Perdan (Realm)/Basic Law Document

Section 01: Rights

Right to Trial: All nobles in Perdan have the right to request a trial before sentencing will be passed. Others may ask for a trial to be opened against another noble, but the request must be met with basic evidence to warrant such an action.

Right to Defense: Any accused noble will be given the right to defend themselves should a trial against them be ordered. This defense can be anything from physical proof to witnesses testifying in the defense of the accused.

Right of Dismissal and Justice: The Judge-Magister reserves the right to dismiss a trial as excessive or consolidate multiple requests into a single trial at his or her discretion. This right will only be exercised in open and shut, or repeat, cases. The Judge-Magister also has the right to reopen cases if new evidence is recovered showing guilt or innocence.

Right to Protest: The right to protest actions of protestable members of the realm shall be considered an inalienable right within the realm of Perdan. While it is asked that one not go straight to protests, and try to work things out before this, no noble shall be punished for protesting a government member.

Section 02: Noble Conduct

Conduct Unbecoming a Noble: Is defined as any act in public or private communications which crosses the line from simple disagreement to degradation. Degradation will be defined for this purpose as crude or directly insulting remarks made to bait another noble into a heated, and useless, argument.

Treatment of Adventurers: Adventurers are a resource of the realm. It is generally frowned upon for an adventurer to be beaten or arrested without reason as this chases them away from nobles that might need their services. However, this does not give them the right to disrespect or abuse nobles through price gouging or other means. Adventurers do not have the rights to stand trial, but this does not mean a case against them will not be investigated.
