The current administrative headquarters of the Ministry of Justice of the Deliberative, the Azure Court of Spider Lillies is perhaps one of the most aesthetically complex and geomantically refined masterpieces of occult architecture built since the foundation of the new Celestial Deliberative. Sitting in the political heart of the Imperial City itself, the sanctum of justice still nevertheless finds a way to be surrounded by high walls which hide most of its splendor from the sight of those who have no business standing within its hallowed halls. Behind the walls one would find nothing but a simple quay of stone with an elegant if not particularly massive boat waiting beside it for any passengers. The real eye-catcher however would be the widespread artificial lake which extends almost as far as mortal sight can go in all directions defying space and logic in an astonishing display of mystical engineering. Thousands of vivid crimson spider lillies grow from this pond of water nearly fifty years deep all the way to the manse proper itself, giving it the name for which it is most well known. As one would traverse the still waters forward they would feel the ominous watching presence of an invisible creature all around them which they cannot explain even as their instincts draw their sights toward the countless flowers floating wordlessly on the water. Could this be it? None know for sure, but the somewhat disturbing sight has been known to silence even the boldest fool into contemplative silence of what they are soon to witness.<br> | The current administrative headquarters of the Ministry of Justice of the Deliberative, the Azure Court of Spider Lillies is perhaps one of the most aesthetically complex and geomantically refined masterpieces of occult architecture built since the foundation of the new Celestial Deliberative.

| − | The Azure Court of Spider Lillies itself is a tall yet elegant structure which spreads wings of stone and alabaster painted azure and decorated with orichalcum and green jade over what might be an otherwise lush island but is almost completely occupied by the court, leaving barely enough space for another wharf for the boatman to leave their charges. Evidently eyes would be drawn toward the tall doors of raw orichalcum with scenes of justice and the holy nature of virtue carved upon the imperishable material for all to witness.

Evidently eyes would be drawn toward the tall doors of raw orichalcum with scenes of justice and the holy nature of virtue carved upon the imperishable material for all to witness. As the heavy doors would part to give way within the manse itself, one would be swamped into the bustling and noisesome life of the Ministry of Justice. Lesser bureaucrats and serving elementals running around in the service of the legal system of the entire Deliberative from even past the reception of the place where a polite but incorruptible Ifrit by the name of Rakal greets and guides all those who come to their proper place within this microcosm of perfect order. Past this reception rows upon rows of desk built into large stairs which go higher and higher into the depth of the manse are cut in half by the immense and long corridor leading past them. In this place the most urgent and important affairs of the Ministry of Justice are cared for by the greatest legal specialists and their wise and helpful fiery advisors.<br> |
At the end of the hallway there is nothing but a door of solid white jade which is otherwise featureless but for the symbol in Old Realm for the most divine of words that is 'Law'. Within the premise which it protects lies the courtroom of the Judge Supreme of the Deliberative where the most notable and complex legal affairs of the entire Deliberative are presided over by Imperative Harmony of Justice herself. Rows of Ifrits clad in shining armors of priceless jade and wielding lances of raw elemental fire casting intimidating light on the walkway toward the accused's box look over the vast affair that is this tribunal. High above all else sitting on the throne of unquestionable authority and ancient wisdom sits the presiding judge herself to hear the case at hand, banners on either side of her reading in High Realm the words as follow 'In this place, there shines only the light of Truth'. The words of an oracle and the order of a shining God-King indeed for those who can feel the power invested within these banners. Nevertheless the senior magistrate does not preside alone. She is almost at all time assisted by a Second Circle Demon which acts as bailiff in the current affair at her behest along with a pair of dragon-blooded or otherwise exceptional enlightened mortal scribes and lawyers who take note of everything and may help her with any point of law for which her vast and almost infaillible legal sagacity might fail. Furthermore there is a single chair in an high balcony which can only be reached by means unknown to most which is dedicated to any visiting Celestial Exalt guest whom would like to bear witness to the proceedings. Due to the authority invested upon the presiding judge however, only Celestial Exalts are welcome to do so and all others would have to contend with her polite but firm rejection of their request.<br> | At the end of the hallway there is nothing but a door of solid white jade which is otherwise featureless but for the symbol in Old Realm for the most divine of words that is 'Law'.

| − | On a night of black snow | + | On a night of black snow as tides of chaos stormed in waves of entropy from the lands of Chaos beyond the long pass in the mountains surrounding the Duchy of Ragarol to the East the sole magistrate and notary of the largest economical powerhouse of that small nation Katraya del Zyxay with his wife saw part to a most auspicious event as the astrologer would predict to them later. Smiling Harmony was born at once with both the sign of Change and the sign of Order, rare destiny of one who would impose order on that which had none. They called her Smiling Harmony for the small babe was indeed all smiles and what ill fate could such a pretty child inflict upon the world? Her order would certainly be harmony for all involved.<br> |

For as she grew she always did as her father wouldst. She did what was fair and just. She did what was humble and right. She did what was upright and righteous. For after all, sin and atonement are for lesser people who could only bear witness to the law. So many expectations weighting heavily on her shoulders, if she could not endure and bear this burden what would have come to pass? But that is only an hypothetical situation for as fate would have it she took to this role inflicted upon her with gusto.<br> | For as she grew she always did as her father wouldst.
