Achilles Trial

The famed "Achilles Trial" took place on the dates 25, 26, 27, and 35 December 401 IYE. Its purpose was to punish Achilles Sikus for theft.

Background
In early June Achilles had stolen food from the local Eldinshor tavern for the Aventuras Guild founding. The guards were collecting evidence from August-November and on the 14th of December, was arrested by the Eldinshor guards.

Prelude
On 14 December, Achilles was arrested by the guards and was taken to a local prison with an argonian inmate. Randalf Ellicor, the Delegate for Achilles' district, ordered him to be brought to Aregar for a Royal Trial.

The Trial
Tabloid coverage of the trial was set up for the 24th when Achilles entered, handcuffed, in a coach. The Fungirl's Print headline on the 25th, was "Awww, Badboy." King Erak was gentle on Achilles, as was Merrytimbers, but Robert Axelrod was tough on him, and on the 26th, told Achilles, "Idiot, skippy, nimrod, you could've bought the d---ed food." On the 27th, after the Crime Committee was called to a vote, an unknown guild and the Pied Piper assaulted the Assembly building and ransacked it. Achilles escaped in the confusion.

Achilles' Apprehension and the Second Phase of the Trial
At an unknown farming town south of Snowvale, guards apprehended Achilles after locals recognized him from wanted posters. He was thus brought back to Aregar, and on the 35th, after an end to Achilles' questioning, the Crime Committee voted 9-1, with 1 abstaining and 3 absent, to "keep confiscated property but acquit Achilles of other charges yet still but put him on probation."

Aftermath
Afterwards, tabloids, such as the Fungirl's Print, took pity (often romantic pity) on Achilles and used him to make loads of money.
