Hall of Justice

This imposing stone building with a wooden roof in Hammerfast has a broad flight of stairs leading to its double doors. Statues of Moradin, one depicting him as a smith and the other showing him garbed for war are located in a small temple in the back of the building. This two-story building has a court, holding cells for prisoners, and a hall of records for the town. Tax disputes, along with criminal cases, are tried here by the town's justice of the peace, Beldrin Longbeard.  The Lord Commander Tenkar Stoneshield and the Guard's Record Keeper and Accounting Mistress Quila Stoneshield have their offices here.  Most civil matters are adjudicated by the Guildmasters or High Priests (Grond Silverstar), depending on complex dwarven jurisdictional law.   The prison wing in the Hall ofjustice consists of a dozen cells, each 10 feet by 10 feet, located in the basement.   The images are those of a larger, similar structure.
