The Laws of the Human Kingdoms

*Posters are hung around the Kingdoms of Savoie, Adunia, Salvus and Oren*

"Any laws that are broken by an individual or a group of individuals are subject to judgement and punishment as a criminal offence."

• Oath Law: An oath is the promise of a person on his honour and the honour of his kin, Clan or House. It is by law that oaths may not be broken once made. If the oath was in the form of a grudge, then said grudge will be passed down in the next line of kin, if the oath breaker passes on.

• Oath of Blood: If an Oath of Blood is made, the consequence of breaking said oath, will be paid in blood. This oath is made when you are promising something involving war or involving the possible chance of death.

• Oath of Greed: If an Oath of Greed is made, the consequence of breaking said oath, will be paid in minas. This oath is made when dealing with items pertaining high value or gambling. I.E when you gamble, you are automatically subject to the consequences of an Oath of Greed.

• Oath of Yemekar: If an Oath of Yemekar is made, the consequence of breaking said oath, will be paid in blood. This oath is for the highest degree of matters.

 

• Greed Law: If a person is found harbouring or stealing from their kin, then said person is subject to the judgement of his or her liege. The course of action would be to reclaim any items that were stolen, return them to their owners, and demand a high fine in return.

 

• Kjell's Law: If a dwarf is found outside the lands of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, he is considered an apostate, until returned to the dwarven homeland. If said dwarf continues to refuse the Kingdom's will, this can amount to crimes of the highest degree.

 

• Yemekar’s Respect Law: No dwarf or other race may disrespect the Brathmordakin in the halls of any city, for it is of the most dishonourable of crimes. Penalty for this would depend upon the severity of the disrespect. It can range from the degrees of one to three.

 

• Treason Law: No individual may betray the Grand Kingdom of Urguan or it vassal Kingdoms. Penalty of this can be of the highest degree.

 

• Bribing Law: No individual may bribe officials of the Grand Kingdom of its vassals to change their opinion or actions in times of voting or otherwise. This is a high offence that can range to the fourth degree.

 

• Conspiring Law: No individual or group of individuals will meet and plan any conspiracies against the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. To do so is a criminal offence.

 

• Banishment Law: If a person, Clan or House is declared banished, said individual or group is not allowed to enter the Kingdom’s lands for they are forever forced to wander the wilderness until they regain their honor. The offence for this is of the highest degree.

 

• Wrong Accusation Law: No individual may knowingly and wrongly accuse another individual or party for a crime or dishonorable claim that they did not commit. To do so is a crime and can be up to the third degree.

 

• Slavery Law: It is deemed unlawful to make any attempt to enslave or entrap another being against their will, or else deny them of their basic rights. To do so can result in a penalty of the highest degree. Prisoners of war and alleged criminals are the only exceptions to this law.

 

• Artefact Law: It is considered a crime to wrongfully steal or tamper with any artefact that is considered to be under the protection of either the Grand Kingdom of Urguan or the Clergy of the Brathmordakin. In the most serious cases, doing so can amount to crimes of the highest degree.

 

• Unholy Worship Law: No individual may practise an unholy religion, namely the worship of Khorvad or Iblees. This includes but is not limited to unholy sacrifice, necromancy, and heretical teachings. This further means that any religion practised within the territories of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan must first be granted approval by the Grand King and his Lord’s Council. If an individual is found to be practising unholy worship, then said person is subject to the judgement of their liege. The penalty of breaking this law can be of the highest degree. The current approved religions to be practised within their specified regions are:

  • The Brathmordakin

  • The Faith or Oren, Salvus and Savoie

  • The Old Faith of Adunia

  • The Kharajyr Faith

 

• Murder Law: No person may without reason or justification, kill another individual. If an individual is found to have committed murder, then said person is subject to the judgement of their liege. The penalty of breaking this law can be of the highest degree.

 

Degree System:

 

The degree system is a cascading system. This means if a criminal receives the third degree, he must first go through the fifth and fourth degrees of punishment.

 

• First Degree: Capital Punishment. Can be accompanied by torture depending on the severity of the crime. Seldom used.

• Second Degree: Banishment. Time of service will depend on the judgement of the Grand King. Banishment will be kept by these perimeters; The criminal must stay outside the borders of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. If the banished individual is caught within the valley or within the territory of the allies of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, they will be tracked down and judged for the First Degree.

• Third Degree: Public Humiliation; either thrown a cage, separated from society but open to the public so the subject may be slandered with abusive comments, or thrown in stockades behind a fence where people can pelt you with eggs. Corporal punishment may be used, depending on the judgement of the liege.

• Fourth Degree: The criminal is to be held in a jailing cell or otherwise against his own will for a relatively short period of time. A guard is in his rights to do this. Torture may not be used unless said criminal is defined with treason, in that case they will be handed over to their liege for interrogation. Their liege may also demand that the accused complete some community service. This service can be anything that helps the community in some way; building a structure, clearing rubble, free bartending help, etc. The amount of time required of the individual must be within reason, unless the degrees rise higher than the fourth.

• Fifth Degree: A fine is to be paid depending on the judgement of their liege or of the ranking official at the time. Most laws specifically define how much to fine said individual.

• Sixth Degree: A duel of honour; In this case, no clear punishment is deemed necessary and so in order to resolve the dispute, the individual's sentence will be decided upon with a duel of honour between the two parties involved. If the accused loses the duel, they may be forced to the fifth degree, in order to pay a fine.

 

• All vassal states are further reminded that igniting hostile acts against other vassal states of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan is a crime against the Articles of Urguan and is thereby punishable by death."
