As the day draws to a close, the council of nobles reaches a verdict. Eldritch Knight is arrested and brought to trial. With peasant and noble alike calling for his blood, he has little hope of winning the trial. As he is led off to his execution, one of the peasants he grew up with, heretic, begins to regret his part in the trial. He runs after Eldritch Knight and tries to free him, but he is quickly slain by the imperial troops.
As the imperial soldiers clear the houses of the dead, they find no evidence of treachery. These men were innocent peasants, not the rebellious murderers the people had been searching for.
Night falls on a city still threatened by murderous rebels.
((Synopsis: Both noble and peasant courts selected Eldritch Knight. Eldritch Knight and heretic, the lovers, have been slain. Night ends at 11:30 PM EST on Friday, March 23. Please send me your actions by then.))
((Oh, and heretic...why did you vote for your own lover? ))
