Tribunal restriction barring adjutants from aiding a warlord or summoning his guards, even as he dies.

The warlord from The Madness does not move, staring at Carl instead — letting his co-conspirator die and inherit him every The Lemig Sortion asset. Victory also warns that if the quorum stays much longer they'll have to deal with a new adjudication, another procedural constraint that drives the ruling to be rushed.
