“The trial awaiting Helen was known among the Toltecs as a Kazil,
a special court convened to consider only those state crimes serious
enough to be punished by death. It consisted of a joint session of
the Kinshazen and the highest-ranking priests of the Temple of Kronos,
who were referred to as the Host of the Faithful.
A Kazil was always conducted at Kindred House, the building where
the members of the Kinshazen met. Its outer layer consisted of massive
blocks of polished pink granite, which had a decidedly dark cast to it.
Kindred House was closest to Lake Shambhala of all the structures in
the Nighthall government complex.
Those summoned before a Kazil and convicted of the charges were invariably put to death within three days of the proceeding. And in only a few, very rare, instances had anyone been found innocent on trial before a Kazil.”

“The power of one man’s imagination is infinite. The disinterest of the human race in facing the obvious, is exponentially far greater.”

“..enseignements qui lui serviraient à l’avenir :
Il faut toujours prendre soin de simplifier les enjeux, de faire preuve de souplesse, et de réagir vite.
Il ne sert à rien de monter les problèmes en épingle ni de se remplir l’esprit de peurs infondées.
En sachant déceler les signes annonciateurs de changement, on se prépare d’autant mieux à d’éventuels bouleversements.”
