Blended and Adolin pushed for a trial by witness, as it would be the most favorable strategy Adolin could adopt, due to his poor understanding of honorspren legal code.{{book ref|sa4|78}} When Kalak returned from his patrol,{{book ref|sa4|78}} Adolin approached him at the gates to Lasting Integrity and made his request. Although [[Sekeir]], a prominent honorspren elder, opposed the idea, Kalak granted Adolin’s wish.{{book ref|sa4|82}} Despite Adolin’s objections, the trial would be held in the stronghold's forum and would be open to the other occupants of the keep.{{book ref|sa4|82}}
The first day of Adolin’s trial saw the forum packed with honorspren. [[Amuna]] was the first witness to be called and gave a damning statement against Adolin framed around how her position as carer of the deadeyes was a result of the actions of humans, and should be a reminder of the dangers of forming [[Nahel bond]]

The third and final day of Adolin’s trial, saw almost every honorspren attend the forum to witness the verdict. Due to Kalak being detained by the honorspren, Sekeir stepped in as High Judge to oversee the last of the witness statements and started the day by reading a very long winded speech. When Adolin interrupted him, Sekeir threatened to gag the Highprince. Following Sekeir’s speech, Amuna led Maya into the room as the final witness. Sekeir "spoke" on Maya’s behalf, using the chance to tout his own vitriol. Maya grew increasingly distressed by Sekeir and the other honorspren’s treatment of her, and ended up being physically restrained by Amuna and another honorspren so that she could not escape. Adolin, wanting to end the abuse Maya was being subjected to, pleaded for judgement to be given, however, Sekeir refused and instead continued to use the moment as a spectacle to promote his platform. Maya grew more violent in her struggles, thrashing around and wanting to be let go. When Adolin tried to physically help her, he was restrained by several nearby honorspren, who were waiting for him to try and go to the [[cultivationspren]]’s aid.{{book ref|sa4|94}}
Drawing strength from Adolin, Maya addressed the crowd herself, proclaiming that the deadeyes had willingly chosen to give up their bonds during the Recreance. Shocked, the honorspren left the room in clusters until only Adolin, Maya, and Blended remained. Although never formally determined, it is assumed Adolin’s trial either ruled in his favor or was dismissed.{{book ref|sa4|94}}
