Nick Brooke thinks that Moonson would be a more appropriate cult to
oversee the administration of Lunar justice in the western reaches
than would Irripi Ontor. I guess I was thinking of Irripi Ontor in
the same way that Dunham et al think of Lhankor Mhy, as the
lawspeaker and voice of wisdom in society. Lemme think. I believe
that the caste law courts have vizirs acting as legal counsel with a
karmanos acting as judge. That makes sense. Now to the Lunar case.
Here's some alternatives.
- Lunar Courts in Carmania have a Red Moon or Moonson priestess, or
her appointed representative, presiding with educated Lunar Citizens
acting as legal counsel on both sides.
- Lunar Courts in Carmania have a two tier system, with a inquisitor
or investigator from the temple of Irripi Ontor taking on first tier
problems, and those important issues that cannot be resolved through
investigation and inquisition going to a formal trial of seven
jurors, all Lunar Citizens, with the chief juror being a priestess of
Moonson or the Red Moon.
