Ewdrawings 455 Share Posted January 22 KAETHUL’S CONSTITUTION As written by Athri'annyer (Whatasithuation) Every individual is entitled to certain inherent rights and freedoms, including but not limited to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness so long as it does not infringe on others well-being. All citizens and visitors are granted equality before the law, regardless of race, gender, religion, or other characteristics. On Soulless Constructs and Cursed Children:For a construct to become a citizen they must register their creator's name with the Overlord or a High Lord to be filed incase of issue.Cursed Children must go through a darkspawn test with the Overlord or a High Lord so it may be documented to avoid misunderstandings with foreign nations. The effort to receive this documentation should be made by the Cursed Child, lest they be under the age of eighteen. State Licenses and Permits: A permit or state license costs 100 mina’s, or 1 Golden Ducat (10 Silver Ducats) to acquire and will require an interview. One can obtain a permit through sending a letter to the Overlord, or a High Lord. To sell or give anything that is addictive by nature or has the power to create a dependency must be prescribed by someone with a Doctor's License. To make or sell anything that is addictive by nature, poisonous or has the power to create a dependency requires an Alchemists Permit. Practicing Magic or Alchemy that can alter the state of a being's appearance requires an Alteration Permit. To cash in Sentinel bounties at the tavern bounty board, or to actively hunt within Kaethul’s territory for foreign bounties requires a Bounty License. In special cases a Temporary Bounty License can be provided, such as in the case of a paladin order making a request to hunt a specific darkspawn in a politically tense situation. Soulless Constructs may go through an interview and critical thinking test to obtain a Construct permit where they act as their own entity and are responsible for their own behavior in regards to the law system rather than their creators. To actively defend someone in the court of law requires a Law License. Of Legal Age: The legal age for purchase or consumption of alcohol, tobacco, recreational drugs, and casino chip products rests at the age of 18 for all races. Children who break the law are treated on a case by case basis and always require a trial with their guardians' attendance should they have one. Duels:Should a disagreement between two parties transcend desire of payment with both parties agreement a duel can be held. Each duel’s rules may be different so long as they are agreed upon by both parties. A formal contract is signed and archived and then the duel must take place within one saints or elven week. Failure to arrive at said duel after the contract has been signed will result in a greater fine. Both parties must be of legal age to participate in a duel. Arrest Procedure: The Continuum of Force is used to apprehend the suspect where they are arrested and placed within a cell. Stated victims and witnesses should be interviewed and their account should be written down. The suspect then should be interviewed afterwards on their account. Should the victim wish to press charges, then the suspect can either pay bail to clear said charges, or be temporarily banished until a state trial may be held. Warrants: Search and entry warrants may be granted by the Overlord, High Justicar, High Arbiter, Royal Arbiters, and Justicar. State Trials: Both parties are granted unbiased lawyers disconnected to the event in question to present their parties' case and may choose to work with Kaethul’s Sentinels or independent hired investigators to gather more information, or evidence. Should the Overlord not be present to oversee a trial as judge, they may appoint one outside of the conflict, well educated on matters of Kaethul law with a history of just behavior to stand in their place. Should the suspect not show for their designated trial date and time, they shall be considered guilty and added an additional fine onto their banishment. The AqueductsThis area is too large to actively be patrolled by Sentinels rendering a lawless portion of the land. Travel through at your own risk. The aqueducts exist to filter fresh water for the city, providing clean drinking water through an advanced plant based and enchantment additive filtration system, and equally provide controlled mineral rich irrigation to Kaethul Farmland. CRIME AND BAIL Crimes are generally graded into three categories: felonies, misdemeanours and infractions. Often the criminal intent element affects a crime’s grading INFRACTIONS:Infractions are the least serious crimes and include minor offenses. Infractions are generally punishable by a fine or alternative sentencing of community service. MISDEMEANOURS:Misdemeanours are less serious than felonies, either because the intent requirement is of a lower level or because the result is less extreme. They are punishable by a fine, or alternative sentencing like probation, rehabilitation, or community service, or military service etc. FELONIES: Felonies are the most serious crimes. They are either supported by a heinous intent, like the intent to kill, or accompanied by an extremely serious result, such as loss of life, grievous injury, or destruction of property. Depending on the jurisdiction and the crime, the sentence could be execution, banishment, a fine, or alternative sentencing such as probation, rehabilitation, and home confinement. Potential consequences of a felony conviction also include the inability to own a weapon, or even participate in certain careers. Minas to Ducat Conversion: 100 Minas or 2 Golden Ducats (20 Silver Ducats) Bail can be denied depending on the severity and situation of the crimes by the Overlord, High Justicar, High Arbiter, Royal Arbiters and Justicar.

Karina 412 Share Posted January 22 Sermi would scan over the stack of law papers, working to commit each to memory. There was a certain fondness for many of the words that had been wrote for it. Coming from a Canonist nation, the thought that all could be treated equal was /strange/ at times. With a quick flick of her glance to the line outside her forearm, from a recently applied darkspawn test - she wondered what the future held, if not only endless fuel for ambition and coin. Anatoliy was right, after all this time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
