The Directorate appealed the board result nine days after the capital spine opened.
It did not appeal the charter, the arrest, or the ownership finding anywhere. Every one of those had been published, certified, and read into the national record already.
What it appealed was one placement on a national board under live measurement. A surviving deputy filed it on behalf of an office that no longer had a marshal.
The argument in it was narrower than anybody in the confederacy had expected.
It did not claim Nox had cheated, and it never used the word anywhere.
The filing said the duel had begun after seven cities changed their contribution allocations. It said the champion who lost had been carrying less than the champion who entered the night.
That was true, and Vasa said so in the first line of her response. A man who releases seven municipal grants is measurably weaker than a man holding them.
The appeal then said the placement therefore measured a filing rather than a fight.
