In Dorea, the City States don’t call the twelve days ‘Yule’. Instead, they call it either Saturnalia or Kronia depending on where you are.

(For the sake of argument, we shall call it Yule.)

Twelve Days of Yule

Day One: 21st

► Fathers who were at sea start to arrive home with gifts.

► House cleansing and decorating starts.

Day Two: 22nd

► Those who want to pilgrimage start now.

Day Four: 24th

► Boys go out singing while carrying small model boats filled with nuts. If they are good at singing, they are given money or nuts.

Day Five: 25th

► Very early in the morning, everyone goes to the temples to sing.

► The main Yule meal is held with the entire family, including extended. An offering is given to the gods.

Day Six: 26th

► The Games start, where each major City State competes in sports and arts.

Day Eight: 28th

► The Games end and a laurel is granted to the winner.

Day Eleven: 31st

► Presents are given to children. A cake with a coin in the middle is served.

► People gather and play games.

Day Twelve: 1st

► House cleansing ends.

► Decorative boats are sent to sea, taking the evil spirits and dark thoughts from the year before with them.

History

Dorea’s culture comes from a deep belief and once-reliance on the sea before their expansion.

Food, Decor and Family

Food

► Starters are usually sweet pastries filled with nuts and covered with honey or cinnamon.

► Main Yule meal is lamb or pork roasted on a spit. Spinach and cheese pies. Salads and vegetables.

► Yule bread is a round loaf flavoured with cinnamon, orange and cloves.

► Brandy and fruit infused alcohols are often the drinks of choice.

Decor

► Suspend a shallow bowl of spring water with a sprig of basil in it. The water is then sprinkled at doorways and windows every day of the twelve days of Yule to keep the evil spirits away.

► Small boats decorate everyone’s houses.

Family

► Fathers who have been at sea return home with gifts for their family.

In the Community

► Tehordisos has a decorated three-masted ship built at its centre and illuminated throughout the entirity of the twelve days. Smaller city states host smaller boats. (This is in honour of the tradition of putting boat decorations up when sailors have returned home.)

But no two families are the same. So everyone’s Yule will be different, too. The people of the Forgotten Kingdoms are free to celebrate however they like.

History

Alynthia inspired much of the traditions of the countries they once ruled. But time has meant their influence has either left or morphed into something unique.

Food, Decor and Family

Food

► They have calendars for children where they get a tiny sweet each day as they count down to Yule.

► The rich have goose for dinner, while the middle classes and lower classes have chicken.

Decor

► All families have a Yule log, it’s a tradition carried on from those travellers who went to Istara and brought them home.

► The middle classes or the poor must often buy single antlers or smaller ones at the market before Yule if they want to keep them out of their home.

Family

► Children leave their shoes by the fire, this is in hopes that the spirits of Yule will leave them a blessing for the new year

► In richer households the servants also have a yule meal, but that is eaten during lunch time so they are ready for the evening. They get 3 hours off duties to have their yule meal.

Community

► All walks of life give gifts to each other. Employers tend to give their workers a small bonus to make sure they can give a small gift to everyone in their household.

► There is often a Yule ball in the royal palace. The princesses and queen will wear a garland of mistletoe or holly in their hair. These come from Istara or Olean Ridh. Everyone wears red or green.

► They make sure to breed stags to have large antlers before they are released into the wild, as this is a tradition that the rich and royals do two days after the evening of Yule. They hunt the stags and the antlers are used to hang outside the front door to keep the bad spirits away that will bring them misfortune.

► Day of Misrule is the grandfather of the ‘Feast of Fools’ which was adopted by Istara. The Day of Misrule involves parades and songs, where merrymen and performers are treated as religious figures and nobility for a day.

But no two families are the same. So everyone’s Yule will be different, too. The people of the Forgotten Kingdoms are free to celebrate however they like.

Twelve Days of Yule

Day One: 21st

► Noson Gyflaith or ‘Toffee Evening’, where children and women make toffee through the evening.

