The Stone Verdict Assembly is the highest judicial authority in Gravenreach, charged with interpreting, maintaining, and enforcing stone-law: a legal system bound to precedent, inscription, and resonance-stable judgment.

To the Assembly, law is not a living conversation but a structure that must not fracture. Every ruling becomes weight-bearing stone: altering or contradicting it risks collapse. As a result, Assembly members are selected through grueling legal trials that bind them permanently to precedent, stripping them of personal discretion once judgment is rendered.

Mercy is not absent from stone-law but it must be proven compatible with stability.
