| | The Ivory Picks were created by the Consigner as a way to learn the tricks of musicians and escape artists for its own nefarious purposes. While a good magician never reveals their tricks, the capabilities of the Ivory Pick are alluring enough for many to exchange knowledge of their acts with the Death God in exchange for one of these Artifacts. However, horror stories circulate around the performing arts communities of escape artists preparing for their death defying final act, only to find that the key component to their survival, the Ivory Pick, has been misfortunately misplaced, giving the Consigner the last laugh. |

| ==State Law== | | ==Description== |
| State Law covers all lands which are considered directly controlled by the Empire, meaning all lands which are not vassal states. Many of the laws however also apply to the Vassal states though can have local moderation and alterations. State Laws can be freely changed by Emperor or the Lord Chancellor. State Laws usually don't lead to Inquisitions or Heresy trials, they simply fall under Civilian Prosecution and as such are merely dealt with as Civilian matters. Punishments can simply be handed out by Regalian Guard Charters, or by the Civilian Courts should such a matter come before the Land’s Justice.
| | Ivory Picks are classified as an Accessory Artifact, meaning they cannot be wielded at the same time with other Accessory Artifacts by the same owner. An Ivory Pick is a thin pale instrument, able to fit within the keyhole of any lock or door. Prone to snapping under stress, it’s possible for anyone not careful enough to accidentally break the item under the right circumstance. The material of the Pick is thought to be some kind of polished bone, smooth to the touch with a soft glossy coating around it, although what exactly it's been made from has never truly been confirmed outright. |

| ===Regalian Common Law=== | | ==Artifact Mechanics== |
| #To wear a weapon or armor in public without express permission from the appropriate authorities is illegal.
| | Artifact Mechanics are split between Permanent Mechanics, Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics. Permanent Mechanics are always available to the wielder of the Artifact. Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics are only available if the Artifact has an Artifactspark. Sparked Combat Mechanics are noted separately, because this makes them easier to find, but they are no different from Sparked Mechanics in general. For more information on Artifactsparks, read the [[Resources#Artifacts|Resources]] Page. For Rules on Artifact ownership, see the [[Artifacts]] Page. |
| #Military Grade weaponry is weaponry designated for artillery usage. These include cannons, explosives and siege weapons.
| | ===Permanent Mechanics=== |
| #To harm another citizen or non-citizen resident is illegal.
| | * |
| #To harm in self-defense is only legal when under self-risk of bodily harm.
| | ===Sparked Mechanics=== |
| ##Self-defense is the use of physical force that is less or equal to the threat faced by the defending party.
| | * |
| #To commit to murdering another citizen or non-citizen is illegal.
| | * |
| #To commit to harming one’s self in any mortal way is illegal
| | ===Sparked Combat Mechanics=== |
| #To falsify or otherwise forge your own death or the death of another, is illegal.
| | * |
| #To enslave outside of the confines of Suffran Law is illegal.
| | * |
| #To deprive another Regalian Citizen of their freedom is illegal.
| | ==Collectible Artifact== |
| #To resist arrest from Regalian Guard Enforcement is illegal.
| | Artifacts are very cool, and make a Character super powerful. That being said, due to circumstances of Roleplay, a Character may end up holding onto an Artifact for months on end. This is generally not a problem, but we believe that Artifacts because of their uniqueness, should never be held onto in perpetuity by one Player. After a few months, it is time for the next player to be able to enjoy the artifact, and for this reason, Collectibles exist. After 120 days of non-consecutive Artifact ownership, an Artifact is automatically confiscated, and the Player who lost it is given a Collectible. Collectibles are thematically and aesthetically similar to the Artifact, meaning the loss of an Artifact does not visually detract from a Character's established design. However, they cannot hold Artifactsparks and only inherit the Permanent Mechanics from the Artifact they were generated from (including the rules limiting their use). On the other hand, Collectibles can never be stolen from their owner, a Collectible is owned forever, and there is no upper limit to the amount of Collectibles a Character can have, or wield/use at the same time. Collectibles may be traded away by their owner if they are unable to use the Permanent Mechanic due to the use limitation. To summarize this Artifact's Collectible properties: |
| #To bear false witness to an on-duty Regalian Law Enforcer when the lie has been proven is illegal.
| | *Marty Will Fill This In |
| #To attempt to break out of prison is illegal.
| | *The '''UNIQUE NAME''' Collectible inherits the Permanent Mechanic of Ivory Picks but can only be used by '''WHOEVER MARTY/ALEX WANT TO USE IT'''. While there are several '''UNIQUE NAME''', each looks unique, though should be inspired by the appearance of Ivory Picks. |

| ===Regalian Civil Status===
| |
| The Regalian Civil Status Case is divided primarily into four main categories of individual: First Civil Status Races, Protected Civil Status Races, None Civil Status Races and Outsider Civil Status Races.
| |
| | |
| Races that are First Civil Status enjoy equal protection by the State through its laws and law enforcement chapters and have full access to the Courts of Regalia where the laws permit such.
| |
| | |
| Races that are Protected Civil Status enjoy somewhat the same protection by the State, however do not have access to the Courts of Regalia and must rely on First Civil Status Races to take their cases for them. In some cases, marriage may also be limited for these races where the laws state so.
| |
| | |
| Races that are None Civil Status enjoy no rights at all within the Regalian Empire, and thus are not protected by the Regalian law enforcement chapters for some crimes (Save brutalization in public) and have no access to the Regalian Judiciary whatsoever. Marriage may also be restricted for these individuals by law.
| |
| | |
| Races that are Outsider Civil Status are outcasts to the Regalian populous and can be actively beaten, robbed and treated like animals without impunity. They are not recognised as 'people' within the Regalian Caste System and thus can be enslaved by those that can overpower them (Doing so will then make that Outsider 'property', and subject to laws under the Regalian Property Law category.
| |
| | |
| # Ailor, Sihai, Dwarves, Qadir, Url, Allar, Orcs, Songaskians, Altalar and Cielothar are First Civil Status Races.

| |
| # Most Half-Races are considered First Civil Status Races as long as both parents are First Civil Status. If they have only one First Civil Status parent, they shall become Protected Civil Status. If they have no First Civil Status parents, they shall be None Civil Status.
| |
| # All Regalian Government secretaries and official ministers will enjoy the privileges associated with First Civil Status, regardless of their race, for as long as they hold a position in the Regalian Government. This is to ensure that these individuals can work productively and unimpeded by any restraints which would be otherwise placed upon them by the status of their birth.
