Trolls Bane Atrocities

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 6:16 am

I think it is a worthy issue, that the people of the town, and those who pass through, see some of the horrific laws that are now in place in the town, ones that are so vague and baseless, that officials can do ANYTHING they want to you.

b) Disturbance
Everyone who disturbs the calmness and peace in Troll’s Bane by any excessively repeated verbal or physical actions and continues to do so even after official warning, commits crime in terms of the Criminal Law.

There are a lot of things that can disturb the calm. Swimming in the river can be considered this. Drinking too much can be considered this. Then, if a guard feels like it, you have to stop what you're doing, or else you are breaking the law.

e) Mummery
Everyone who tries to hide his identity and true appearance with help of clothes, armors or any other utilities commits crime in terms of the Criminal Law. If one not willing to get rid of the mummery by request of the authority, the person commits crime in terms of Civil Disorder. People can ask the authority (Governor, Captain or Magistrate) for official permission to hide the own identity by clothes, armors or other utilities.

If you wear a helmet in Troll's Bane, you could possibly face trouble with the law if they ask you to remove it. Or perhaps a hat? A robe while the weather is poor?

f) Hiding weapons
Everyone who hides weapons commits crime in terms of the Criminal Law. The Authority is allowed to strip-search someone if there is reasonable suspicion that someone hides a weapon. In general people are allowed to wear weapons for purposes of self-defense as long as the weapons are visible and kept safe.

What's wrong if someone has a small blade with them while in a tavern or store? A lot of weird things can happen. Also, you make no mention of what is considered a weapon. If a tailor has a pair of scissors in their pocket, and then tries to stab someone, will you strip search all people suspected of carrying scissors? Also, if I am to be strip-searched, can I request a female to do the procedure?

e) Disrespect of Authority
Everyone who insults, defames or treats a member of the Town Guard or Government disrespectfully or derogatorily by words or actions commits crime in terms of the Criminal Law.

Am I disrespecting any guards or officials here? If so, please don't hurt me! Tell me what to do! I can't think for myself! Let me be your slave!

h) Defamation
Everyone who purposely designs and spreads wrong facts to harm someone else or to have own benefit from doing so commits crime in terms of the Criminal Law.

I'm not sure how to respond to this one, so I'll just let it go as it seems foolish enough on it's own.

Citizens and travelers have been warned about some of the nonsense that is possible with these new rules. These laws allow for a tiny space of breathing room, but to be safe, just don't bring any weapons, wear as little clothing as possible, and don't speak an opinion about anything. You should be alright then, unless you disturb the calm, which can be decided at their disposal.

Sincerely,

After walking through half the town to get to the depot wearing her swords sheathed, with her armor over an upper thigh-lengthed thin blouse with steel greaves and shoes, her good leather pants stored safely in her bag , she stops first to look at the posts. Her cloak remains over her until she can change into her regular clothes, however she has lots of armor and weapons in her belt and bag from her loot at the crypt. She pushes the hood back from her cloak, some hair still covering part of her face as she stops to read the post with brows raised, then gets out her pen and adds a note at the bottom.

It may help, if there is a depot at each gate to store loot.

A Cloaked Man Walks To The Town Wall And Reads The Notes

Yes, some laws are just abnormal, actually that is a part too why I tried to make The Hoods Of Adron, a home for myself and more people. With no laws that wont help anyone.

"Abnormal" sounds like a disrespectful word for such just and well-intentioned laws, you should be careful with that. More people should open their eyes to this problem, just because it might not effect you directly doesn't mean it is right, or isn't your problem.

We had another successful night of passing out robes and having people put their hoods up to protest, along with speaking out, many people have signaled they agree with this skeptical view of many of these laws. Keep up the good work to those who have had their eyes open to the tyranny, wear your hoods and helmets no matter if you are asked not to. Weapons are your own property, place them hidden on yourself if you see fit.

By some laws the word 'abnormal' fits perfect. Although in my opinion.

Perhaps so, cloaked one.

It's also a worthy point to note I don't think every Trolls Bane official is evil, it's unfortunate, or fortunate depending on how you look at it, that there are still some good willed individuals within. I've been impressed with the guards as of late, despite initial distrust of Callith, he has proven to be fair and responsible. Despite laws that need reforming, they don't seem to be taking them to such poor levels.

What we deal with here is legalized crime, caused by some foolish and corrupt individuals. If you call Samantha a name, you can be put in prison for months. But guards can be tricked by those who claim to 'protect', and then be harassed verbally, possibly even physically. This is disgusting. I just wonder when more people will step up and do the right thing.

Don't roll around in the mud with the morons of the town, you will only get dirty.

Ofcourse not every official is evil. Maybe the most are not. But it depends on the rank they have. 1 'evil' one on a high rank is enough to destroy the town isnt? I wont say the high ranked are evil, but some things just don't look anymore like justice.
