The Calbanian Empire

## Overview

The Calbanian Empire stretches from Dunwich to Latimer's Rest from west to east and from Frothese to the coast from north to south. Its people are steadfast and brave the dangers of the wilderness quite often just to trade.

## Races

The Cablanian Empire is primarily composed of humans. The next species in terms of population are goblins and kobolds whom are roughly equal in population. Further down the line are elves then dwarves. Racism is not largely prevalent in the Calbanian Empire though it does exist; generally directed at humans from elves and dwarves when it arises though elves and dwarves will also direct it at one another as well. The goblins and kobolds of Libertatem are surprisingly well educated compared to their cousins from other continents and though they generally live in separate societies from humans they are often friendly in relation and trade often.

## Calbanian Law

### Common Law

Just because it is not expressly stated in this channel does not mean the law magically does not exist. This includes "common law" such as robbery, burglary, murder, assault and more.

### Horses

Horses have extreme cultural significance to the people of Libertatem. Killing a horse is punishable by death; often even when on the battlefield under normal circumstances. That said; killing a horse in battle is rarely a crime that is investigated as often accidents happen. Abuse of a horse is also punishable by death and horses are considered 'abused' if they do not have a matt to sleep on, fresh hay every morning, are not physically under durress or being conventionally abused and additionally their stables must be mucked clean daily. For this reason many towns have a public stable which houses horses for a small fee though it is often considerably higher than other continents (often 1gp on Libertatem).

### Magic

Any spell that revives the dead is considered illegal. The study of such magic is NOT illegal. This includes spells not limited to Revivify, Resurrection and True Resurrection.

### Nobility

Nobles are not exempt from the law. In fact they are held to an even higher standard. Corruption can and does exist, however, so it is not impossible for a noble to get away with something though this is usually to abusing a technicality within the law rather than the law itself.

Nobility have the right to take someone's crimes as their own; taking responsibility for someone else's action. In this case, the noble in question is given a temporary pardon as is the person they are taking under their care. Any crimes committed by the person in their care however are also charged to the noble in question.

### Personal Property

Few commoners own their own land in Libertatem. Those that do are often considered Vassals rather than commoners and often have lesser titles of their own.

Anyone who owns their own land has the right to refuse a search by guards on their property. However, if a higher ranking official (a noble to a lesser vassal, the emperor, etc) allows it the guards may still enter their property even without their permission. Such permission can be and often is granted in advance. Additionally exigent circumstances (fire, crime in progress, etc) allow guards to enter without permission.

Siezures of property are allowed by anyone outranking the noble in question. A lesser noble can have their property rights and title revoked by a higher ranking noble. Naturally, the Emperor has no such superior.
