  1. Lachlan says, with a hint of anger in his voice."Recently, Flays attacked and tried to burn a tavern, they left the owner alive and said, surrender to Savoie and Salvus. We have'nae raided you, we have never left our lands to fight you, yet you and your men come to my kingdom and slaughter, rape and burn. You are the one who wants death, not us."

  2. King Lachlan rises from his chair."If I may, sire, I'd like to say we have peace declared, and have two Legion Commanders become governors in both Savioie an Adunia, who work to secure that peace is made between us. End the war, kill the flays, and have oth sides watched. This is what I feel should be done."

  3. *Lachlan rises from his seat and bows. "Thank you, your Grand Majesty."

     

    He resumes his seat and begins to explain the Adunian's strife."Your Majesty, things between Kralta and Adunia were once peaceful, we rebuilt the Temerian Bridge together, traded, and fought together against the undead of the North. Then things changed, Galahar joined Savoie as a substate and Flay raids started happening more and more. The Flay's may not be an official group, but Brutus Flay and his men of the Dreadfort commit very /real/ crimes. Besides raids, they have kidnapped the Lord Claxdon from Adunia, in which we Adunians and Orener's fought to retrieve him from the Dreadfort. I was then kidnapped also, and tortured. They robbed me and carved the name "Scav" into my arm..."Lachlan shudders at the fact a Flay's name is now etched into his skin.

     

    "Then Strelts began makin' threats and attackin' Adunia, claiming we wanted war. Yet we have only defended ourselves against the Men of Savoie. They have fired siege weapons on my people, attempted to kidnap people burn crops, stolen ships and so much more. They bring Orc's into this war and violate the Law's of Urguan that you have written and passed."

     

    Lachlan takes a deep breath, trying to contain his anger with the men of Savoie."I wish Adunia's lands left alone by the men of Savoie, and recognized that the lands are Adunia's, under the Empire of Urguan. These are my only wishes, Your Majesty." Sits down, awaiting Prince Carrion to plead his case.

  4.  Lachlan Mor the First, King of Adunia,Mormaer of Ard Carraigh, Earl of Ildon and Lord of Ildicia, Over Lord of Gallmore and Claxdon, Lord of the Adunians,The Mace Catcher, Defender of the Auld, and Knight of the Order of Harren, ride forth to Kal'Azgoth. He wears his families tartan over his thick leather tunic and fine green shirt. Atop his head sits the circlet of Harren and behind his back is Durendal.

     

     "Ride! We must get there soon." He calls out to his retainers, leading a long line of mounted Knights and Chieftains. As they near the gates of Azogth, they slowly come to a halt, dismounting.

     

     "Sirs Edward, Edward, and Gryphin, stay on alert, Gavin,Belon,ye're with me, Father Vaerus, try not to get killed." Lachlan says, heading into the city. They now wait outside the palace, waiting to be let in.

  5. 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."