Day Three: 23rd

► Women go from house to house to ask for flour to make bread or cakes for the proceeding events.

Day Four: 24th

► Farmers bring home their ploughs to show they are no longer working.

Day Five: 25th (Y Gwyliau)

► Plygain is where the men of the community go to the temples or the centre of their community and sing from four or five until daylight breaks.

► Everyone goes to the largest farm to share in a large goose or beef dinner and ‘wet’ the plough hidden under the table with beer.

Day Six: 26th

► Holly beating often occurs where young men beat the bare arms of unwed women with holly until they bleed. A man who is interested in marrying the woman can take her place as a show of dedication.

Day Seven: 27th

► The wren hunting begins.

Day Twelve: 1st

► Mari Lwyd or ‘Grey Mare’ comes to the community.

► The Calening begins.

History

Due to Tir Hydref being ruled by Istara for so long that people have forgotten there was ever a war between them, Tir Hydref has little to no memory of losing its Yule celebrations.

Food, Decor and Family

Food

► Goose and beef are the main meats eaten at Yule.

► Goose blood tart, plum pudding, toffee and loaf cake are all types of sweet treat eaten.

► Beer is mostly the drink of choice for the people of Tir Hydref.

Decor

► Wreaths are hung on doors to protect households from the bad spirits who only come during Yule.

► Mistletoe is hung about the house as a nod to the beliefs of their ancestors.

Family

► Everyone spends time with their family throughout Yule. Unlike the other cultures, they spend even more quality time with their children.

Community

Y Gwyliau

From the 25th, all farmwork is suspended as symbolised by farmers carrying their ploughs home at the end of the 24th.

Grey Mare

One man from each city is assigned the task to dress up as a scary horse with a skull on their head and knock on each door, challenging the residences to a battle of rhyming, and then present the family with a wreath with a similar skull on it.

Calening

Children will go around, door to door, carrying wooden baskets they have decorated for themselves using white or red ribbon, singing Yule-tide carols, splashing people with water, and asking for a gift in return.

Royal children will hang Gold, silver, or holyberries from their ribbon and go from quarters to quarters. Instead of water, they will throw rice in the air, and present each resident with a small trinket, or token of gratitude.

Wren Hunting

Groups of men go out Hunting the Wren. The tiny bird would be caged in a wooden box and carried from door to door. Householders would pay for the privilege of peeping at the poor wren in the box.

But no two families are the same. So everyone’s Yule will be different, too. The people of the Forgotten Kingdoms are free to celebrate however they like.

In Olean Ridh, their traditions are formed from the spirituality of the ancient elven cultures. Unlike Istara, most of their twelve days are spent honouring those traditions. That does not mean they do not drink and indulge.

Twelve Days of Yule

Every day, they are enjoying themselves with song, dance, alcohol and food.

Day One: 21st

► Druids harvest mistletoe and bless the people with it.

► Everyone decorates their homes with the mistletoe gifted to them by Druids.

► In the evening, everyone brings a large log to the community fire. At the end of the evening, everyone takes a large log back home to burn in their hearth throughout Yule.

Day Two: 22nd

► ‘Margadh Mor’ or the Big Market or Live Market is where everyone buys or trades for the food for Yule. This is where you buy your living poultry.

Day Four: 24th

► In the evening, children and adults alike put out food for wild animals and alcohol and sweets for fae creatures. This can either be done in the nearest stone circle, on the doorstep of their home or on a hill.

Day Five: 25th

► This is the first day people might find gifts in return from the fae creatures or spirits of nature. Gifts are often new shoes or money.

► Early in the morning, everyone goes to a stone circle to participate in the rituals that grant them luck and the spirits of nature’s favour.

► The entire community bring food to the central fire and everyone contributes food and drink to celebrate Yule. There is lots of dancing and singing.

Day Six: 26th

► Families spend their entire day together to play games amongst themselves.

