Laws and Codes of the Realms
The World Watchers are conversant in the major ways, laws and codes of honor in the realms. Many can serve to officiate and process grievance’s where local custom allows. The basic Laws and Codes of the Realms are well documented and posted. Aside from them barristers (Advocates), lawyers (legal filings and procedures), magistrates (territorial legal authority), and judges make up the legal system in most places. Crossing the law will land one in one of the many Prisons and Gaols of the Steel Realms.

Additionally, there is a ‘Landsmen Civic Code of the Dominion‘ – a common code adopted by all rulers under the High Kings Lands.
