Harsh Town Laws
A list of harsh town laws. Harsh laws are usually the result of a strict and oppressive ruler; or because the town has faced some recent turmoil that brought about the town's desire for such laws (for example, a town facing a drought, may have stricts laws on water use, consumption or theft). If you choose to use harsh laws, make sure your players are aware of these laws.
