Fragments from the Library of Deekka the Druidess
Volume IV: The Magistrate
transcribed by Themo Lock
published in the Year 401 After the Cataclysm
Introduction:
At the time of the Cataclysm, there lived a druidess named Deellaakkanavaakka the Just who maintained a great repository for text of all sorts concerned with justice. Reently, brothers Speale and Lonnacker of Holtrot, well-respected miners and archaeologists, have unearthed fragmentary texts from the ruins of The Library of Deekka, as the druidess was known for short. Scholars have been working to catalogue, transcribe and publish the newly rediscovered texts.
Fragment from a poem entitled "The Magistrate"
| Author: | Themo Lock |
(circa 600 Years before the Cataclysm)
- Magistrate Kust is righteous and just; his judgement is lawful and swift.
His grasp of the law, complete, without flaw, is his strength and natural-born gift.
Immune to disruption, beyond all corruption, his rulings are never in doubt.
He sees through all lies with his piercing blue eyes: all motives are always found out.
Be you peasant or noble, his process is global: no woman, man, child is exempt.
When called to the booth, you had best tell the truth, or find yourself charged with contempt.
Justice: his goal, he cares not for your soul, though you 'pologize, plead or repent.
The innocent: freed; the guilty will bleed, or to dungeon will surely be sent.
