Points of Interest

This trial marked the Chamber's first usage of the newly authored Dark Covenant (Original). Unlike the Dark Covenant of today, the original was basically a list of bylaws the club members had to abide by. Their creation directly lead to the "Articles of Conduct and Reprimand" listed in the current Dark Covenant. Therefore the use of this original set of rules by the Chamber is a direct precedent for the current Chamber's use of the updated Covenant. In addition, it can be said that this is the first time the Chamber of Justice prosecuted a member for insulting another member. This was one of the first times the Justicar was asked to decide whether the "banter" typical amongst members on IRC had gone too far - a situation that is very common today.
