The crimes of treason and murder are abominable and shall be avenged by the Range in which they occurred. Kinslaying is an abomination which must be punished by the faction which suffers the loss. Save that for all offenses, hallowed ground may offer safe haven to all those who seek its protection.

Law of Fergon 4301

Moreover, no one who has stolen only food or water shall be guilty of robbery or theft if they have passed at least three towns without receiving any by begging.

- Robbery is the unjust taking of property by force of arms, but shall not include the lawful spoils of war.
- Murder is the unwarranted taking of a man’s life by a person outside of his family, except under a flag of war.
- Theft is the unjust taking of property by deception, subterfuge or cloak of darkness,
- Counterfeiting is the attempt to pass some material thing as an item of higher value by concealing its true nature.
- Forgery is the attempt to pass as legitimate, the illegitimate seal or signature of a lord or noble house.
- Arson is the burning of property belonging to another, or endangering the property of others by uncontrolled burning.
We desire that the protections of forgery be extended to duly chartered companies, orders and factions which are enrolled with either the Devout Order of Clerics Regular of the Penitent Knights of Poverty, or of any of the noble banking houses.
Law of Gelder 5011
We desire that Treason also be defined so as to include murderous threats breathed against any King, and affirmation of the same either by word or silence.
