It is the true word of our Concord that forms the basis of all law. The words of our Lexicon of Harmony forms the essence of order. There is, and forever shall be, one essential justice which cements our society, and one set of edicts which establishes its command. This law is right and reason, the true word of the Concord which binds all edicts and commandments of the reigning Empyrion. Whoever neglects this law, be they written or unwritten, shall be considered wicked and unjust, and as such will suffer the consequences of their actions. Law, as a staple, is what brings and keeps a society together. It is the glue that cements the foundations of a people together in such a way that keeps the people of it’s confines safe and secure. This expectancy is a line that should never be crossed, a wall never to be torn down. As problems arise and morality is questioned, these edicts stand resolute as a distinct and noted path that we must all follow. These are our directions, our bound oath. Consequences are interpreted uniquely by those who experience it, the subjective thought that derails the true sense of justice and right. Whatever the opinion or idea, these concrete transgressions are stapled to ensure that actions and consequences are never questioned. Within this document is contained the 1st Edict of Llyrian Law, the law of which is to be enacted among all bodies of the Llyrian Concord; how the law shall operate; and how punishments are set forth. Signed, Ithrendas Regis Iyliar, Empyrion of Llyria, Guardian of the Primordial, and Paragon of the Ohr 10th Snow’s Maiden, 1720 Class A When a crime is so abhorrent that one dare not even speak of it, it is considered a Class A crime. Class A crimes are punishable by means of Exile, Dismemberment, or in certain cases, Death. These crimes are so heinous that punishments for them are regularly handed out by the reigning Empyrion themself. High Treason Attempted murder of the Empyrion, the Regis Bloodline, or any member of the Lordly Consul. Betrayal, leaking of information on projects or otherwise is considered an affront to the privacy and sanctity of Llyrian affairs. Infiltration of any form of Government for personal, or professional benefits. Attempts to coup the reigning Empyrion through any means is an act of open revolt. Instigating war against the state, offering aid to enemies of the state, or attempting to undermine the established state’s Line of Succession. Mass and Serial Murder While the act of Murder is considered a Class B crime, repeated instances of Murder will result in a harsher punishment. The higher the kill count, the harsher the punishment. Class B Breach of a Class B law is considered to be among the worst actions one can make against the Concord. Actions such as these stand against the very core of Llyrian society and her Concord. Such crimes as these incur the loss of a limb appropriate to the perpetration of the crime. Major Theft Theft as a result of Burglary, Handling, or Robbery. Burglary is described as theft, or attempted theft, from a premises where access is not authorised. Damage to a premises that appears to have been caused by a person attempting to enter to commit a Burglary is also counted as Burglary. Robbery is described as theft as a result of force or threat of force. Both personal and commercial robbery are included. Handling is described as the handling of stolen property and goods; the sale of contraband and illegally obtained items. Homicide Homicide is defined as the act of one person killing another. A homicide requires only a volitional act by another person that results in death, and thus a homicide may result from accidental, reckless, or negligent acts even if there is no intent to cause harm. Homicide is split into four categories; First Degree Murder, Second Degree Murder, Voluntary Manslaughter, and Involuntary Manslaughter. First Degree Murder; The premeditated, unlawful, intentional killing of another person. Second Degree Murder: The intentional, unlawful killing of another person, but without any premeditation. Voluntary Manslaughter: The intentional, unpremeditated killing of another person as the result of a disturbed state of mind, or heat of passion. Involuntary Manslaughter: The unintentional killing of another person through an act of recklessness that shows indifference to the lives and safety of others, or an act of negligence that could reasonably be foreseen to result in death. Rebellion Attempts to undermine, ignore, or otherwise rebel against the Echelons, or the authority of the Maelstrom. Any attempt to seek out others to join a cause against the state will be treated as an act of Rebellion and as such will be punished appropriately. Abduction Any attempts, successful or otherwise, to abduct a denizen of Llyria. Any attempts, successful or otherwise, to hide abducted individuals within the Concord of Llyria. Any attempts, successful or otherwise, to abduct a child of Llyria, or of any other location, will result in particularly harsh punishment. Cannibalism Any attempt to