| LAWS OF CONCORDIA |
 |
| ||||||
There are no "written" laws which govern all of Concordia, but there are some traditional laws which everyone follows. To break on of these does not mean the offender will be prosecuted by authorities, but instead signifies a breaking of trust, and corresponding ostracization by the community. These three unbreakable tennets include (in order of importance): 1. Follow and uphold the doctrines of your deity in good faith. 2. Practice loyalty to your province. 3. Obey your Lord and Shaar. There is also the one law that has stood since the time of the great war, the law of the strong and well prepared. It also is not a law in the true sense, but a phylosophy for the entire Concordian society. It basically states that the strong and well prepared shall dominate the weaker. And only through military might and the strength of great warriors and generals can a province hope to survive. When a weakness is spotted, it shall be exploited, that is the law of the land, the law of Concordia. Other laws are determined by individual provinces and rulers. Many laws are common in all Concordian lands, although new laws are often drafted by Shaars and other political leaders which deviate from or contradict the laws in other provinces. Serious crimes (in just about all provinces) Included crimes against the church or state (Including Oathtakers and especially the Shaars), murder (killing of slaves is not murder), and treason. Anyone charged with these crimes typically earns himself a swift death. The trials themselves are held in public buildings and presided over by a mid-level Oathtaker. Evidence comes in form of testimony, nearly always with the member of the higher class receiving a favorable decision. Oathtakers rarely can have charges brought against them by those beneath them, unless a peer supports the other's case. Bribes also play an important role in court cases. In fact, cash payoffs are not usually seen as immoral, but more as a simple means to resolve a conflict. However, not all societies encourage this, so one must be careful or find themselves in a worse situation than they began in. Also, slaves have no rights, humans have few rights in most provinces. Slaves due not have a right to a trial. If they are charged they are guilty. If they are wronged they must live with it. Without freedom, there can be no fairness. |
