witnesses to it were Draakon Na'Kurtak, Tifareth, Cain Freemont of Drundir, Malinne, Paul Laffing, and few other individuals I do not know by their names.

Soon after Draakon left and so did Tifareth, going back to her forest camp.
Now here I want to tell the court something... Tifareth did not come back anymore... I know that for sure.
I know not what Elaralith is talking about when saying that later she was engaged by Faramier and Tifareth together.


This is a pure LIE born out in a sick mind!! And I have proof - thus begins the second part of our encounter...


Later, the same evening, I was in town with Darlok and his wife Lucil, very much involved in some business that is of NO CONCERN to the public nor to the court of Lyrenzia. That much I will say... I had no time to deal with Elaralith!

We were standing near to the shop, when Elaralith would run in, raving madly, demanding JUSTICE! And here let me give more insight to the court and the public, what JUSTICE means in Elaralith's eyes.

She was screaming around, to get all the attention I suppose, that she has brought the incident before Lyrenzia - not fitting for a Priestess of Elara, or am I mistaken?
Instead of leaving the scene, after I told her to get lost, she immediately started to attack me with her foul magic. I ask myself and the court - why report an incident and shortly after try to take revenge?

Makes no sense in my eyes - this would be double revenge - I suppose this so called Priestess of Elara cannot make up her mind, which way she wants things to be... with that attack this whole trial is senseless.
She took JUSTICE into her own hands and yet demands JUSTICE to be brought to me by Lyrenzia!!!

Several people tried to stop Elaralith from her attacks that she commited in BLIND RAGE - she persisted on continuing the attack in a crowd of people, not at all caring for the havoc she did create!!!
She demanded the others not to get involved and did not spare me with her insulting words - as I said - she was RAVING.
I promised her several times myself that I would deal with her later, if she so much insisted, but I simply could not then.
She kept on attacking me and she kept on calling me a MURDERER!!! This is laughable, she disappeared right in front of my eyes in a cloud, before Tifareth could finish her off and yet demands JUSTICE.

And before I forget it... she really kept on whining to EVERYBODY about what has happened to her before. NOT seeming for a Priestess of Elara.

I fled the scene to better deal with the more urgent business and what did Elaralith do?
She followed to get her JUSTICE NOW!!!
We had another encounter - harsh in words and then she left with saying that she would appologize for her senses of JUSTICE to have gotten hold of her. Nobody demanden an appology then...
Now this is truly a Priestess of Elara.


Here ends my testimony and as further witnesses for this second encounter I want to name the following citizen:
Darlok, Lucil, Grant Herion, Drogla Dreglo, Avrillon, Malinne, Kincent, Paul Laffing, Armil Drakhen, Crosis and others I do not know by their names.



Furthermore I accuse Elaralith of the following:

repeatedly attacking
casting in town and creating a havoc
character assassination
racism
perjury

I also demand that Elaralith be stripped officially from her title as "Priestess Of Elara".



in deep respect for the court's ability for JUSTICE,


Zerbus

1. ......
2. how come Malinne you assume Zerbus to be a HALF-DROW?
I never said so... Zerbus is simply a DROW
3. concerning the discussion about RACISM:
I will not remove it, since as was stated... different races ---> hate amongst races ---> thats racism

(( Racsim is not a charge, remove it, because, there was no such word a racsim and no one would actually, care, as drows are disliked, genrally amongst the common peoples of the time))

(( Regaurdless, it's still not an acceptable thing to use, if this was properly rp'ed, drows are hated by everyone but other drows, and even then there is still dislikes, if this were rp'ed properly, Zerbus's testimoney, would be thrown out, for the simple fact that he is a half drow. Racsim is not a valid charge, races are supposed to dislike each other, High elves, are suppose to hate drows and vise versa, because they share diffrent veiws and beliefs. ))

In that case, all dwarves and elves dislike eachother. Not everybody dislikes drows. High elves do not necesary "hates" drows either, since both are of the more intelligent race, they have understanding for eachother. Even though they may hate or dislike them, it is not a must.

As it seems most of the story has already been told there is little I can add that I feel has relevance but perhaps some points should be taken up.
As for Paul the words stupid fool and idiot did indeed come from Elaralith that is why I say it was the two of you whom shared the most harsh words.

