Those of you who know me know I may not always follow the laws of the land as I respect nobles who deserve it not because of their title and in the past always put family first. But with that said I have always believed in knowing the laws of the land I am in as IF I disobey the law I like to do it in full disregard not accidental disregard of the norms and morals of the land.
I have spent time to study the laws of the region in the library of the capital. Here is what I have learned.
Laws:
Acts that harm a person or their property are punishable.
Acts against a noble are punishable.
Acts against the crown are punishable.
Acts that utilize Necromancy are punishable.
Acts that involve the ownership or sale of slaves are illegal, however indentured servitude is an acceptable punishment.
Depending on the severity of the act, the punishment is decided either via trial by jury or trial by noble.
These were the laws under the Royal Family, and during the war there hasn't been any published rewrites of the laws.
Enslavement and other commands are not explicitly illegal it seems but could based on interpretation of the noble fall under the prohibition of slavery or fall under harming of said person. So I would use caution when enforcing your will upon others.
The truth is we as adventurers could easily topple the fledgling coalition government if we backed the royals but the royals have proven themselves twisted in their mentality and not with the best interests of the land and people as a whole. Know Shadow's Light backs the coalition. On which let it be said anyone who interacts with a "simple earthmage" Mr Everest or whatever he likes to be called -please let him know my brother and I are coming for him.
See you all soon. I leave you with some words to ponder on. We as adventurers far too often do not respect our own place in the world of Fortannis nor our true impact......
My name is not my own,
It is borrowed from my ancestors,
I must return it unstained, not dirty
My honor is not my own
It is on loan from my descendants
I must give it to them unbroken. It is our bond.
Our blood is not our own,
it is a gift to generations yet unborn,
We should carry it with responsibility
