A verdict has been reached, and no IG enforcement actions are necessary. For anyone who desires to cite this case in the future, the final verdict was:
"While the Magistrates do observe a number of players with connections to Aurvandil, that in and of itself is woefully insufficient to prove the existence of a clan, and certainly does not indicate violation of the IRs or Social contract. Players' OOC history should not be used to justify a witchhunt, and one that ultimately excludes and ostracizes other players. While some realms, like Aurvandil, have been associated with exclusive clan activity, the BM community is not justified in continually harboring hostility, which is itself exclusive in nature, towards players with connections to that or other related realms.
Given that no evidence has been offered suggesting that the players in question have engaged in exclusive clan behaviors in Armonia, the Magistrates find them not guilty."
Magistrates voted 5-0 in favor of the verdict.
