Trial of Tr'eulie

==Overview==
The Provincial Court of the 14 Kingdoms trial of Tr'eulie was a major trial held in 280 AG. In 259 AG, Tr'eulie ascended to power following the deaths of her mother and sisters. Over twenty years later, Prince Tr'cupen discovered evidence that Eulie was responsible for their deaths. A delicate mission to bring Eulie to justice was overseen by Cupen and she was found guilty on charges of murder and treason.
== Details of charges ==
=== Murder ===
In order to become heir to the throne, Eulie organised for a carriage carrying her sisters, Essa and Ellia, be driven off the road and the passengers killed. The sisters died on impact and the crash was deemed an accident. 2 years later, Callie, their mother, threw herself from a tower in her grief.
While it was proven Eulie orchestrated the deaths of her sisters, it was only strongly believed she was involved in her mother's death
== Evidence against Tr'eulie ==
With the encouragement of Tr'cupen, Parlynval came forward to reveal the truth. Eulie murdered both her sisters to gain power for herself. Tr'marv, Eulie's husband had found out and demanded separation. This was when Marv told Lyn in order to be granted annulment. She had long feared the wrath of the ruling family and vowed to never speak of the truth. Not until she was convinced she was safe by Cupen.
For the trial, Cupen tracked down Marv and he backed up Lyn's statements. He had kept it all a secret to protect his daughter, Millian and to keep C'thardjia in balance. Following the testimony, Eulie now pleaded guilty to the murder of her sisters though insisted she had nothing to do with Callie's death.
== Evidence for Tr'eulie ==
While no evidence was made for Eulie, many loyal to her, such as Sir Bhn'tarsh and Sir Dotrem, attempted to defend her character and fruitful rule.
== Outcome ==
Strongly convinced by the evidence and testimony and then fully by Eulie's confession, she was found guilty. Despite her own statement, her character led the judges to find her guilty on all counts of murder. In killing members of the royal family she was also found guilty with Betrayal of the crown.
In C'thardjia, charges of murder were almost always followed by execution. At the request of Tr'cupen, Eulie was instead imprisoned for life.
