Law & Punishment

Moderate Town Laws
A list of moderate town laws. The The laws of a small towns are rarely posted publically, as citizens know the laws already and outsiders/travelers are often rare. Most small towns preferred to weigh each crime individually, and subscribe an adequate punishment by the town's leader/council. The laws below can be used as a guideline for the town.

In addition, it is up to the DM to decide if the town officials will want to prosecute laws that affect the kingdom, like treason (many small towns are so removed from the kingdom, that they rarely know all the rules of their kingdom, or choose not to "get involved" in prosecuting crimes that don't affect them).
