Code Legal

The Code Legal is an official legal paper within the city of Brudavord, which is posted all over town and handed out to newcomers, outlining the crimes and punishments of the city. Brudurians take their laws and their enforcement very seriously. Although most cities prohibit the crimes within the document, it is quite unusual for the punishments to be so clearly outlined and expressed, not to mention their severity. It reads as follows:
"To all who cross the threshold of Brudavord, greetings and fair warning: It is with solemn duty and unwavering resolve that we present these laws to maintain the peace and prosperity of our populace. This document serve as your official guide and mandate. Punishment for a crime is severe and varies based on the nature of the crime, who or what the crime is committed against, and the criminal record of the convicted. Failure to atone for a crime will result in immediate exile and the criminal will be declared an outlaw of the state. Inability to pay fines or damages will result in imprisonment."