cannibalise a descendent, or transcendent. Any consumption of descendent, or transcendent, flesh within the Llyrian border. Any attempt to force, persuade or convince others to cannibalise will be treated with equal level of severity as doing it yourself Class C- The ‘middle’ rung of our Law system, Class C laws detail crimes which are worse than petty crimes, however not grave enough to dictate Seizure of Property, Imprisonment, or a sizable Fine. Minor Theft Minor Theft, unlike its Class B equivalent, is ascribed to acts of thievery that do not exceed the monetary value of 200 mina. Theft under the monetary value of 50 mina is considered ‘Petty Theft’. Minor Theft is described as the theft of small trinkets and items from an individual without malicious or violent in tent; such as pickpocketing. Resisting Arrest Any attempt to resist the order of a member of the Traceless Order, Empyrshield, or Lordly Consul, when being apprehended for another breach of Law. Any attempt to assault the individual apprehending you will count as a breach of law for Resisting Arrest, and also Assault. Resisting Arrest is an ‘additional’ crime that is stacked on top of another law breach, and may continue to stack depending on the manner of the resistance. Assault Harm as a result of Battery, or Aggravated Assault. Battery is described as the assailant threatening to assault the victim, and/or proceeding to assault the victim without the use of a weapon. Aggravated Assault is described as assault with a weapon. Transcendent beings with claws, fangs, or any other form of bodily alteration that is designed specifically to be used as a weapon, also fulfill the requirements for Aggravated Assault. Vigilantism Any attempt to convict, punish, or apprehend another individual for a crime by one who is not an agent of the law, or in a situation where the below caveat’s apply, will be charged with the crime of Vigilantism. We allow all to openly carry weapons and armour in the city. That said, it is a minor offense to draw said weapon with intent to make use of it. Citizens Arrest is a caveat in the laws that allows regular denizens of Llyria to intervene in a complex scenario if a member of the Traceless Order is absent without breaching the law of Vigilantism. This area of law follows a very basic guideline - this law states that: Any person can apprehend, or incapacitate, a person who is in the act of committing an indictable offence. Indictable offences include; Theft, Criminal Damage, Assault, Murder Anyone whom can be reasonably suspected to be committing a crime, if it is not reasonable for a member of the Traceless Order to arrest the individual instead due to urgency. It is necessary to incapacitate the individual for one of the following reasons: To prevent the person in question from causing physical injury to themselves or any other person. To prevent the loss or damage of property. To prevent the criminal from escaping before a member of the Traceless Order can assume responsibility for them. Defense of the City is an expectation of all denizens of Llyria to raise their arms in times of crisis and need. In the event of a citywide assault, raid, or creature/beastial attack, it is the duty of all denizens of Llyria to defend their home. Any denizen of Llyria can, and should, raise their blade in defense of their home. For smaller assaults for which it is reasonably assumed that the Traceless Order can handle, the denizens must defer to the Vigilantism law. In smaller scale assaults, a Traceless Order member may allow denizens to involve themselves in the confrontation. Self Defense is a clause in the Vigilantism law that affords denizens the right to defend themselves in times of great need. It is applied in such a way that employs ‘reasonable force’ in trying situations. Defendants are entitled to employ reasonable force to defend the lives of themselves. Reasonable Force calculated in common sense: Was the force necessary in the circumstances? Was there a need for any force at all? Class D- The lowest class of crime, Class D Laws are reserved for petty crimes committed by the populace. Crimes that, whilst disturbing the peace, do not violate or endanger other individuals. Breaches of these laws will incur fines and a night in a cell. Inciting Discord To incite discord within the city in the form of refusal of instruction from the Traceless Order, or otherwise breaking the peace will result in punishments ranging between a small fine, to a night in a cell. Discord is considered a sense of disturbing the peace as defined as the unsettling of proper order in a public space through one’s actions. This can be creating loud noise by fighting or challenging to fight, to disturbing others by loud and unreasonable profanity. Obfuscation While armour may be permitted, helmets, masks, or any article of clothing, enchantment, etc, that attempts to obfuscate your appearance is considered a violation of the Edicts. The Concord of Llyria is a home for any who are happy to follow its laws, and as such no individual will be