NEW JUDGE ELECTED IN PADORN Primordia's capital has recently elected a new judge, in an effort to reform the legal system. Blue Du'Sonsa, an elven psionic, replaces the former judge Alhana FalconArm, an elven cleric of Rokoon. With the new judge comes a new set of laws and legal standards, all of which are readily available at the Padorn courthouse library. Padorn's legal system has been plagued by controversy ever since the infamous reign of Padorn Pickpocket Stomp le Gomp, whose notorious and well-known embezzlement had cost the court in excess of 1,000 platinum coins. In an effort to end corruption, then Master of the Rolls Bedwyr DiMalaEspina removed the vote box from the courthouse, and attempted to install a one-man "ruler" from the supposed Leflaklas house of nobility. These plans fell through, however, when public outcries by outraged citizens who had no say in the matter brought about an end to Leflaklas' reign. The matter was closed when Leflaklas himself defaulted on loan payments for his Padorn residence, while continuing to run his highly suspect and profitable trading empire, "House Haftam." When the vote box was finally returned, the legal system seemed to be operating successfully once more, under the supervision of such judges as Parsivale and Shiann. More recently, Alhana Falconarm was elected to continue the restoration and reform of Padorn's legal system. While getting off to a good start, more controversy ensued over her harsh policies against followers of certain deities, and questions over the borders of Padorn's jurisdiction. Eventually, the court succumed to a lack of activity and stagnation. Today, efforts to restore Padorn's frayed legal system are being led by Blue Du'Sonsa, the current elected judge of Padorn. Only time can tell, however, if the seemingly "cursed courts" of Padorn can really recover, and re-establish itself as a respected and working legal system of Xyllomer once more. reporting for the PaderNews, Rosencrantz
