The Undercity

Undercity Laws

​

For the citizens:

• Listen to your superiors. The leadership of the Undercity has final say. Disobeying or acts of treason will result in public punishment.

• Aggression toward the King or Queen will be met with equal or greater aggression.

• If you are captured, the UC may or may not try to free you. Best thing to do: Don't Get Caught.

• You will keep in-fighting to a minimum. If there is a dispute, you can: seek out a higher ranking member of the city to settle the dispute; fist fight in the town square with witnesses; leave the UC; or let bygones be bygones. If you choose to kill the person you have a dispute with, be prepared to face the consequences.

• We all belong to the same city. With that being said, if you see anyone attacking citizens or shops or anything of the sort...step in. Defend your fellow citizens.

• Always keep an eye out for anything that will help the city-and yourself. Any interesting gossip or rumors, any Intel, needs to be reported immediately. Who knows, the information you provide, if accurate and of import, might just make you rich. Remember: if you get caught, chances are you will be on your own.

• Do what you deem suitable to run your businesses with out infringing on city law. If murdering outsiders to run the meat shop is what you must do, do it. If robbing an outsider blind to pay for merchants unsavory goods to be smuggled in, so be it.

For Visitors:

• Mind your step and your words within the city. Insults, aggression and actively hunting bounty hunters will be met with retaliation and/or ejection.

• Guards are not for your protection but for the city's.

• Theft will be met with any punishment deemed necessary.

• Aggression towards any citizen will result in punishment.

• You are not, under any circumstances, allowed to enter the Keep without express permission from a higher ranking member of the city.
