The Verdict for the Trial of Celestine Arkonen

.

Following the official Trial of Celestine Arkonen, a Cambion Witch of Atreylla, who willingly turned herself in to the Citadel for scrutiny of her crimes,

much as come to light throughout the trial that has denoted a GUILTY verdict.
.

"In standing trial for prior accusations, including -

Cambionism by the Atreyllans of Moonfall,

Pacting with one of the demons for a ring,

Receiving an accursed demonblade,

Signing a Grimoire to sell her soul,

Fighting alongside the Atreyllans for the Servant's Pearl in Delphina during Clementine's cleansing,

and Signing, either willingly or unwillingly, others into the Grimoire alongside Vollerei -

.

much more has come to light following Celestine's explanations, as well as information that had to be pried from her about certain aspects, namely the creation of her accursed ring.

.

In consideration of all listed accusations and hearing out Celestine's explanations to them, the signing of all individuals in the Grimoire has been collectively noted, some of which had swayed the verdict - many willingly signed their souls, with her willfulness to assist, despite describing her attempting to persuade those individuals away from doing so. While she described as being under duress with threats of death during some of these signings, she has admitted that others were not under duress.

.

Throughout, when requested to give explanation of the creation of her forged staff-turned demonblade and accursed ring, it was discovered from a witness during the trial that Celestine, alongside Lykon, Carmine, and Ilysander, forged the ring and performed two rituals for its product, pacting herself to the Abyssal Dragon - the Demon King. One of those rituals, as Celestine recounted, included the component of someone's life force - that being the life and sacrifice of Ray Virgo, also known as Aegis Man - as a result for the gain of the Ring.
She did not give this information willingly, as it had to be questioned - pried for - after bringing up the component.

.

With all said and done, the council of her Trial as voted a GUILTY verdict, sentencing her to death.

.

In defiance of this verdict, she has opted to indulge on the Blood of Morana, spilled from the events in the Valkyrie's deathly realm, and grow berserk to follow its inheritance.

.

In the midst of a short-lived battle, Celestine Arkonen has been killed by Exarch Eivor."
