Crime and Punishment

Posted by Valdemar on 06/30/19
In light of High Lord Victus Thrax's proclamation declaring an eventual end to thralldom, with no new thralls to be created, house Grimhall has needed to revisit punishment of criminals in our holdings, and has worked with Chief Magistrate Octavia Kennex toward this end. From this day forward, all magistrates will present convicted criminals with explicit sentence choices for all crimes other than manslaughter, murder, conspiracy to murder, and treason. For these particular crimes, punishment will remain the sea cross. However, for any lesser crimes than these, criminnals will have a choice. Examples include banishment from Grimhall territory or two years of forced labor for crimes of minor violence, and loss of a hand or four years forced labor for crimes of property. It should be noted that the forced labor will be for a fixed amount of time in every instance, that cannot be extended in any way once the criminal has made that choice, and will never exceed five years at a time for any particular crime.
