It would seem this has come up this past fair and others before this, I have struggled to search but cannot seem to find the Laws of the land posted anywhere on the Tree.
Is there a current list of Laws of the Kingdom that is avalible for view?
When I first traveled here I was informed that they follow standard Evendarrian Laws. Having never been to Evendarr I would greatly appreciate a posting of the laws. Perhaps using a fairly sturdy nail or spike to make sure the posting of laws do not get lost within the many messages upon the tree.
Thank you,

Elias
I have a copy on me at all times that you are welcome to read next market day. Elandrin also has a copy in the back of the Healer's Guild book that you can look over also if you would like.
Sincerely, Lady Keeva Dogrumi

Lady Keeva,
Would you be willing to transcribe it to the tree? I am willing to do that if you have other matters to attend. These are the current laws of Caladore correct and not those of Old Caladore? I ask only to see if the laws have changed at all since the return from the mysts.
A posting from The Baron would be greatly appreciated. I just wish to have the most complete set of laws available for all who wish to adventure to Caladore, as ignorance is no excuse.
Thank you Lady Keeva,

I also have copies of the laws available in the Celestial Guild. We can talk to the Baron about posting the laws. With his approval, I can scribe the laws here.
Master Sebastian

All the laws of Evendaar apply as well as these simple tenets of Caladore
1. No Chaos 2. Undead must be attacked on sight 3. No Murder 4. No Assault 5. No Theft 6. No circles outside 7. No Slander
The one most people question is #6 and that is because it can be used as a portal point for the enemies of the land to quickly bring troops to harass the town.
These are in addition to all the laws of Evendar

All the laws of Evendaar apply as well as these simple tenets of Caladore... 2. Undead must be attacked on sight Baron Tolmydian, I admit that I am long since my last visit to Caladore, but is this truly a law? It would seem that such a law would do nothing save force individuals to throw their lives away in pointless battles. Should a young adventurer be compelled by law to do battle with a lich that would surely slay him? As a former magistrate of the territory of Willowdark, and the long-time sheriff of the town of Wayside Lodge, matters of law and their precedent are of keen interest to me. Passing a law making it illegal to offer aid or succor to the undead seems reasonable within in the context of the Accords of Avalon, but criminalizing survival seems somewhat beyond the bounds of common sense. I ask for clarification on this matter, as I and my companions are likely to be visiting your grand city in the months to come. I thank you for the consideration. Sincerely, Keenan Burnflame Battlemage of Willowdark

I would ask what gives you right to question the laws of a Baron. Not only are you questioning laws of these lands I find the tone in which you are doing to be extremely rude.
As for the law itself when I was a young adventurer it was explained to me that everyone must fight those undead within their capabilities. My Lord Baron would never ask a new adventurer to take on a Dracolich by themselves. But to fight skeletons that attack our fair town. And the other side of this law was explained that no one is to raise undead for you then would be breaking two of His Lord Barons Laws.
I would ask that if you have further questions on the laws of the lands you send a private message to Lord Baron Tolmydian his Squire Gleenan.

Master Keenan,
If you are not capable of killing a particular undead or a band of undead please seek assistance from the Guilds about Caladore. That law was in place because of certain individuals decided to twist the laws about and consorted with them. And in fact even became greater undead themselves.
And Kashaca while meaning well is still suffering from the release of his grandfather and the stress it is causing him.

I would ask what gives you right to question the laws of a Baron. Not only are you questioning laws of these lands I find the tone in which you are doing to be extremely rude. Master Kashaca, I meant no disrespect to his lordship, only to question that which seemed in error. To what right I have, I would answer that I am a freeman of the Territory of Willowdark, and our people believe in the ability of any man to question that which does not seem right or just. I understand that many believe differently. I offer them no offense, save that which they choose to take from my words by their own regard. I ask this question because I have more than once visited lands which held the letter of the law in superior regard to its spirit. While the Caladore I knew once in a bygone time was not such a place, I know not what this new Caladore holds for those who might seek out its bounty. I hold no particular love for the undead myself. Indeed, the undead are as much a blight upon Willowdark as upon any land I have yet personally visited. However, to ask others to fight beyond their skill by the writ of law is a perversion of the spirit of the covenant held between noble and commoner. That is to say, a noble might order a man to his death in time of need, but to order a man to choose between suicide and disobedience for no gain is poor leadership. As the law was presented in a truncated fashion, I sought only to clarify the matter, which has now been offered to me in a more expanded version. I thank you for the consideration of your reply. Sincerely, Keenan Burnflame Battlemage of Willowdark

And Kashaca while meaning well is still suffering from the release of his grandfather and the stress it is causing him. Baron Tolmydian, I thank you for your personal attention to my concern. I had assumed that an incursion of the living dead at some point in the past had caused such an extreme law to be placed on the books. However, the wording of your initial posting was such that any nobleman with an eye toward the letter of the law, instead of its spirit, could simply accuse a citizen of not throwing his life away during an attack by the undead. I have known such men in the past, and only sought assurance that such waste of life and resources is not the intention of the highest authority in the land, namely your own most honorable self. As you have provided me with the gracious gift of knowing your intentions in this matter, I am somewhat mollified. My best wishes to Master Kashaca in his time of grieving. I take no offense from the efforts of others to defend the honor of their liege. Sincerely, Keenan Burnflame Battlemage of Willowdark

If she gets a gut shot in, I see her winning, but it may bite her head clean off before then... which will just piss her off when she comes back and opens it's belly with her sword to get it back.
I am sure she will let you hold her stuff while she comes back.
