Professor Dowling represented him as his defense counsel. Despite obtaining conclusive proof of Bloodthorne’s innocence, the trial did not go well. View the WNN footage of the trial’s final day below:

We at Avistrum want to emphasize that we steadfastly believe in Kraven Bloodthorne’s innocence.

Tess won our final task, Tri-Wizard Jeopardy, after being selected as the Anime champion from among over 20 qualifiers who passed the first two tasks. For her efforts, Tess has won a full-weekend passes to NanDesuKan 2010, Tales from Avistrum: Fall from Grace (including MileHiCon 42), and Starfest 2011. Well done, Tess!

Our Herbology/Divination and Charms/Potions classes were very well-attended, with no empty seats for either class – congratulations to Professors Deserand, Bloodthorne, Kobiyashi and Voertigern for such good work!

Unfortunately, the trial of Kraven Bloodthorne did not go well. We will post later with more details.
