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. The work of the tribunal was abruptly terminated by the Elwynnese occupation of West Amokolia in 1685, while the building itself was subjected to a controlled demolition in that same year. Archival materials recovered from the tribunal were subsequently transferred to Eliria for their planned incorporation into a new museum within the precincts of the People's Academy celebrating the Auspicious Occasion of 1651.

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.

Chamber of Judges

The judges appointed are persons of high moral standing, who are impartial and with integrity for appointment to the highest positions in the judiciary of the Froyalan Tribunal. 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.

Prosecutor's Office

The Prosecutor is the head of the Prosecutor's Office. The Prosecutor's Office is the investigation office of the Tribunal, for possible support, the Prosecutor's Office works with the Frankish authorities. The prosecutor can start an investigation at the request of the Frankish government, based on a declaration or proprio motu.

Eva von Babenberch was appointed as Prosecutor on 16.VIII.1680 AN. She was already an interim prosecutor at the start of the first investigations.

Criticism

The majority of Benacian powers disputed the suggestion that the death of fifty-eight million Froyalaners during the liberation and decolonisation struggle began by the Auspicious Occasion represented a crime, indeed in several of those countries the accomplishment was celebrated as a high feast day. Moreover, for critics of the Froyalan Tribunal, even among those who accept the notion that eradicating an entire population might be considered an untoward act, the Prosecutor's fixation upon remedying historical slights against the Storish House of Ettlingar-Freyu with a view to affirming a claim to the abolished Throne of Elwynn seems an instance of questionable prioritisation that called the court's impartially wholly into question.

As of 1681, no other power other than Frankia and Stormark have acknowledged the authority of the Tribunal, rendering its verdicts highly controversial. Due to the highly skewed nature of the constitution of the court, the verdicts were widely anticipated to be critical of the Auspicious occasion and in support of the Vanic government of Elwynn.
