Chamber of Justice

May 2024 - Sivall Zoria

Sivall Zoria, born Zosi'val'ria, is a quiet and overall unassuming Chiss female from House Galeres of Clan Arcona. A Shadow with a medic focus, Sivall can be heavily neutral, but tends to lean more towards the light. Originally born on an unknown desert planet, she was sold to a human couple on Coruscant. After being abandoned, she was recruited into the brotherhood by Alexandyr Douve and quickly climbed the ranks to become one of the Houses' Aediles.

Sivall is a Chiss female that sports a lithe but proportionately feminine build. Sivall has a light musculature, which is more apparent in the legs than anywhere else. She has full, doe-like, eyes without pupils or irises that are a deep sanguine in color surrounded by long raven lashes.

The Justicar and his assistants operate independently from the rest of the Council. Impartial leaders of justice, they defend and interpret the Dark Covenant.

The Chamber of Justice is made up of the Justicar, his two assistants or Hands of Justice, and three members who serve on the Appeals Panel. The Chamber serves to protect the fun and safe environment the Brotherhood has established, and is run by the Justicar. The Justicar is second to no one with authority in the execution of justice.

Appeals Panel

The Appeals Panel examines all issues brought by appellants. The Panel consists of three active members selected from amongst the Clans. The Justicar holds a brief application and investigation period to obtain members who wish to participate and will be positive additions to the Panel. After the selections are made, the three Panel members will serve for six months, after which time another trio will be selected.

The appeals panel has a very specific jurisdiction - if the defendant or prosecution feels that an error has been made, he can write an appeal and present it to the Justicar, who will in turn bring it before the Appeals Panel. Appeals cannot be trivial in nature, and must specifically point to the error made. The appellant must find either a specific Covenant issue or judicial process error to have standing.
