The large number of races of the realm, their differences, and alignments, leads to a multitude of laws. A few of the more interesting laws of the land are listed below.
Closed Gun Ports
This is a law in most large empires of the realm, especially those visited by sky and voidships. This law says that gun ports of ships must be closed when entering a city's airspace ( typically an area of 2,000 yards from the city's outer walls ). If a vessel does not have coverage for their gun ports, then it must stopper all of its cannons and await escort into the city.
Ivory Sanctity
This is a law of Ivory Asylum. In the territory of this empire, it is illegal to take ivory from dead elephants or poach them. Ivory is not allowed in the empire in any form, except naturally. The penalty for poaching is death by being hanged, drawn and quartered.
Giant Specification
A Harknori law, it was enacted after the city was occupied by a horde of small demons. Holed up in dwellings and small warrens, hard to reach, the demons kept the city's giants at bay for six months. When the demons were finally liquidated, Harknori enacted a law whereby all existing structures that were not sized to accommodate giants must be torn down; all future structures must be built to giant specifications.
Map Restrictions
In the Orchish Empire, there are restrictions on producing or keeping maps of Orchish Empire fortifications, city layouts, and areas beneath them. Maps that are produced must first pass through the internal security division of the Fograth.
