1714 True Believers case

Following a tipoff by the Commission for the Panopticon, Tribune Arshak tracked the activities of a group of recusants for weeks during the first two months of 1714 AN. The members of this group, known as the "True Believers", had been spreading their heretical beliefs throughout the city and undermining the authority of the bailiff.

Arshak had swiftly reached the conclusion that the True Believers were a dangerous and radical group, and he was determined to bring them to justice. He spent countless hours following their movements, gathering evidence and tracking their network of supporters.

Finally, after weeks of investigation, Arshak had enough evidence to make his move. He and his team of carnifex-magisters moved in to arrest the leaders of the True Believers, catching them by surprise and seizing their illegal literature and weapons.

The True Believers were brought before the guild's tribunal, where they were tried and found guilty of their crimes. Tribune Arshak personally oversaw their execution, ensuring that justice was served and the rule of law was upheld in Ardashirshahr.

In the aftermath of the investigation, Tribune Arshak was praised for his diligence and dedication to the guild. His success in bringing the True Believers to justice served as a reminder of the important role played by the tribunes in maintaining order and stability in the city.
