Kal'Cal'Luh Governance

## Governing Body - The Bakasawagi

The current ruling power in Kal'Cal'Luh is the Bakasawagi, an organization of misfits, orphans, former and current criminals, the head of which is a horse Half-Breed named Reina. This group is separate from any alliance faction, nor a member of the gilded accord. The Bakasawagi laid claim on Kal'Cal'Luh, and garnered allies there, in a defiant effort to oppose any attempts of expansionism or strong-arming by outsider factions or guilds.

Long-term residents and merchants residing or operating within Kal'Cal'Luh will be referred to as protectorate residents.

Allies of the Bakasawagi residing and/or operating within Kal'Cal'Luh currently include:

* The Circle of Ravens - Stavros
* The Banken Company - Kira Rikuo
* The Green Tribe - Chief Bigger Rock

## Jungle Laws

These laws pertain to all within the jungle region of Kal'Cal'Luh, under custodianship of the Bakasawagi and their allies.

The more crimes committed by a character, the harsher the suggested punishments become. Particularly notorious individuals may be subjected to increasingly severe punishments, up to a Player Kill if brought to a Game Master.

Repeat Crimes:

1. Standard Punishment
2. 1.5x Punishment
3. 2x Punishment
4. 3x Punishment
5. 5x Punishment
6. Subject to PK with GM Approval.

*\*Characters serving jail time may not be played outside of jail unless they escape, serve their sentence, or get bailed out. You do not have to be logged in to serve your sentence; you may even play on an alt character while your main serves the sentence. You may only attempt one escape attempt with a GM present, no exceptions.*

## Statute of Limitations

Crimes may be forgiven, but never forgotten. There will always be records kept, but individuals may have certain crimes forgiven when determining severity of punishments, assuming older crimes had their fines paid and sentences were served, and enough time has passed:

* Tier 1 - One Month
* Tier 2 - Three Months
* Tier 3 - Six Months

## Jungle Pardon

The leader of the Bakasawagi may choose at any time to pardon any individual of some or all of their crimes.

## Trial by Public Contest

Should two individuals have a dispute, each may agree to settle the dispute with a public contest. The contest may be a test of physical, magickal, or weaponry prowess. Violence and injury is allowed, with exception to intentional death, unless granted by the leader of the Bakasawagi.

Such contests must include:

* An agreement, either verbal or written, of what is settled by this contest.
* More than 1 witness for each side of the dispute.
* A member of the Bakasawagi to oversee a fair contest, while ensuring the contest immediately ends when there is a clear victor and loser, and any medical attention is offered to both participants, and that the victor is provided any applicable winnings by the loser.

*\*Death as a result from a contest is not intended to be permanent, and may result in an echo stone revival.*
