The building of the Froyalan Tribunal

The Froyalan Tribunal was established in 1674 AN on the initiative of the Frankish emperor. This was heard in the speech at the unveiling of the Froyalan monument "Valfreyja". After the organization was set up and the initial inventory of the extent of the crimes, it became clear that the Froyalan Tribunal had a major job to do.

In 1677 AN the government decided to build a special building. The building for the Froyalan Tribunal was delivered in 1680 AN and opened by the Kaiser. The "Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard" was re-established by the Frankish government to guard the building and the staff of the Froyalan Tribunal.

The Froyalan Tribunal started with the legal proceedings on 16.VIII.1680 AN.

Structure

The Froyalan Tribunal is an independent judicial body that is independent of the judiciary in the Frankish Empire. The jurisdiction of the tribunal is focused on the Froyalanish genocide.

The judges form the Chamber of Judges, from which at least three judges are appointed for each case. A judgment is prepared by the entire Chamber of Judges, in which the three appointed judges have the most important share.

Investigations and prosecutions

Not all ongoing investigations are known. In addition, the question is whether every investigation will be prosecuted.

The case of Villy

“All rise ... this tribunal is now in session. The honourable judge Böhmer presides” The attendees stand up and the three judges come in. When these take place, the presiding judge Böhmer invites the attendees to sit down. "Contrary to what was determined at the hearing, I want to give Villy Esposito the opportunity to make an opening statement," Judge Böhmer begins. Villy stands up: “Thank you, your honourable gentleman. It is hard to say because of the consequences that this has. But after my liberation from Raspur, I can only tell the truth from my deep gratitude for the Kaiser. He used his diplomatic means to free 166,328 Froyalaners, including myself. I was mentioned by name and by name in the Treaty of Mittlere Stadt. The Kaiser had to give up territory of the Frankish Empire for this. "

A deep sigh follows, as he further declares: “But for the sake of honesty, I must admit that I am an impostor. My real name is Travis Barrett." A wave of disbelief passes through the courtroom, the judge urges everyone to silence, "Please, continue." "Thank you," Travis said, clearing his throat. “I was a vagabond who roamed around Goldshire. There I was approached by someone from the Dark Orchid Society, but I didn't know that at the time.”

“The Dark Orchid Society was a terrorist organization, right? ”, The judge asked. “Yes, that organization would have been defeated by Kaiser Dominus Tarjeisson, but was continued in secret. That is why the organization reappeared during the Froyalanish Genocide. I don't think it's impossible that the organization still exists.” Travis coughed. “Your honourable judge, that organization has recruited me because of my resemblance to the crown prince: Vilhjálm Daniel Gudrödar Ayreon-Kalirion af Ettlingum Freyum ibn al-Majeed bin Sathrati of Waffel-Paine. The crown prince was abducted by the Dark Orchid Society, so I met him at a medical clinic in Raspur. There, operations were performed, plastic surgery, to make me look completely like the crown prince. I have not seen the crown prince since that meeting."

“The king of Elwynn had already been banished when I returned to Elwynn. There I was transferred to the custody of the Imperial Forces and the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC). The SLORC acknowledged after examination that I was a ‘callow youth with no daemonic taint’. I was regularly given medical junk, which prevented me from thinking clearly. It was said that I needed that medical mess because of the plastic surgery. I was mainly concerned with alcohol, drugs and whores. I ascended the Elwynnese throne as a king, but was primarily a drug-addicted puppet.”

There was a buzz in the room, because so much information was revealed in a short time. The judge urged everyone to silence and asked Travis: "Do you want to continue?" But Travis was shaking and emotionally excited. The judge took a 15-minute break. Travis then continued: “I was forced to sign decisions, but I also learned that decisions were signed in my name with my forged signature. For example, I was forced to appoint King Ryker Everstone of Goldshire, Jeremy Archer and Heath Belledin as members of the Council of Eliria. They had the actual power over Elwynn. "

After a tragic silence in the room, Travis continued. “Then came the imperial decree to castrate all Froyalaners. The outside world was told that I was voluntarily undergoing castration, but in reality I was of course no Froyalaner. My castration was not voluntary, I was drugged and became unconscious. After I woke up I had become eunuch. Then I realized that they were spared nothing and I would soon die. I have made several suicide attempts, but they still needed me. They let me sign a new constitution, which abolished kingship. For a moment I became a prince until I was replaced."

“It was stated in my name that I would be a loyal subject of the Kaiser under King Ryker Everstone. I de facto became the property of the king. In 1656 I was forced to file a petition to have Thorstein Noah of the Houses of Waffel-Paine, Ayreon-Kalirion, and Ettlingar Freyu and Noor as-Salaam bint Daniyal Umra Suleiman Ayreon-Kalirion ibn al-Majeed al-Osman bin Sathrati Umm Zahir al-Din of Waffel-Paine marriage annulled. The Senate of Elwynn has done the same. In the same year, King Ryker Everstone went into a coma, I was used as an operating system to inherit the consciousness of the king. A certain amount of surgical intervention, cranial augmentation, and neural grafting was performed for this. I was detained at Augur Industries research centre located in Kingsgate."