Day Nine: 29th

► Everyone goes to their ancestral burial mounds and gifts offerings to their ancestor’s spirits.

Day Eleven: 31st:

► The Dead Market is held. People trade their non-living goods. It’s seen as part of the cleansing process to offload the things you no longer need.

Day Twelve: 1st

► This is the last day people can find gifts in return from the fae creatures of spirits of nature. If you haven’t got a gift, you are not favoured.

► The Yule log is snuffed out and favoured ashes are gifted to Druids, healers or struggling farmers to be used in medicine or on the land.

History

Yule is led by Druids and is an altered version of ancient elven cultures. However with the persecution of elves, Druids have had to be replaced by priests.

Food, Decor and Family

Food

► Food is often shared amongst family but for one day the entire community shares.

► The main meats of the festivities are clove-Studded baked ham, roasted goose and spiced beef.

► As Druids and many elves cannot stomach much meat, fish or foraged nuts and mushrooms are often the alternatives cooked in the same seasonings as the meat.

► For sweet treats, scones, plum puddings, gingerbread and cream are often the choice.

► Mead and whiskey are often the drinks of choice.

Decor

► Everyone decorates their home with blessed mistletoe.

► Holly, pinecones and ivy are used to make wreaths and other forms of decoration to fill the house with nature.

► The Yule log is anointed with spiced wines and dressed with holly, pinecones and ivy to cleanse the air. It also happens to make everyone’s home smell good.

Family

► Gifts are seen as an indulgence and are often frowned upon by more traditionalist families. A part of the reason is that only spirits are meant to give gifts. Unlike Istara, the belief is genuine and no one pretends a gift from a human is from a spirit.

► However, if a non-spirit does give a gift, it is usually handmade or in the form of money or food.

In the Community

► Early during Yule, Druids climb the tallest oak trees and cut mistletoe from them. Other Druids stand below with a large white cloth and catch the mistletoe to prevent it from touching the floor and losing all its magic. They then give everyone a share of the mistletoe as blessing.

► At the beginning of Yule, everyone brings a large log to their community’s central fire so everyone can share in the occasion.

► When the Yule logs are staunched on the last day of Yule, the ashes are donated for medicine or to help infertile land. However, if the log had to be re-lit at all during the twelve days, the ashes must be buried in the nearest burial grounds.

Mummering

► Families or friends don costumes and knock on neighbor’s doors throughout the twelve days of Yule. If they are let in, they will perform for their hosts and share drinks. After a while, they head on to the next home.

But no two families are the same. So everyone’s Yule will be different, too. The people of the Forgotten Kingdoms are free to celebrate however they like.

Istara is a melting pot of traditions from the times they have been both invaded and the invaders. You can find many of their traditions are milder versions of ones from Olean Ridh and Alynthia.

Twelve Days of Yule

All work is banned for the twelve days of Yule except caring for animals. Flowers are put on women’s spinning wheels to prevent them from working.

Mummers and other celebrations span the entire twelve days.

Day One: 21st

► Everyone decorates their homes and lights their Yule logs.

Day Two: 22nd

► Commoners go to the ruling Lords and offer gifts. In return, the Lord gives the commoners a jug of wine in return.

Day Four: 24th

► The largest feast of the twelve days, it tends to be a large affair. (Some Lords even invite commoners to join them.)

Day Five: 25th

► This day of quiet, contemplative worship starts with an early morning visit to the nearest temple where everyone recieves their blessings and cleansings.

► Everyone fasts during daylight hours on this day. No alcohol and no food. But once the sun goes down, everyone dances and sings and eats rich foods.

Day Six: 26th

► Parents pretend the spirits have come to give gifts to their children. The gifts are often wooden toys, sweets and new shoes.

► Lords and Ladies attend court to offer gifts to the King and his family. If the gift is favoured, they will be given a gift in return.

