Threatened by the bandits that roam the forest, the guilds that prey on merchants inside the walls of Acumin and certain people affiliation with the Dark Gods, Acumin enforces strict rules on behaviour and action. Breaking the law causes dire consequences for the offender.

 

Acumin employs two judges for implementing the word of the Emperor. Judge Sirgil, a tall, dark human, enforces the law to the letter. Possessing extraordinary logic he is the bane of all who try to hide the truth. Judge Mufasa, yet another tall, dark human, seems to be relatively kind compared to Judge Sirgil. This ‘kindness’ he uses as a subterfuge to gain people confidence and ruthlessly extract the real truth.

 

The Judges consider cases such as murder, trade illegalities, the obtaining of ‘non-self’ property. Any seriously important case will be administered by the Thane herself.

 

Abiding by the rules set by the Emperor Acumin also implements a few of its own, having gained these through the passing of time.

 

-         A citizen has the right to carry weapons in town proper. They must be sheathed or otherwise protected and secured to that person.

-         Hidden weapons are prohibited, any person found with one will be seen as seeking unwholesome activities. That person will be judged accordingly.

-         A weapon may only be unsheathed for the use of self-defence.

-         After dark curfew at the Trading square and town square.

-         The ingestion of depressing and stimulating substances is frowned upon. Anyone caught causing damage while under the influence of them is shipped to the temple for spiritual cleansing.
