Abbon delivers a brief closing statement.
"Iuz' only defense thus far has been a claim of good intentions -- that, somehow, taking the Regalia and using it for his own purposes was for Eclavdra's own good. These intentions, however, do not match his actions, as the speakers at this trial have clearly demonstrated. But further, we are not here to judge intent, for such truly lies beyond the scope of our knowledge; rather, we are here to judge actions, and Iuz' actions are clear."
"Should tragedy befall one of our nations, do we wish for our allies' first actions to be the impulsive looting of our most important sources of power? Do we really believe that the best stewards to our possessions are simply those who are there at the time, and have sufficient disregard of law to take them? When the Whispered One arrives, would you rather have at your side those powers who have shown themselves willing to fight on behalf of their allies, or those who have shown themselves to be mere opportunists, eager to thieve from their supposed allies at the very first distraction?"
"The Scarlet Brotherhood casts its vote: Iuz is guilty of treason."
