The most basic rules for free men are:
Your honor is your guide.
Attire
It is requested that you show a patch or belt rope with the city colors somewhere upon you. It is also the Administrator's request that you follow his silks for the city guidelines. Doing so will place your property under the strictest protection from misuse by another. Failure to use proper silk colorings to guide citizens in the status of said property, will result in a less than favorable protection by the Administrator's guards. The city colors are blue, green and black.
Weapons
All free men shall carry steel regardless of Caste. If not registered, you are only allowed use of 2d22 dice.
Conduct
If a free woman's behavior offends you. speak to the woman's companion or to the Administrator before any action is taken.
Free women whose behavior offends you may be subjected to:
Chaining - Being chained and confined to her house. This should be done only with the permission of the guardian/companion, house master or Administrator.
Public whipping - This would be done in such a manner that the woman's ankles, face and front are not exposed to sight. It will require the permission of her companion/guardian, house master, or the Administrator. If permission is not gained, it would be considered an assault.
Punishment Collar - This would be a collar for a set amount of time. The free woman would, after serving the time, be allowed to return to her station as a free woman again. It would be a punishment meant to deter her from future events that would lead to the collar being permanent. Her collar would make her subject to being pleasing and subservient to all free. No retaliation by her after being returned to her station would be tolerated. No taunting of her once returned to her freedom would be allowed. If however, she forgets she may end up in a collar of a irrevocable nature.
Face-stripping - This could risk a serious charge from the companion/guardian or house master of the woman if it cannot be fully justified.
Enslavement - Requires a "Writ of Enslavement" from the Administrator.
Impalement - Requires a "Writ of Execution" from the Administrator.
Punishments
Free men who violate the conduct of their codes or commit crimes against their fellow citizens as mentioned herein, could be subject to the following punishments:
Removal of appendages - This could be a hand, arm, foot, leg, etc.
Voluntary submission to a collar - This is offered in some cases where the crime calls for death but the Administrator sees redeeming qualities in the man or his conduct. Warriors will never be offered this option.
Torture - Extreme torture leading to death.
Banishment - This would strip the man of his station and cast him outside of the city walls forever.
Death - This would be done by impalement or another method as decreed by the Administrator.
