Aurlûnor Velande/Laws

In the Aurlûnor Velande, the Imperial Law is a series of codes, and ethics that are in accordance to the enforcement and legal process of the nation. This page shall serve as a guide to these laws to help make clear of these laws to visitors or citizens.

The Velereth, the Four Grands and the Imperial Family are immune from the law. The Velereth can however, override any decision, and can punish for any reason, but it can be seen as an act of tyranny if the punishment is not enough to warrant an override.
