Elevated seats and sky boxes near the shoulders of the Guardian Wall statues, reserved for nobles and their accepted associates.
The nobles’ viewing gallery occupies elevated seating and balcony spaces near the shoulders of the Guardian Wall’s statues. Noble families watch public proceedings from these sky boxes, while recognised intermediaries such as Bolaire may also be admitted.

Statements are labelled by how the transcript establishes them, so direct depiction, testimony, belief and disputed accounts remain distinct.

The Egerion family is named as one of the noble families to which the older gallery noble might have belonged before he identifies himself as Jacques Malterres.
Thjazi Fang is publicly condemned beneath the Guardian Wall. After sharing a final connection with Halandil and issuing several urgent instructions, he delivers a defiant final statement and is hanged.
In the nobles’ box before Thjazi’s execution, Wicander expects his grandmother, the Photarch, to commute the sentence. She instead tells him that Thjazi must die before taking the stage to address Dol-Makjar.
The masked Bolaire Lathalia arrives at Thjazi’s Farramh after observing his execution from the nobles’ gallery. Bolaire reunites with Thaisha and Tyranny as Halandil’s daughter Hero arrives with her mother, Elodie.
Wicander returns Thjazi’s scimitar to Halandil as Sir Julien Davinos escorts Thjazi’s grieving estranged wife, Aranessa, to the Farramh. Their journey reveals Julien’s role in Thjazi’s earlier capture and Aranessa’s enduring love for her former husband.
