Regalian Law

Regalian State Law is active in all Heartland Regions, including the Regalian Archipelago, Ithania, Etosil, Lusits, and Imperial Property (like the Animosity Bridge). Anyone who lives or works in Regalia is a Citizen of the Empire, and has legal protections. Anyone who claims they are not a Citizen of the Empire, is not protected legally, and can just be attacked/stolen from without legal trouble. For purposes of privilege, there are three ranks: Common (everyone) Noble (blue/court Families) and Eminents (Ministers). Theoretically there is a fourth layer called the Princeroyals, but everyone in the Imperial Family and Imperial Guard is immune to the law by default. Many sections of the Roleplay Rules page are relevant to this page.

Civil Codes

Civil Law

Civil Law is a common Lawbook. There are other Penal Codes which refer to specific circumstances, referred to further down. Civil Law applies to Common and Noble ranks, but not to Eminents, who are immune. Where intended punishments are not listed, reprisal is open to vigilante interpretation. Knights of all Orders are responsible for upholding the law, but only to protect the weak and defenseless by preventing theft and assault.

Petty Law: Includes victimless crimes like permit violations, illegal good possession, casting Magic in the street, misgendering.
Low Law: Includes low-impact crimes like trespassing, theft, destruction of property, non-lethal violence, emotional harm, refusing proper titles.
Middle Law: Includes medium-impact crimes like impersonation of officials and nobles, abduction and imprisonment. Private guards usually counter-ransom or imprison Middle Law criminals.
High Law: Includes high-impact crimes like treason against the Empire, murder, being a monster, aiding hostile greater entities work against Regalia. High Law criminals can be sent to the Palace for judgment.
Capital Law: Includes solely the act of denying the supreme rule of the Emperor. Capital Law criminals always go to the Palace for judgment.
Decency Law: Decency Laws involve adultery on an unsuspecting spouse or unmarried lover, public prostitution outside of the Dragon District.
Knight Law: Knight Law is purely a construct defers attacks on religious sites to Reliquary Knights, Artifact theft to Aelrrigans, Honor violations to Viridians, etc.
Solvaan Law: Solvaan Law is purely a construct that means Solvaan Citizens are exempt from reprisal on the basis of actions undertaken during their Mercenary Contracts as described on their Race Page.
Occult Law: Occult Law covers illegal states of being such as Geist, Vampire, Cahal, Theurgy, etc. Solutions are applied to each depending on what they are, for example curing or the cleansing of Spirits.

Civil Law Exceptions

Some exceptions to Civil Laws exist to cover unique aspects of State legislature.

Suvial Citizens are exempt from Occult Law covering Theurgy. They are permitted to have Spirits, so long as they prevent these Spirits from causing a commotion. Spirits are not protected by law however.
Solvaan Citizens are exempt from High Law covering Monster appearances. They are permitted to use Mist-Shifts, but are expected to normalize themselves if asked to do so.

Imprisonment

Vigilantes and Criminals alike are permitted to imprison captured hostile Characters within their Clandestine Bases, Keeps, and Rental Regions, as long as a sufficient cell area and-or guards to roleplay with them are available. Captors should show courtesy of releasing someone within 24 hours of imprisonment unless there is a planned and agreed ransom or the player desires to be held for longer. A prisoner can file a Discord Ticket if they feel they are being held unjustly or for too long to ask for mediation. A captor can file a Discord Ticket if they feel that a prisoner is ignoring Fear Roleplay or behaving generally irreverently towards their captors. It is the captor's responsibility to maintain clear communication. Please be polite.