Now just like Zerbus has told I met him and Tifareth by the cross having some beer, I stopped to talk a little with them and nothing much really happened until Tifareth had drank quite the amount of beer I can not recall how many it was but indeed twas a great deal. At this point she playfully said that she felt like hurting something having a little fight or something like this. She said she was getting a good feeling from all the beer and I asked what that may have been when she said if I drew my sword I would surley find out. Obviously since I still have my head I declined this challenge and nothing more of it was said...
Now shortly after the lady Elaralith came and saw Tifareth gulping down beer saying how it has harmfull effects and that she should be careful, I also belive Elaralith tried to heal some of the effects with some sort of spell. Either way now Tifareth asks the lady Elaralith for a fight, as I took it not in a very threatening manner, the lady Elaralith declined this challenge but unfortunatley added some words along the line of that there would be no real fight and that Tifareth had no idea what she was getting into. These were the words that I belive Tifareth saw as a challenge and possibly as an insult, so she started to try and pursue that the fight took place more now. I would also like to point out how easily this could have been avoided had it not been for the uniqe stubborness from both parties sides...
Anyway now the crowd started basically cheering on and throwing all kinds of insults at the lady Elaralith where she then tried to defend herself against them. Also I can agree with Zerbus when he says he did not insult her or take any part in this downright slandering, he merely observed and if I remember may have slipped a comment about the fight between Tifareth and Elaralith might prove to be fun.

At this point the lady Elaralith is becomming very annoyed with the big crowd but still trying to defend herself against them seems very preoccupied and cannot really speak to Tifareth whom is wanting to know if there will be a fight or not. The lady Elaralith said she did not wish to fight along with some comments that made Tifareth want either an apoligy or the fight. The lady Elaralith asked me to come with her as she wanted to speak to me of something and so I thought this to be a good idea and did not feel commanded to go with her but I thought it may prevent the fight atleast. I do not remember everything that was said but Elaralith was talking to alot of people at the same time basically giving some sort of preachings if you wish that were I belive not really directed at Tifareth who now wanted an apoligy. If the lady Elaralith really heard this or not I am unsure of as she was quite preoccupied, however shortly after she left and I went with her to the garden just west of the Silverstar shop.

We spoke here of some things that bear no relevance to this at all but we were soon interrupted as Tifareth saw us and came fourth saying that Elaralith owed her a fight. The returning words were something like "I owe you nothing child..." and also something like that Tifareth owed herself a good life. Tifareth explained that since Elaralith had not apoligized for insulting her she was this as an invitation to fight, the lady Elaralith said that she had not insulted her.... not much more was said of importance the lady Elaralith asked to be left alone and started walking more to the west. Also at this point Zerbus and the halfling male showed up merley observing what took place wich was basically alot of fighting words from both Tifareth and the lady Elaralith with me standing in between trying to get them to stop. After this Elaralith went away again and shortly after I followed and found her outside the Seahorse, Tifareth had followed me and some more words were spoken.
The lady Elaralith now did apoligize for having made Tifareth feel insulted wich had not been her intention at all and she said perhaps Tifareth had missunderstood something. Here came something interresting for Tifareth asked how the word idiot could be missunderstood wich to my knowlege was only spoken from the lady Elaralith to Paul so perhaps Tifareth had thought in the confusion that it was directed at her, I did not really understand and still do not...
Anyway now Zerbus and the halfling showed up again and Zerbus said something like if Elaralith would just apoligize this could all be over with. Feeling she had just done so and clearly annoyed she blurted out some insulting words against Zerbus as she said she had just apoligized he of course got upset and now wanted an apoligy for that as he felt it was uncalled for clearly. Now the journey took us up to the upper levels of the Seahorse after I went a bit astray having lost sight and searched for them in the garden first, so for a brief moment I do not know what was spoken thou I doubt it was anything worth mentioning. I came up there and now Zerbus was the one wanting the apoligy as well as Tifareth wanted her either to apoligize properly or to Zerbus as well wich I am unsure of...
After some time and lots of fighting words how noone was scared of the other and so on Zerbus lost his patience and drew his blade slowly approaching Elaralith and now demnding she apoligze or he attacks. Somehow the lady Elaralith was very caught up speaking of something like anger control and inner peace wich was not very appreciated at the moment and so Zerbus attacked her, Tifareth joined in and then Elaralith somehow managed to dissapear wich ends the story as far as I know and is what this trial was started based upon.

I highly doubt this testimony will make it any easier to decide upon anything and I feel the whole ordeal could have so many times been so easily avoided if not just that additional word had been said or if one had just felt content enough to leave it at what it was before becoming anything. A very good example of how a whole sheep is made of just a lock of wool...

