Codex of Laws

After the rebellion was successfully squashed, many of the policies were overhauled to streamline the identity of Parame over the Dukedoms.

If the victim is of nobility, they or their family can request that a magistrate officiates over the hearing. Civil complaints are still handled differently by each region.
