	~~'''TRIAL BY COMBAT IS BEING REPLACED, PLEASE CHECK BACK'''~~

	Each Faction has the right to punish and reward its own members as they see fit. This tends to be administered by Ambassadors (who are NPCs) or their appointed representatives (who may be PCs). Punishments tend to include fining the offender their pay for several weeks, putting them under the parole of a senior faction member, banning them from Rituals with other Agents, etc. Rewards might be money, equipment or the authority to call in NPC backup, skills or resources.

	Judges set the sentence, ~~and if~~ they feel a Wrongful Accusation was justified but ultimately incorrect, they may make the punishment much less severe.

The sentence chosen is the first one that 2 Judges agree on. If they do not agree in '''2 minutes''', the default punishment applies:
			*Petty Crime - 32D fine
			*Capital Crime - Wounding (breaking of a hand is typical)
			*High Crime - Execution of the culprit.
