Talador

## About

Talador, A place surrounded by rocks and Forest. Talador is home to the Absorption Neni. Taladorian’s are also well known for their fighting style. Each one of their classes is based off a Rouge Class type.This is because they fight mainly with fist and surroundings due to Absorption techniques normally being done from touching the opponent. Because of this the Rocky plains of Taldador serve as a great hide away for close up sneak attacks. Talador’s main population holds off in the camping grounds of a cave. The Company  Purloin Agency, offers people the Neni to steal from others. The people of Talador act like Elven Monks. The way they worship their god, as to Talador is one of 3 places where the God of the land is worshiped. However, Taladorian’s live most their lives in hiding…This is because the Country of Talador borders EVERY 6 of the other countries and is the main starting point for war. The Abandon City of ruins is a normal battlefield of Talador.

## Culture

they have a ritual were they take one as an
 offering and absorb all of his or her power close to death and they
have some kind of spiritual journey to speak with their god Arakel. If they comes back they is refined and cheered upon the Taladorian’s worship Arakel so devotedly that they will even throwaway their very lives.

## Government

## Laws

Adulterers: 100 Lashes   Both the male and female who are guilty of adultery or premarital sex are to be flogged with one hundred lashes. Absolutely no mercy is to be given. It is to be witnessed by a group of Taladorian's. The adulterers can only marry a person who has been found guilty of the same crime or an unbeliever

Unsupported Accusation: 80 Lashes   If a person accuses a good woman of sexual misconduct and cannot produce four witnesses, that accuser must be flogged with eighty stripes and never again will their evidence be considered

Retaliation for Murder   When a person is murdered then retaliation is allowed as long as it is “equitable.” A free man is to be killed if a free man was murdered—a slave for a slave and a female for a female. If the wronged party forgives then a liberal fine should be paid

Cut Off Hands of Thieves   Men or women who steal must have their hands cut off as a reward for their deeds. This will be an example for others

Behead and Maim   The hearts of the infidels will be terrorized so Muslims should attack with courage and behead them and cut off all their fingers. Maiming your victims will show that opposing Allah and Mohammed results in severe punishment.

### Female Taladorian slaves

Female slaves were to be treated differently from males. Parents could sell their daughters into slavery.

If a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves do. If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He does not have authority to sell her to a foreign people because of his unfairness to her. If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of daughters. If he takes to himself another woman, he may not reduce her food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights. If he will not do these three things for her, then she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.

### Male Taladorian slaves

If you buy a slave, he shall serve for six years; but on the seventh he shall go out as a free man without payment.*If he comes alone, he shall go out alone; if he is the husband of a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.If his master gives him a wife, and she bears him sons or daughters,*
the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go
out alone. But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife and my children; I will not go out as a free man,hen his master shall bring him to God, then he shall bring him to the door
or the doorpost. And his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he
 shall serve him permanently.

### Non-Taladorian Slaves

If the Taladorianites wanted full slaves they were instructed in Leviticus

*As for your male and female slaves whom you may have—you may acquire*
male and female slaves from the pagan nations that are around you. Then,
 too, it is out of the sons of the sojourners who live as aliens among
you that you may gain acquisition, and out of their families who are
with you, whom they will have produced in your land; they also may
become your possession. You may even
bequeath them to your sons after you, to receive as a possession; you
can use them as permanent slaves. But in respect to your countrymen, the
 sons of Talador, you shall not rule with severity over one another.

### Hereditary Slaves

The children of slaves were born into slavery.

*If his master gives him a wife, and she bears him sons or daughters,*
the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go
out alone

### Beating slaves

Beating slaves was perfectly allowable under the following rules:

*He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death.*

## Escaped slaves

An escaped slave could not be handed over to his master, and would gain full citizenship among

*You shall not hand over to his master a slave who has escaped from his master to you. He*
 shall live with you in your midst, in the place which he shall choose
in one of your towns where it pleases him; you shall not mistreat him.