Day Eight: 28th

► The Feast of Fools where the servants are treated as masters is held. This meal tends to be the most entertaining for all involved.

Day Nine: 29th

► Everyone participates in the Fool’s Parade, where the commoner Lords of Misrule lead a procession to collect leftovers from their ruling Lords.

Day Eleven: 31st

► As the celebrations come to an end, everyone starts to cleanse their homes to keep evil away.

Day Twelve: 1st

► Plays are held in more abundance on the twelfth day. These are often comedies.

History

Istaran celebrations have all been influenced by the people they have invaded and been invaded by. And while Yule’s popularity ebbed and flowed, it is very well loved since the Fieldings took the throne.

Food, Decor and Family

Food

Yule is a time for feasting and merrymaking. Through the year, things might be austere but for twelve days the people get to indulge.

► Food is often shared with commoners after aristocrat’s feasts of which there are plenty.

► The wealthy indulge every night with a large plethora of foods and drinks. It often includes several mains and puddings and gallons of alcohol.

► The poor tend to only have one or two ‘special’ meals and those include only one type of main or meat. The rest of the twelve days would still involve hearty stews, sweet treats and lots of alcohol.

► Mains and meats include boar’s head, venison, mincemeat pies, poultry in sauce and thick stews.

► Sweet treats tend to be plum pudding, gingerbread and Fooles

► As a major trading country, Istara enjoys a great selection of drinks. However, spiced wine is often the preference on Yule.

Decor

► Unlike Olean Ridh, Istaran Yule logs are smaller to fit their smaller hearths. Only the extremely wealthy with their large decorative hearths use full sized logs.

► Door and window lintels are decorated with holly, mistletoe and other greenery with bells and sweet treats hanging from them. Any night one of the bells ring, parents set a small treat at the end of their children’s bed.

Family

► Families don’t often get to spend much time together throughout the year but because no one is allowed to work, the twelve days of Yule is the oppertunity for parents and their children to spend time together.

In the Community

Mummering

Families or friends would don costumes and knock on neighbor’s doors throughout the twelve days of Yule. If they are let in, they will perform for their hosts and share drinks. After a while, they head on to the next home.

Feast of Fools and the Lord of Misrule

The Feast of Fools is one of many feasts held in the households of the aristocracy (and to a lesser extent the commoners), where the family and households roles are reversed.

► In commoner’s households, the women are children are served by the ‘Man of the House’ with the youngest child appointed as the Lord of Misrule.

► In aristocrat’s households, the commoner staff is served by their Lord masters. Even the King and his family participate in the role reversal.

► In aristocrat’s households, the Lord of Misrule was voted for by the servants months in advance and they would be responsible for arranging the entertainment for all twelve days.

► In the King’s household, the Lord of Misrule is appointed by the King himself out of a choice of minor Lords.

► The next morning, the commoner Lords of Misrule all lead the Fool’s Parade through their communities to their ruling Lord’s estates. Where their ruling Lord and his family hand out leftovers (of which there is always plenty) to everyone.

But no two families are the same. So everyone’s Yule will be different, too. The people of the Forgotten Kingdoms are free to celebrate however they like.

Twelve Days of Yule

All twelve days are filled with fun, food and family.

Day One: 21st

► The Yule log is lit and homes are decorated.

Day Four: 24th

► Families throw the Cailleach (totem of an old woman) into the hearth to ward off the evil spirits.

Day Five: 25th

► First Footing, where the first person to enter a house (preferrably a tall, dark man) brings gifts of food and coal. It brings you luck for the year to come.

► Large feasts throughout the kingdom. Any leftovers are given to the servants and commoners.

Day Six: 26th

► Gifts are given to children and games are played amongst the families.

Day Ten: 30th (Hogmanay Starts)

► Major cities and communities host large parties involving lots of music, food and dancing.

Day Twelve: 1st (Hogmanay Ends)

► Midnight, fireballs festival where the locals of Liath Mor swing balls of fire to scare away the evil spirits.

