HOW THE SOCIETY ENFORCES JUSTICE AND ORDER
In Terraquor, justice is guided by Ethical Relativism, meaning what is right or wrong depends on each kingdom’s culture, but all are bound by the higher law of Respect.
Each kingdom has a Council of Elders who interpret justice according to their traditions and their dragon ancestor’s values.
Wrongdoers are punished according to their culture's idea of punishments. If crime is to be committed outside their biological kingdoms, the punishment that will be applied is the kingdom in which the crime was committed on.
The Respect Exam or Quorevran Vaci acts as a safeguard, ensuring no outsider enters a kingdom without first learning its customs.
Justice differs across kingdoms, but the principle of respect ties them together, preventing conflicts from escalating.
