ROLEPLAY

2nd AC 2549
Far more exciting was the second cycle. Nung Horongi could be caught in the Witherings. I personally did not know him before, but a Sage of the Zorai said, that he was the former master of Muang and that he probably was in cahoots with him, concerning the murder of Still Wyler. Of course our Governor has campaigned immediately for the extradition of this Zorai, and although members of the marauders and the Black Circle have tried to free him on the way, we could bring him safely to Fairhaven, where he will be put on trial.

3rd AC 2549
Then there was Nung, who was incarcerated by us. We have appointed Biggy to investigate. Because there was the suspicion that Nung Horongi was somehow responsible for the murder on our old governor Still Wyler. Biggy really worked flat out even if the investigations were not easy. It took nearly the whole cycle until some information was gathered. But the actual trial was not until later.

4th AC 2549
Nung kept us busy in the next cycle as well... to begin with Biggy, on the mandate of the Taliari Council, was allowed to question Captain Ulyros, who back then was in charge of the investigations after the murder of Still Wyler. The actual act was committed by a Matis woman named Marder, but when she was caught she shot herself in the head with her damned Goo-ammunition. I myself was present when she was apprehended back then.
After some pumping for information Nung finally spoke. He must have lived a long time with the Black Circle and developed this Goo-ammunition there. So, without him this ammunition wouldn't exist! And to the question, why Still Wyler, he said that he was the logical target, because he is a symbol for peace and he ties the rulers together. Dexton and Yrkanis wouldn't have been logical, because they were supposed to go at war at each other later. And Mabreka probably would have become a martyr. Nung said the chief of the Black Circle and Muang were in disagreement, but Nung tipped the scales. Thus he is definitely partly guilty!

Des rumeurs le prétendait capable de manipuler les Kitins, de se téléporter sans pacte, et même d'avoir un pouvoir semblable aux Puissances sur la vie et la mort. Lui et son frère Nung auraient fait partie de la Compagnie de l'Arbre Eternel d'après Yi Be-Pian et une affirmation de Marung lui-même.

Historique

2532 : Après avoir fait empoisonner le Gouverneur Still Wyler par son frère Nung lors de la signature du Traité des Quatre Peuples, il réclama aux enquêteurs des fragments d'un cube d'ambre qu'ils allèrent chercher auprès de différentes tribus comme la Sève sacrée, les Amazones Matis, les Embourbés, le Cercle Noir, les Chlorogoos, les Tuteurs, les Contrebandiers, la Compagnie de l'Arbre Eternel, les Sèves Sèches, les Matisagoo, les Illuminés, les Maîtres de la Goo et les Antekamis. Il s'avérera plus tard que le cube d'ambre renfermait un Rapport de Pei-Zao à Melkiar sur la Goo.

2548 : À la mort de Marung Horongi, Nung profèra des menaces à l'encontre du Grand Masque Mabreka Cho. Il fut arrêté et condamné par la Théocratie pour manipulation et recherches sur la Goo et pour complot contre la Dynastie de Cho. Lors de son procès fédéral pour meurtre, il s'évada avec l'aide des Maraudeurs et rejoignit les troupes d'Akilia Tempête de Cendres. Il mourut lors de la bataille de la Source Cachée.

1st AC 2550
The imperative was to find judges for the Nung trial. After some discussion we came to agree to the following persons:

• Zorai judge: Sartyrica
• 1st Taliar judge: Xrijan
• 2nd Taliar judge: Dachsli
• Homin judge: Stiara
• Citizen judge: Reeth

We wanted to include the Zorais and the Trykers, because they are the affected peoples. One independent Homina as representative for the remaining peoples (here Stiara as a Matis living in Fyros seemed fitting to us). And finally two Taliari, because after all it is the Tryker people who perform the trial and it is our jurisdiction. Governor Ailan left the adjudication completely to us, because she said of herself that she would be too prejudiced, more than other Trykers, because of her close personal relationship to Still Wyler (in whose murder Nung was directly involved after all).

