Ilyean Empire

The Ilyean Empire is a big deal. Seriously, big.

Judicial System
The Ilyean judicial system uses three methods to determine guilt: Trial by Ordeal, Trial by Combat, or the Question.

Trial by Ordeal
The accused must complete a task in or goal in order to prove their innocence. These tasks are usually dangerous or unpleasant and if the participant survives or accomplishes the task, he is proven innocent of his charges.

Trial by Combat
The accused may elect for trial by combat in order to prove his innocence. He or she must then defeat either his accuser or a champion decided at the time in one on one combat. If successful, the accused is proclaimed to be innocent of the charges levied against him.

The Question
Empire-sanctioned torture used to coerce a confession.