History

For a long time, Yule was banned in Liath Mor due to the upheaval of wars and a sore transistion between their traditional lives and the newer ‘Istaran’ ways.

However even when Istara loosened its grip, the people of Liath Mor were hesistant to celebrate it. Only since the McNairs were removed from power and an elven family were given the rule, the people have embraced Yule and Hogmanay, again.

Food, Decor and Family

Food

► A loaf of unleavened bread is baked for each individual in the family, and the person who finds a trinket in his or her loaf will have good luck all year.

► Roasted turkey has become the traditional main course, but glazed ham and leg of lamb, among others, are also common.

► Side dishes may include black pudding, Yule bread, and soda bread.

► Yule pudding and shortbread are often served for dessert.

► Hogmanay is celebrated with Cock-a-Leekie soup and venison pie, washed down with whisky.

Decor

► Lights such as candles and oil lamps are used to illuminate people’s homes. Special powders are often bought to add to the flames and make them turn different colours. Those with magic might add some flare to their lights.

► Citizens will hang up new drapes, white in color, to let the sun in, and to symbolize new life for the new year. These drapes will be kept up, until the first sign of the first bloom of the new year.

► Like most of the countries within the Forgotten Kingdoms, Liath Mor lights a Yule log and keeps it burning in their hearth all twelve days.

Family

► ‘Redding the House’ is an annual house cleaning that rids the home of bad luck from the previous year and encourages good luck in the new. Part of this custom may include burning juniper branches within the house until it fills with smoke, then opening all the windows to cast out spirits.

► Royals will send out little wooden ships into the ocean/river with a piece of paper with all of their bad thoughts/sins, and burn them as they float in the water to start off fresh.

Community

► There’s lots of dancing in every village and town throughout Yule. The most popular being Ceilidh dancing.

Fire Festivals

► Citizens will continue to burn things that remind them of bad times, and release the bad spirits.

► Fireball swinging

► Royals will hold a festival for the dead, in remembrance of those who fell that year, burning a pyre in honor of that person.

But no two families are the same. So everyone’s Yule will be different, too. The people of the Forgotten Kingdoms are free to celebrate however they like.

Theodora Rose Caldwell || Human Passing Half-Elf || Lord’s Daughter || Victoria Pedretti

“Then you have a fitting this afternoon after you go over the plans for the party. And a dinner with Mr. Wesley tonigh-.. Miss. Theodora? Are you alright?” The question brings Theodora out of her thoughts, eyes blinking a bit as her head turns away from the window to look at the maid. “Oh, yes… I apologize, Ms. O'Reilly,” she sheepishly smiles, setting her cup of tea down after a moment.

More and more lately, the young woman would drown out everything and get lost in her mind. Some days, it just felt like the walls were going to swallow her whole and keep her in it’s warm belly until she was nothing, but bones. That thought terrified her at times. “I think I will go for a ride.” She needed to get away for a little while, feel some sort of freedom, even if it was temporary. Before any protest could be made, she quickly left the room; in desperate need to feel the air hitting her face and the wind in her hair.

The Laws

Most punishments and trials, no matter the species, will be held as equal, unless made toward certain elves. Werewolves must legally register, announcing them as a werewolf. Failure to do so will result in punishment. All species will go through the same trial as if anyone goes against these laws.

1. Treason - Any acts or mention of acts to be committed against the ruling Monarch or his family.

2. Desertion - Treated as treason.

3. Attacking an Officer - The act or intention of harming one of the Monarch’s officers.

4. Arson - The destruction of another’s property through burning.

5. Murder - The intentional killing of a human.

6. Assault - Harming another human in any way that has not killed them.

7. Obstruction - Concealing or otherwise aiding enemies of the Kingdom or suspected enemies of the Kingdom.

8. Theft - The possession of an object neither bought, traded nor gifted to the person holding it. The forceful ownership of another’s belongings.

