"Hear ye hear ye, the Telador Ordinary Court of the Fifth District is now in session. God save this honorable Court!"
Bailiff Tamok thumps the gavel, and Judge Belken - wearing the traditional unadorned silver robes of a judge - takes his seat at the table. The audience sits in turn at the bailiff's gesture: a couple dozen litigants, maybe two journalists, a school class on field trip, and several less immediately-placeable spectators.
This's Telador's own Civic Palace - Telador is a decent-sized nation, and the Fifth District is headquartered in a decent-sized city. So, of course it has an appropriate mural on the wall behind the judge: Aurelian declaring the law (a symbolic tablet in his hand) with light shining on him from Heaven, with two History-Monks listening and writing. The rest of the room is plain, though, ready to be reused for lectures or debates - save one walled box for the occasional defendant who actually requires guards.
