Judiciary Ward

One of the twenty districts that make up the city of Valinova. It is ranked fourth in terms of affluence.
== Description ==
The Judiciary Ward is the place where law is passed and carried through. Though the word of the empress is absolute, the Judiciary have power to shape the rules that govern Valinova on most matters below her vision. The Judciary is backed directly by the crown, and in many respects, is intrinsically laced with the city’s military and guard. There are several Lawgivers that meet to discuss policy, as well as oversee criminal trials and other legal officiating duties of higher profile. They hold court in the Jurisprudence Hall, the largest building of the district, which stands tall and proud with history and rough, dark granite walls. Many clerks work for the Judiciary, filling out paperwork, speaking to citizens, and whatever work the Lawgivers and Lawguides deem needed. The buildings in this area are generally sleek and lack frills, with the divine Jarkosta emblazoned around to a staggering degree. A darkness fills the area with the copious amounts of dark stone and lack of any plant growth save the thickets of vines cascading down several of the building’s sides. Few come here without need, and guards watch the area closely at all times. The North end of the ward brushes up against Neverlight Prison within the Novasar Stronghold, a large double layered gate and moat between them that only opens for the transportation of criminals.
