Penned by His Excellency, Lyov II Brackish, Lord Justicar of the Kingdom of Haense
The Haensetian Criminal Code
Drafted on the 8th of the Amber Cold, 1669
The laws encoded in this text are binding to all denizens of the Kingdom of Haense, both commonfolk and nobility alike. Similarly, any person or creature found violating a section of the Haensetian Criminal Code (hereby known simply as the HCC), whilst in the Kingdom of Haense, will be subject to punishment as laid out in the HCC regardless of their international affiliation.
The authority to deal out punishment lies in the hands of the King of Haense, the Lord Justicar, and any authorized agents of the aforementioned. In this codex, the term “The Crown” shall be used when referencing either of the aforementioned. The powers of these authorized agents shall be laid out in broader terms in later editions of the HCC. The HCC is subject to amendments, following a ⅔ majority vote in favour of the amendment(s) in the Aulic Council of Haense.