Weeping, Travis completed his statement: “On the day I was released from the Raspur area, out of the clutches of my oppressors, I was treated as a human again for the first time in years. My deep gratitude to the Kaiser for being so kind. The Kaiser knew that I am an impostor, but still wanted to free me.” For a moment he stopped, fighting his emotions. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The judge thanked Travis and gave the floor to the prosecutor Eva von Babenberch. “Thank you, your honourable judge. As appears from the statement by mr. Barrett, I want to confirm that our research shows that he is telling the truth here. I would like to call a number of witnesses to confirm this statement."

"May I call: Vilhjálm Daniel Gudrödar of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja ibn al-Majeed bin Sathrati" Noise was heard in the room. Vilhjálm stood up, apparently he had been in the room all along. Travis looked surprised, and Eva asked Vilhjálm: "Can you confirm your identity?" "Yes, here I compared my birth certificate and also a DNA analysis of my DNA with family members," Vilhjálm replied. asked further: "What happened on the day you were abducted." Vilhjálm said: "I was drinking with a good friend, but he turned out not to be my good friend at all. He had apparently put some drugs into my drink. That's how I was kidnapped. I arrived in a plane, but they had tied me up ".

"I was treated in a kind of clinic. I don't know what they did exactly. It was painful. When I was relocated again, I was freed by a military unit. Since then I have lived in Stormark. I heard that there was a cheater under my name was King of Elwynn. The High Court of Stormark had decided not to interfere with Elwynn. That would be a pointless mission, so I have not raised the threat earlier. "

"Thank you," said Eva. "Your honourable judge, without Travis Barret's statement, I would have asked the prosecutor for imprisonment. But the statement, along with the testimony statement, I would ask you to agree to Travis Barret's placement in the witness protection program."

Judge Böhmer suspended the hearing and consulted his fellow judges. The session was reopened after a short time. "The tribunal has come to a judgment: identity fraud is very serious, Mr. Barret. You have acted as Vilhjálm. However, you have already experienced a lot of pain and punishment. We do not wish to punish you anymore. So we ask the Frankish government to to place yourself in the witness protection program so that you can live safely and reasonably comfortably. In addition, you can provide this tribunal with crucial information. Do you agree with this statement, Mr. Barret? "

"Yes, Your honourable judge," Travis replied. "That is how it will be," Judge Böhmer concluded.

The annulled marriage between Noah and Noor

“All rise ... this tribunal is now in session. The honorable judge Lothar presides ”The attendees stand up and the three judges come in. When these take place, the presiding judge Lothar invites the attendees to sit down. “The case for the annulment of the marriage of Thorstein Noah Hallbjörnsson of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja and Noor as-Salaam bint Daniyal Umra Suleiman Ayreon-Kalirion ibn al-Majeed al-Osman bin Sathrati Umm Zahir al-Din. Can the Prosecution open the case? "

"Please, Your Honourable Judge," replied Eva von Babenberch. “The case about the annulment of this marriage is complex on the one hand, because of the implications it has, but on the other hand very simple. Therefore the primary question is: did the Elwynnese Senate have the jurisdiction to annul the marriage?"

"To answer that question, I want to present the marriage contract to the tribunal." Eva hands over a certified copy of the marriage contract.

Then she continues: "As you can see, the marriage contract is based on Storish law, as is also apparent from the corresponding ‘Instrument of Consent to Matrimony’. Marriage termination would be possible under Article 10 of the marriage contract, but neither the contract nor the Storish law give room for annulment."

“The Elwynnese Senate's annulment is on petition from impostor Travis Barrett, who at the time presented himself as Vilhjálm Daniel Gudrödar. I have the certified copy of this petition here. As well as a copy of the handling of this petition in the Elwynnese Senate” Eva hands these documents to the judge.

• [4]

“It appears from these documents that the marriage was concluded under Storish law. But it was annulled by the Elwynnese Senate. The Elwynnese Senate has no jurisdiction to judge the Storish law. I would also like to inform the tribunal that the annulment took place after the death of Noor as-Salaam bint Daniyal Umra Suleiman Ayreon-Kalirion ibn al-Majeed al-Osman bin Sathrati Umm Zahir al-Din. The motivation to still annul the marriage is perhaps not for legal reasons, but for political considerations.”

"Your honourable judge," Eva continues, "After all these documents, I want to call a witness." The judge said, "You may." "May I call, Thorstein Noah Hallbjörnsson of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja," said Eva. Noah comes forward and said: “Thank you, Your Honourable Judge. My appreciation goes to this Tribunal, regardless of the verdict. Because this Tribunal wants to investigate further the judgment of the Elwynnese Senate and I am welcome to testify here. The latter was different when the Elwynnese Senate dealt with the petition of the impostor Travis Barrett. In blessed memory of my deceased wife, Noor, it hurts me that the trial continued after the coup. The annulment by the Elwynnese Senate has never been acknowledged by me, but has until now been regarded as truth outside of Stormark. My hope is that you, in your wisdom, decide that my marriage to my beloved Noor is not void.”

"Thank you for your words, also thanks to the prosecutor," the judge decided. Judge Lothar adjourned the hearing and consulted his fellow judges. The session was reopened after a short time. "The tribunal has come to a judgment: the marriage contract of the marriage between Noah and Noor is based on Storish law. This means that the petition to and annulment by the Elwynnese Senate is unlawful, because the Elwynnese Senate has no jurisdiction over Storish law. The annulment of the marriage of Noor and Noah is illegal end therefore null and void."
