Clemency

Any officially recognised Priest, or representative of the Churches of the Land, may argue for clemency on behalf of the accused if they believe that their crime was an act of fervour, worship or upholding of the Tenets.

For clemency to be accepted, the accused must accept responsibility and guilt for their crime. The accused will be punished accordingly still, but their punishment may be reduced.

Pleas of clemency must be made by the associated Priest, and will be taken into consideration when the judging parties declare the punishment for the crime.
