Apionnas glances at the Basileos for just a second before standing.

Given the lack of decorum and subversion of the Basileos authority and elegant solution, I'd recommend straight forward banishment to some god forsaken part of the world. Something that would seem quite appropriate given the circumstance. That or being buried to the neck is sand and who ever is alive after 5 days takes the province.

Failing that, lets simply do it the old fashioned way.

Each noble makes his case here in the Magnaura before the Basileos.

Then let him decide. End of story.
