The Quaiyl, which means Tribunal, are a group of individuals that make up Oakstone's Membership Committee. They are charged with the duty of assisting the Heirophants with interviewing hopeful new Oakstone members. A Quaiyl should have spent an appropriate amount of time in Oakstone to understand the basic ideals used in an interview. They can be chosen by the Hierophant in charge of Membership or a majority of Hierophants. The members of the Quaiyl must be active in the realms and may be removed at any time by a majority of Heirophants.

One Heirophant must be present for an interview to occur and may be assisted by a second Heirophant or a member of the Quaiyl.