9. Poaching and Rustling - Theft or hunting of another’s livestock/on others’ land.

10. Lewdness - Behaving in an indecent manner in public spaces. Behaving indecently towards animals or otherwise unconsulting beings.

11. Cult - If a group of people get together, without the knowledge of what is to go on during the meetings toward the ruling monarch.

12. Secrecy- The concealment of hiding one’s self from the eyes of one another.

13. Permit - The failure to work without an unregistered permit. (Gambling, Cults, Tavern, Brothel.)

The Pursuit

In Liath Mor, the King’s army, on both sides of the country, has a large presence and will take pursuit of the law into their own hands but do it still following the laws set in place. When a crime has been committed, it is the responsibility of nearby soldiers to pursue the criminal. However, if it is found a civilian hasn’t aided the army or has concealed the criminal, they will face the same punishment as the criminal themselves.

If a criminal escapes the initial pursuit, a bounty is set upon their heads and citizens will be rewarded for delivering the criminal to the local Lord.

Lewd but otherwise harmless people will net bounty hunters anything around 30b - considered to be ‘breadpay’. Vicious murderers, monsters and traitors can net hunters anything above 13S - more than most people will earn in a year but not necessarily worth the risk.

Once a criminal is in the care of the local Lord, they will be kept in the dungeons of the castle or prison if there is one in their county. Depending on the status of the criminal, they will either share a cell with others or have a cell more akin to a guest suite. (This is usually determined by the Lord’s own bias.)

The Trial

At the discretion of the local Lord, they often put the criminal to interrogation and torture depending on the crime’s severity and their willingness to talk.

It is also at the local Lord’s discretion that they will decide if the trial should be public or private.

Private trials are often ones involving aristocrats, military officials or have topics sensitive to the State. These are held in a private antechamber with the local Lord and their advisors. The criminal in question and accusers are not allowed in the trial, instead represented by written statements.

Public trials are the most common kind. The local Lord presides over the trial with a small jury of four landowners who listen to the case and determine the truth. These trials have large audiences and often roll out immediate punishments upon conviction.

Specific cases, depending on the severity of the crime, the punishment for said crime, will be determined by the victim. The punishment can not be excessive, such as the loss of body part or death. If the victim decides punishment is to work for them, they must have acceptable working hours, and not be treated as a slave. The punishment shall be verified with the ruling monarch.

Other trial types are exceptionally rare and most Lords will not accept them. However, they tend to be favored by small ‘traditionalist’ communities. Trial by Combat pits the criminal against the Lord’s favored guard and it is death that dictates the verdict. Trial by Ordeal is essentially more torture. If they survive, they will be acquitted.

On very rare occasions, there is no trial. This is usually because a deal is brokered.

The Punishments

The punishments for every crime vary from case to case depending on everything from the wealth of the criminal and their victim, to the species and motivations.

1. Treason - The guilty, no matter the species, will define a sentence based on the form of treason they have committed. After the sentence is carried out, they will be brought to the square for public hanging.

a. If seen treasonous acts occurring and does not report them, will result in their eyes being plucked out.

b. If found speaking in a treasonous way toward the ruling monarch, will result in their tongues being removed.

c. If found hearing that someone is committing treason against said monarch, and does not come forth, will result in their ears to be cut off.

2. Desertion - The guilty is handed to their Commanding Officer for their punishment to do with as they wish. If the Officer is a fair man, he will make the execution quick and will either be a decapitation or a sword down through the heart of the kneeling criminal. If they are cruel, floggings and beatings can be used. And often, those Officers will make the criminal’s fellow soldiers do the beating. This can take days.

3. Attacking an Officer - Unless the solider is found themselves of ill-meaning or unhonorable, the punishment will be imprisonment. Unless the officer is killed in the line of duty, the prisoner will be flogged in the square, then made a servant to the home of the soldier and their family.

a. If an officer is murdered, then the persecuted will be hung without question.