discriminated against due to their background, race, gender, creed, nationality, sexuality, or otherwise. There is no need to hide your identity, and as such we do not permit it. Brawling Spars, for instance, can only be done if approved by a member of the Traceless Order, or the Concord Consul. The area shall be marked out and there will be an officiant. The official laws of a Spar are such that a victor shall be declared once the opponent falls prone, or taps out of the fight. A spar must have an officiant to ensure the fight does not go too far and that it is within line with the laws. Vandalism Any attempt to disfigure, break, or otherwise violate a piece of public or private property is considered an offense. Vandalism criminalises a number of acts done in public and private property such as stealing, destroying, or damaging property without the property owner’s written consent. Marking, inscribling, affixing posters and placards to property, along with suspending or displaying banners and flags etc is also included in this law. Destruction Any attempt to, without lawful excuse, destroy or damage any property belonging to another with intent to destroy or damage any such property. Any attempt to, in recklessness, destroy or damage property. Any attempt to, without lawful excuse, damage or destroy any property, whether belonging to the perpetrator or another, with attempt to endanger the life of another, or being reckless as to whether the life of another would be thereby endangered. An offence committed under this section by destroying or damaging property with fire shall be charged as Arson. Threats to destroy or damage property fall in line with this as well. Construction Expansion and construction of unapproved extensions to ones property is a criminal offense. Any individual who attempts to construct or expand property that is not their own will be in violation of this law. Use of Magic Magic that affects the mind of those other than the caster is strictly prohibited. Exceptions may be made through the gaining of a permit from the Lord Sage or Empyrion. Magic that corrupts or damages the soul is strictly prohibited in any situation. All other forms of magic are allowed to be used in a purely creative or artful capacity. Magic, whilst able to be cast in self-defense, is strictly prohibited from being cast to incite violence or assault another’s person. Any law that is broken with the aid of magical means will increase the Class of the crime by one step. D becomes C, etc. Misuse of Magic The practice of any magic with the intention to harm is strictly prohibited and may only be used in self defense. This law applies to all who walk within the borders of the Concord of Llyria. Magic cannot be used to provoke or instigate violence. Magic cast in excessive, reckless, or careless amounts, will result in punishable consequences. Any magical research that is deemed too dangerous, reckless, or uncontrolled will be seized by the Concord. Any creation of a form of alchemical creature such as Homunculi must be documented, and the creator will be held responsible for its actions. Whilst the Maelstrom is not obligated to follow any particular set of rules, there are some generally accepted guidelines that they are expected to conform to. To break these conventions is to ignore the will of one’s peers and tarnish the authority one has been gifted. Insubordination The Maelstrom is only calmed when all winds work in tandem with one another to blow the Llyrian ship through stormy seas to a final, safe harbour. Disregarding the will of one’s betters is sure to wreck our ship upon unknown rocks. As a member of the Maelstrom or Concord, any attempt to go against the orders of one’s superior is considered a violation of the convention of insubordination. Being insubordinate carries a punishment equivalent to the severity of the disobedience. Harming Denizens To levy one’s power against the denizens that one has sworn to protect is akin to turning one’s wrath upon one’s own child. There are few crimes more heinous as using one’s power for tyrannous control. Should a member of the Maelstrom harm a Denizen in any form, a formal investigation will be taken to establish the cause and reason for this occurrence. To harm a denizen whilst in a position of power is a breach of one’s oath to the state. Abuse of Power A member of the Maelstrom has immense influence over Llyria. Their word informs the minds of their peers and instruct the actions of the denizens of their fair home. It is all too easy to use this power to selfishly better oneself, denying denizens their rights based on a grudge or willingly bending the laws of the land to protect oneself from the consequences. Members of the Maelstrom are first amongst equals, and should remember this equality always.

Ithrendas Regis of the House Iyliar, Empyrion of Llyria, Guardian of the Primordial, and Paragon of the Ohr signs the treaty.

Ithrendas Regis, a true Corvin, acknowledges the culture and allows it to grow with the housing of an authentic Gypsy, Jasper.
