We don't have to be real in a court of law. Just the court of public opinion, which as I'm sure you're aware from your classes is far less lenient and willing to rely on the flimsiest of circumstantial evidence - perhaps just a monster's say-so.

Zir first lover, the unwise Illotat, had a weakness for Zi-ri and the laviscious Sythyry took advantage of this to seduce him and thereby blacken his family name. Outraged, Illotat's father disowned him and he was cast out of the Academy. Poor and destitute, Illotat eventually took his own life by throwing himself off the Tree, falling upon the head spikes of a winged monster of the Void - a most gruesome end. Sythyry cared not . . .
