Fundamental Principles
It is the duty of all nobles of Eriador to:
- Fullfill all formal pledges.
- Be loyal to the King's feudal hierarchy.
- Protect all from injustice.
- Prosecute all forces and individual endeavouring to disrupt the work of Iluvatar.
In absence of a law enforcement officer or a judge, each noble is required to identify injustice and prosecute perpetrators. Appropriate punishment are as follow:
- Noble failing to fullfill a pledge: Take culprit to the nearest lord of the land, or directly to the culprit's feudal superior.
- Disloyalty : Commoner: From fines and lashing (vandalism), execution (treason) Other Nobles: duel.
- Injustice: apologies (insult to one or others), restoration with fine, force labor, lashing, imprisonment, death (murder, rape)
- Working for the dark forces : Death.
