The Law in Iskitaan
The legal system, or law, in the realms of Iskitaan is a complex and layered system. The High King is responsible for setting the master laws to which the various Realms must comply with and enforce, but those laws are aimed mostly at trade, dispute resolution and some basics rights of humanity. Any additional laws a realm or city wishes to enforce are it's own province, though they cannot conflict with the High King's Laws.
High King's Laws
a selection of the High King's Laws and/or links to more detailed treatises about them:
- a prohibition against slavery or the slave trade within Iskitaan, including defining humanity to include Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, all crossbreeds and even Orcs.
- a prohibition against murder, rape and other violent crimes
- laws strictly controlling the manufacturer of guns and gun powder, and who may own/possess them. Technically, the High King owns all guns, and only his lawfully assigned agents are allowed to possess them, and manufacturer or possess gunpowder.
