Trial of Elaina
Miscon 2010
Two hour Live-Action Game
Seven main players, as many more as want to play.
Elaina
Sortina arrived in the Empire of Denzar teaching the ways of Rae, the
God of the Sun, the ways of nobility, virtue and honor. She challenged
all she met to find something greater inside themselves on the path of
light.
The Corminn Church, God of the Sky, and official religion
of the Denzari empire was not happy with this turn of events, even less
happy that some would turn away from their large churches and ponderous
ceremonies to listen to such a prophet. They arrested for being a
heretic and sent her to be beheaded.
But the son of the Emperor
had other thoughts - having listened and fallen in love with Elaina, he
begged his father to pardon her. In an unpopular move, the Emperor
declared that there must be a trial to determine Elaina's fate,
appointing three judges, including the Archbishop of the Corminn church
and appointing his son to defend Elaina.
Now the fate of a lady, a religion, and perhaps an Empire fall upon three judges and one day.
The Game Mechanics -
Seven players will take on the roles of Elaina, her imperial defender, the church appointed inquisitor, the three powerful judges that will ultimately decide her fate, and the Lord High Justice responsible for ensuring the trial runs smoothly.
Any other players (and observers) will get to watch from within the courtroom, perhaps having secret allegiances or secret powers that they might use to help manipulate the verdict - and any other secret agendas.
The trial will proceed be as follows:
- High Lord Justice will read the crimes of the accused
- Inquisitor's opening arguments to the judges
- Defender's opening arguments to the judges
- Brief recess for judges to deliberate
- Judge's remarks
- Brief recess
- Inquisitor's closing arguments
- Defender's closing arguments
- Final recess for deliberation
- Judge's verdict
The judge's vote will be considered final and the punishment - of death - will either be executed at the close of the trial - or Elaina will go free.