4. Arson - Depending on the building, arson can be punished in a number of ways. However, it all ends in burning of the stake.

5. Murder - There are varying levels of punishment for murder.

a. If an aristocrat committed unreasonable murder of someone of a lower status, they are to pay a sum double the victim’s yearly worth to their family. And double that to the State. If it is considered a reasonable murder, they only have to pay the sum of the funeral.

b. If a member of the Middle Class commits unreasonable murder of someone of a lower status, they are executed by hanging. If they commit a reasonable murder of someone of a lower status, they are fined and have to work for the family one work week.

c. If a member of any class commits unreasonable murder on someone of the same class, they are executed publicly. If the murder is reasonable, they may be acquitted or made to pay a fine or work for victims family without pay.

d. If a member of any class commits unreasonable murder of someone of a higher status, they are publicly humiliated before they are executed. Women are strangled, then burned. Men are beaten then hanged. If the murder is considered reasonable, they will be imprisoned until a patron buys their freedom.

e. Elves who commit unreasonable murder on a human are humiliated, ears cut and paraded through the city nude. Their ears will be clipped before being hung. For reasonable murder, their original status will be dropped by one station.

f. For werewolves who are illegal, no trial is needed. They will be hunted by especially equipped bounty hunters, nails removed, then killed.

g. If a legal werewolf commits murder, they will be tried like any other species other than elves.

h. If a legal werewolf is murdered, the prosecuted will be brutally beaten, stripped of their status, then exiled from the country.

6. Assault - As with murder, these vary depending on the severity and who committed the crime.

a. Aristocracy will pay for the victim to have medical care. If it is against a prostitute or indentured servant, an extra amount must be paid to their employer or owner.

b. For an assault on a lower class, Middle Class must pay reparations to the victim and anyone ‘put out’ by the victim’s injuries.

c. Assaults against the Aristocracy or Royalty will result in the criminal being ‘repaid in kind’ and then hanged.

d. Elves who commit assault, will go under a medical procedure to rid them of their beauty, and have their ears clipped.

e. Those who target and assault a legal werewolf will be flogged, need to pay them a certain fine, and various punishments depending on the severity of the assault.

If a legal werewolf is trapped with a baretrap, then the guilty will be forced to step in the baretrap.

If a legal werewolf is shot with an arrow as foul play, then the guilty will be shot with an arrow in the same area.

If a legal werewolf is publicly harassed, the guilty will be stripped nude, flogged, then dipped in honey, fur spread across their body, and displayed in the square for everyone to be seen.

If a legal werewolf is visibly treated unequally, then the guilty will be displayed in the square, and others will be able to humiliate them.

7. Obstruction - The punishment is the same for you as for whomever you aided. If that person was found innocent, you are flogged twice and kept in prison for three years and pay a fine.

8. Theft - If found guilty of theft, depending on what is stolen, the guilty will have to work for that family until it is paid off in full.

9. Poaching and Rustling - You can be shot on sight if found doing either. If it goes to court, however, you must pay the worth of the animals, be flogged,

10. Lewdness - Given its catch-all nature, there are many different punishments for this. However, royalty and aristocracy cannot be charged for this. This law was designed to protect elves and animals. (Rustlers pretend to be lewd with animals to get out of being executed).

11. Cults - If a group of people are found meeting illegally, everyone involved will be stripped of their status, stripped of their clothes, and be sent to the mountains to work for the ruling monarch.

12. Secrecy - Failing to file for a legal werewolf, will result in branding with an emblem to mark visibly. Then be put to manual labor for two years.

13. Failure to Permit- If found holding an illegal brothel, tavern, or establishment including illegal gambling, the property will be taken away from the guilty and given to someone to the lower class to be used properly. The guilty will then need to work for the monarch and be paid in half the other half will be given to the lower class member who now owns the property.

Failure to pay fines to the appropriate people will result in floggings, beatings, mulitations or execution.
