Thaydon's Rest - Town Ordinances & By-laws

[Vallon Cromwell]

Hear ye, hear ye!


Thaydon’s Rest recognizes the following statement as an indelible and unimpeachable truth: By right of Blood, Queen Sauleen is the rightful monarch and ruler of Kyranthia. All legitimacy and authority claimed by His Majesty Killian Waker is derived solely from his marriage to the Queen and solely with her ongoing willing consent.

The following are implicitly illegal activities; any person found guilty of these crimes will be given an appropriate punishment, decided by a Noble or Official. Crimes are not limited to this list, as the Queen and Nobles decide if something that is harmful to citizenry is a crime. The mere attempt of any of the crimes listed will be considered the same crime as if the attempt was successful.

Arson, Burglary, or Vandalism

Assassination or Murder

Assault with intent to kill

Casting Void

Conspiracy or Treason against the Queen

Forgery, Counterfeiting, or Fraud

Kidnapping or Slavery

Piracy, Robbery, or Theft

Poisoning


The Following are explicitly illegal activities; any person found guilty of these crimes will be given a specific punishment:

Embroilment with Chaos

-Individuals discovered with the ability to cast Chaos; shall suffer one death

-Individuals discovered with Chaos scrolls, Chaos potions, or magic items empowered by Chaos; shall suffer one death

-Individuals observed having inappropriate communications with an enthromancer; shall suffer one death

-Individuals found in attendance of any Chaos meeting or ritual; shall suffer one death

-Casting Chaos; shall suffer one death for each instance.


Any individual that comes forward with contraband or confesses any wrongdoing in their involvement with Chaos may receive a pardon from any punishment. These local ordinances apply to all citizens of Thaydon’s Rest no matter where they travel. All crimes committed abroad by the citizenry of Thaydon’s Rest will be prosecuted as if they were committed within the confines of Thaydon’s Rest itself.


Seek the Light,

Vallon Cromwell

Constable of Thaydon’s Rest

Squire to Ser Tobias of The Inquisition

Wielder of the Sword of Light


In addition, the following offenses are also considered crimes:


Aiding and Abetting an Outlaw or Enemy

Conspiring with an Outlaw or Enemy

Denying entry of a Noble or Royal Official

Destruction of Property

Failure to Obey a Noble or Royal Official

Failure to Pay Fines or Penalties

Failure to pay guild dues

Guild failure to pay taxes

Impersonating a Noble or Royal Official

Obstructing Justice

Possession or Use of Illegal Substances


If a citizen evades the punishment handed down by a Noble or Official after being caught or sentenced for a crime, they are considered an Outlaw, and when caught they will be put to Death. There is no common code of punishment, though Fines, Public Service, Dismemberment, Death, Marking, or Confiscation of Property are the most common. Each case will be decided by a Noble or Official and the sentence will be carried out swiftly and according to the severity of the crime. Repeated offenses may lead to being branded as an Outlaw and an Enemy of the Crown.

Hello, I'm sorry I got scared and didn't join you all with Nyx to go to Oakcrest. All these new laws about Chaos has me worried and confused about my status amongst the town still. I guess after really thinking about it... I can't still cast Chaos, and I don't have any scrolls, potions, or magic items (or really any items at all). So would it still be okay if I came to town and talked? I'll still hold/test with the Sword of Light and accept Temple exposure like we talked about at the feast. I hope there's something I can do to help against my previous captor.

Sorry again,
"Baldy"

P.S. - Fiddle Faddle, I'm still desperate to meet you and apologize to your face about what happened in... that realm. If Thaydon's Rest won't accept me, perhaps we could meet outside it's town limits. I wouldn't mind if you brought anyone else you think should hear it from me too.

[Vallon Cromwell]

Of course, you are still welcomed to join us on our return to Thaydon's Rest. And you don't need to concern yourself with the Sword of Light.
However... with the current martial law imposed on us by the Templars, I cannot guarantee your safety, but I will advocate on your behalf.
The Lich Lord Vroktis also roams the area. He commands seemingly sentient undead capable of speech, be wary.

Thanks for the warnings Vallon! I'll try and keep a low profile with the Templar until I can at least try and get any sort of comfort and safety. Undead however, should fear me, not the other way around. Maybe I can help you all with that and earn my keep.