I may have forgotten something important or told something slightly wrong if so please do correct me if it feels like it bears importance. Otherwise this is my testimony and I hope no side feels wronged by it in an injust way and that it will help Lyrenzia some. Thank you.

The letter is signed Draakon Na' Kûrtak and folded once before pinned to the wall

Her name was Tif Tif,
She smells like rotting fish.

And she also attacked me,

Although I hate elarith aswell,

Just let em sort it out between them

Let me tell you a true story.

My friends took pigs to the tavern to draw pictures of them. Later Elaralith came and tried to blame myself and Lenti, whom arrived after the pigs, she then continued to burn them with flames, and after that she had the nerve to demand myself and Lenti left the tavern, or she would force us with her staff.

Since then I have lost all respect of anything Elaralith says.

Herm, I think that was possibly when Elaralith was going through a hard time...

I have known her always to be wise, courteous and warm.
I will defend her eternally in whatever accusations she makes...especially against to Halfling murderer, Zerbus...

Maybe Tifareth and Zerbus are going through hard times too, not that it would make a difference.

To All:
I want to personally thank all who have decided to spend some of their time to add to this trial of the female human Tifareth and male Drow Zerbus for their crimes.
~Elaralith, Priestess of Elara~

I think I might request a trial of my own, then. Elaralith casted offensive spells on me in the center of town unprovoked. Pebrarco, Cain, and Drathe are my witnesses.

Well since I was noted in seeing this, I might as well reply, I want the truth to be known, and I would really like the to resolve it among themselves. I only saw the middle part though, Tiferath was in an extremely drunk state an was chalenging elaralith to a duel after elaralith made a few of her "Wise" comments, (Sarcasm) then she basicailly started a verbal war with many of the people around her, saying that she was so powerful a duel would be pointless with tiferith, thus making the drunk tiferith very inclined to want to prove herself. ((And yes elaralit logged many times, NOT GOOD RP!!)) They were not unjusified attacks, and if she wants to get someone in jail because of people attacking her because of her "foolish" insults, she needs to defend herself, This is a pointless trial. Trials should be for things thke the silvestar merchant shop fire.

The lady that was with Zerbus, Tifareth, wanted a fight because Elaralith insulted her as she often does to people when she doesn't approve of them or their behavior. The lady then retaliated and along with some returned insults, asked for a fight, but Elaralith would say that she didn't a chance and kept beating around the bush and, well, flaunting her alleged strength which only seemed to make Tifareth want to fight even more. This is what was going on when I showed up by the cross with Paul and Cain. Draakon was present and tried to get Elaralith to calm down and not provoke the lady further, but she just kept running her mouth.

I'll say, I did not see Zerbus strike Elaralith a single time and any attacks from Tifareth were justified.. Apparently she decided to insult Zerbus as well just for being around Tifareth, and when Zerbus demanded she take the words back, she refused, even after she herself had made threats to get Tifareth to apologize after she made comebacks and for challenging Elaralith.

Whenever Elaralith was attacked, she would disappear before much harm if any could be done, only to reappear to attack her opponents when they were unable to defend themselves.

I think that if Elaralith was actually harmed at all, she deserved it. It's about time somebody gets her for talking so much. Maybe instead of bringing a case to Lyrenzia for such an overall petty situation on her part, she should shut her mouth for a little while and think before she speaks.

I do not remember everything that was said but Elaralith was talking to alot of people at the same time basically giving some sort of preachings if you wish that were I belive not really directed at Tifareth who now wanted an apoligy. If the lady Elaralith really heard this or not I am unsure of as she was quite preoccupied, however shortly after she left and I went with her to the garden just west of the Silverstar shop.

I do remember that they did leave after a while. Before they left Elaralith had said to leave unless we are bloodthirsty. Finding this really rude and unfair because I just happened to show up and found some comfortortable shade from the wall, I refused to leave despite not being bloodthirsty at the time. After Elaralith left with Draakon, Tifareth did follow and I stayed by the cross with Cain, Paul, Armil and Crosis. Zerbus had already left.

The testimonies of Malinne are false, incomplete, and biased. As she herself has pointed out, she was not there for the duration of the event. Only the testimonies of Draakon Na' Kurtak who was there for the whole event should be considered as valid. Thank you for your time
~Elaralith, Priestess of Elara~


Paul, this is not the place to request for a trial of your own crimes.