2nd AC 2550
The judgment against Nung Horongi! The trial was tough, but it brought many things to the light of day. You couldn't shake off the feeling that Nung knew more about Atys than each one of us homins from the New Lands. That with him we have a piece of truth sitting in front of us, even if corrupted to the bone. Nung is a murderer, an unscrupulous murderer, but he is not a liar. In the best case he is exaggerating, but I believe he knows a piece of the truth.
"Appointed judges, Vice-Governor and attending homins
We came together today to judge the delinquencies of Nung Horongi. As ordered prosecuter I will now read the charges again and thereafter demand a sentence. The charges, based upon the testimony of Nung Horongi in front of many witnesses, are the following:
Nung is accused to have prepared and cooperated in a murder of ulterior motives.
Nung Horongi is charged to have planed the malicious murder of Still Wyler together with Muang and to have it executed by an assasin of the Black Circle. The murder was done with ulterior motives, since both merely searched, without further reason and in an inhomin way, a target to test a weapon.
The weapon which was created by Nung and Muang, has to be considered against the nature of Atys and the devine order, both from the Kami and the Karavan. Also Nung neither showed remorse nor did he see reason. He, therefore, still must be viewed as a danger to all homins on Atys.
For this reason I, as prosecuter, demand the following sentence and will present some thoughts thereto.
I hereby demand to keep him in solitary confinement until the end of his life.
Considerations for this punishment:
We can exert the severest punishment for a homin with the character traits of Nung Horongi, because the severest punishment for a such a self-centred, arrogant homin would be to let him fall into oblivion: to extinguish him from memories and to eliminate him from the history books.
Also a death sentence is not possible, since he would surely use the chance of ressurection, which Nung has denied his victims perfidiously, and we are not capable to create such a weapon, and I for one would refuse to use it.
Likewise to simply dump him into the Goo is not an option, since Nung knows this stuff too well and could use it to escape.
Therefore, and given his age, a confinement. This confinement should be here in the Lake Lands, best in a chamber under water. In the Prime Roots we discovered during his transport, that he gained strength again there, and we have to expect similar in the proximity of Goo. Surrounded by clear water he should be unable to draw strength from unholy sources.
Thus far the charge from my side."
After the reading of the charges, Dachsli slapped Nung, which broke of a piece of the old Zorai's mask. This has lead to an outrage. I could not blame him for it, but I would not have done it.
The judges deliberated for a long time. There were actually those, like Xrijan, who pled for not guilty! There we have one of the greatest Goo manipulators, whose research probably caused the final death of dozens of homins, one whose goal it is to sow war and to plunge the New Lands into chaos ... and we should not find him guilty?
The judges passed following judgement:
"We, the judges, find the accused Nung Horongi not guilty of the murder on Still Wyler. However, due to the collaborative incitement to carry out the assassination of Still Wyler, the accused is sentenced to a house detention of 5 years. This has to take place on the sovereign territory of the state New-Trykoth. The actual murder could not be proven against the accused. None of the interogations has found a single piece of evidence for it. The accused however admitted the incitement and the selection and for this he has to be punished."
The judgment was sound in my opinion. He was already sick and will die soon. I don't want the Federation to sully itself with blood. A murder cannot be atoned with another murder, an error not corrected with a previous error. But that he is supposed to be not guilty of the murder, this wording is hard to bear. Even if he has "only" incited, he is guilty of the murder.
Nung's last words in public were the following: "I have nothing to say about the verdict. But since it's probably the last time that I see the sky, there is something I want to say. Since I can think, I have occupied myself with the things that surround me. Soon I won't be there anymore, wherever this last journey might take me. But the homins that continue to live on Atys ... I fear the times that are coming will not be easy. Be glad that there is Goo. It is probably the only thing that can stop that what you call Ma-Duk. Fear the happiness. You don't know what grows beneath your feet and gets stronger every day! There is nothing more to say."
Nung died two cycles later in Fairhaven from old age. He was exactly 130 years of Jena old. The last who has spoken to him in his cell was Salazar.

3rd AC 2550
A quiet cycle, after all we deserved a break after the excitement about Nung. The Zorais wanted to put Nung on trial too, but Nung evaded this. He died at the beginning of the cycle in a cell in Fairhaven. We agreed to bring his ashes to Zora. During the trial he said that it drew him to Zora, to spend his last days near his people. Even if Nung was a criminal and a crazy person ... at least his ashes should rest among his people.

