September 16th, O.P. XXIV
VISITOR
The Court had an unexpected visit by long-time Companion, Magus Fangorn
Flynneral.  Also known as the Crimson Avenger, Magus Fangorn had come to
the Court to pay his respects, as well as to witness the trial of Magus
Kao, who had been arrested on two counts of assassinating a fellow
Companion the week before.

TRIAL
Most of the Court's time this week was taken up by the trial of Magus Kao
for the assassination of Damsel Zerlina and Sirrah Dartholomew.  Both
sides presented their cases, and in the end, it was discovered that there
was an assassin in the lands who bore a striking resemblence to Kao.  The
body of this assassin, as well as the body of Sirrah Kuttiterror (whom he
had presumably slain), was discovered outside the abode of Damsel Zerlina
the weekend after Kao was arrested.  Since Kao was in the dungeon and
under heavy guard all weekend (and did not die at all during this time,
unlike the assassin), Sirrah Dartholomew decided to drop the charges.

VOX ISLANDS
Sir Mudd, the Grand Knight of the Charter, and Duke Alanna, the Premier,
returned to Court after an expedition to the Vox Islands.  Exactly how the
pair was able to reach the islands was unclear, as all previous attempts
by Warwickians to do so have failed.  The pair reported that the dark
cloud known as Nemesis and it's legions of leather-clad demon warriors was
in place on the islands.  Leading these legions was a large black
demon-golem that was apparently Lacon Vox, a golem who has been giving the
Court of Warwick trouble for some time now.  This description matches with
a similar tale told by Sir Aeric last season, when he travelled to the
Forest of Rowe in the north to discover that Lacon was bargaining with
Nemesis and considering merging itself with the demon-golem.  Apparently
the deal was struck.  What this means for the Eleven Lands is yet unknown.

URIEL ORDAINING
Following the events of Court, the Companions egressed to the melee field
where Magus Kao was ordained as a Druin of the Mandala in the Sacred Order
of Uriel.
