Laws of the Realms.

[FrozenDeadGhost]

Internal Laws
Applies to matters of government and not the general public.

• Once Nobility is given it cannot be rescinded from a family name unless a member of said family has committed high treason. Should a member of a noble house be sentenced to high treason the entire family line will lose nobility.
  
• Nobility may only be granted through hereditary inheritance, or through approval of the acting Monarch. Being of a noble house or the royal family does not give guaranteed inheritance of the crown.
  
• All promotions of rank must be signed off on by the acting monarch and at least one member of the court of advisors.
  
• At any point in a Government Meeting the Royal Court may come to an unanimous decision that they may lawfully replace the acting monarch. The monarch has zero vote in this matter and must cede leadership immediately upon a decision being made for who is named the new monarch by the Court.
  
• Being a ranked member of the government does not require being a magi or combatant (unless otherwise stated for a specific role). Their voices are equal in value.
  
• Biyearly meetings will be held between the court and monarch in order to determine future goals and check in on active projects.
  
• Matters of declarations of war or alliance must be agreed upon with the court and monarch in a majority vote.
  
• Matters of an execution of a prisoner must be agreed upon by the court and monarch in a majority vote.
  
• Matters of alliance with a foreign nation will be put to a majority vote in the court.
  
• Matters which are considered limited in time and require a quick decision by any member of the court or monarch have authority to do so. These cannot supersede the above mentioned situations outside of executing a prisoner if it is in the wilds in the heat of battle for a situation that justifies said action. Any decisions that have an objection after the fact by a member of the court may be brought up for review for future law creation or reprimand for said choice made and to establish a plan on how to rectify if the decision made comes to a majority vote as improper leadership.
  

Public Law
Applies to every individual within our territory.

• The Monarch has ultimate authority.
  
• Public religious worship is permitted as long as they are not of Fel, Undeath, Witchery, or self proclaimed gods of Hel.
  
• Individuals who are known to have the ability to use any Fel magics are not permitted within Altharim bounds unless they are actively seeking redemption under a recognized nation with a collar or contract intact. Should they enter Altharim they will be asked if they are here to consider redemption, and if they are a dialogue can begin. If not, attempts to make an arrest should be made. 
  
• Use of Fel, Undeath, Witchery, & Voidic energy are banned from usage within the city limits.
  
• Blacklight demons & Magical beasts are permitted with note that should they attempt to corrupt the land or initiate violence in any way they will be banned on a case by case basis.
  
• Murder, attempted murder, murderous intent, premeditated assault or murder, maiming, & cultism will not be tolerated. These are the highest levels of crimes & require review of the Royal Court & Monarch.
  
• Petty crimes such as theft, slander, public disturbances, & minor assault will be handled between the offended parties under supervision and final rule of Paladins or higher.
  
• Suspicions or reports of citizens visiting Fel nations or interacting with the Fel in a way that might be treasonous will be met with a search of their person and a detainment for questioning by the court to review.

Military Law

• As a member of the military, you are expected to serve your Sentinel & Commander loyally, failure can lead to a strip of rank. Continuing failure means being ousted from the military and reduced to a citizen. This does not include spoken debate of differences of opinion, differences of opinion and how to handle a situation are encouraged but not required for your superior to follow.
  
• As a member of the military, you are to uphold the societal laws and are held to a higher standard. You are expected to police all those that are around you to the highest authority within our territory.