Kamia'ata, Weiser Supplice,

Wir haben erfahren, dass Eure Entdeckung eines Teils des Tagebuches von Marung Horongi etliche Erleuchtete interessiert hat. Wie Ihr vielleicht wisst, war Marung eine Zeitlang als Schüler in unserer Gemeinschaft. Es fügt sich, dass er bei uns einen Teil seines Tagebuches zurückgelassen hat, das wir an einem sicheren Ort aufbewahren.

Als wir von Eurem Interesse an diesem Thema erfuhren, haben wir beschlossen, diesen Abschnitt der Theokratie anzutragen.

Wir werden Euch in unserem Lager im Nexus am 1h - Quinteth, Folially 5, 1. AZ 2584 erwarten, damit Ihr es sicherstellen könnt. Diesen Zeitpunkt erwartend werden wir es an dem geheimen Platz behüten.

Mata waki, ochi kami no.

Be-Pian Biani
Anführer der Gemeinschaft des Ewigen Baumes

Quarta, 12. Germinally, 1. AZ 2481

Eine Horde chitingepanzerter Kreaturen ist über das das Land hergefallen. Sie hinterließen nichts als Tod und Verwüstung und halten nun direkt auf Zoran zu. Hoï Cho hat entschieden, dass wir alle fliehen müssen. Wie kann er solch ein Feigling sein? Wir müssen uns ihnen entgegenstellen, standhalten, mit all unserem Wissen und unserer Magie! Die Hominheit muss siegen! Wir dürfen nicht fliehen und unsere Stadt, unser Land und unsere Werte preisgeben!

Bei den Kami, wie konnte ich mich so in Hoi Cho irren? Er hat die Flucht gewählt, dieser Feigling, dieser Verräter! Und er zieht alle Zoraï mit sich... Lasst ihn ziehen, aber wir, der ganze Rest von uns, müssen bleiben! Wenn sie nur auf mich hören würden, zusammen könnten wir diese Insekten zurücktreiben ins Nichts der Tiefen, wo sie herkamen! Hoi Cho, Du bist verabscheuenswürdig, Deine Dynastie verdient kein Vertrauen! Niemals wieder werde ich Dir folgen!!

Ich werde gehen und mit Mao-Lung reden, dem Anführer der Gemeinschaft des Ewigen Baumes. Er wird mir gewiss zuhören, ich bin sicher.

Quinteth, 13. Germinally, 1. AZ 2481

Mao-Lung ist nicht besser als die anderen ... Sei es! Sollen sie alle gehen! Ich werde hier bleiben!

Quarta, 18. Germinally, 1. AZ 2481

Diese Tiere, die aus den Tiefen gekommen sind, säen Verwüstung, wo sie hinkommen. Ich habe mehrere Dörfer durchquert, und jedesmal zeigt sich meinen Augen die selbe Szene des Grauens, in der zerfetzte Körper und leblose Blicke, verzerrt von Schrecken und Pein, die Hauptrolle einnehmen. Überall erfüllt der Gestank des Todes meine Sinne, und das bedrückende Schweigen treibt die überlebenden Homins in den Wahnsinn.

Bei den Kami, das darf nicht sein! All diese leblosen Körper, all meine toten Brüder, sinnlos gestorben wegen der Feigheit ihrer Führer! Wir hätten uns alle zusammenschließen müssen, vereint gegen diese Monster, die aus den Eingeweiden der Rinde heraufgestiegen sind! Die Magie kann uns den Sieg geben, bin ich denn der Einzige, der dessen gewahr ist? Ich weiß zwar nicht genau, wie, aber es ist meine feste Überzeugung..
Ich versuche die wenigen lebenden Zoraï, denen ich begegne, davon zu überzeugen, mit mir hier zu bleiben, aber sie hören nicht auf meinen Aufruf zum Widerstand, zu sehr damit beschäftigt, zu fliehen .. zu fliehen, wie es ihnen ihr Großer Weiser empfohlen hat.
