Judiciary Council
The Myrken Wood Judiciary Council is the local governing body of Myrken Wood. Although the Council is technically supposed to answer to the Trae Kelsan Crown, it has been granted a significant amount of autonomy. The Council is chaired by a quaint number of selected officials, is comprised of the land's independent lawmakers. While Myrken Wood is considered to be the heart of the Amasynian province, expansion into local government was found to be necessary.
The Council, meeting at scheduled times each week, hears and decides on a great number of Myrken Wood's land laws. In addition to governing the woodland, the jurisdiction allows that the Judiciary (and his council) may deliver sentences of punishment for those who do not abide all governing laws.

Procedure
While its primary concerns are for matters associated with taxation, properties and funding, the council will hear all proposals of its citizens. Queries will be answered in scheduled order at all public meetings, and concerns addressed. Judgements will be won by popular vote of all seated councilors.
In the event that the council is without decision, the Judiciar will determine the outcome of any number of public concerns.
The Council also functions as both judge and jury, in cases of lawlessness. Council-appointed barristers may represent any who fall under Myrken Wood jurisdiction, unless a person wishes to represent himself or herself. A trial for conviction may be necessary if all parties responsible for the mistreatment of justice do not concur.
Any person(s) responsible for the purposeful misuse or abuse of Myrken Wood law will be tried, without question, and potentially convicted by the Judiciar.
