The freedom nation. A neutral nation that looks past how you were born and judges you on your actions. A place to host trade and diplomacy for all where hope, justice and good shine. Slavery is illegal here. and any slave can seek asylum if they make it to the land.
Well, that's the goal any ways. In truth the nation is mostly what it seems. Yet with any people there is more below the surface. Corruption, hidden agendas, and crime are some of the few problems that still happen here. With any place that strives to be utopia, there are those that would take advantage, or even Undermind it. This nation is the most stabilizing factory in the north to keep peace. If it were to fall so would the fragile truce many kingdoms keep. Will this nation of righteous carve out its darkness? Or will the bad apples in society win and snuff out the light?
Edgbert does not require a loyalty tattoo. Some jobs might require one.
The nation is a monarchy. With supporting houses to run it. At the top you have the king or Queen. Then the royals. The royals are over a large aspect of the government. Under them you have the nobles who each run and manage a smaller part of the whole.

There are three types of crime one can be accused of. Low, High, and treason.
Minor crimes are low crimes, The guards are the judge and final say on them. The punishment is never anything lasting, a few nights in jail, a small fine, a public apology, ect. Many people have gotten in trouble for low crimes, they are minor and once your punishment is rendered its over. No real long term record is kept public.
High crimes are more sever crimes such as murder, major theft, any crime towards a noble and more. A Magistrate must hear over it and judge the outcome. These punishments can very drastically but can range from long term prison, major fines, or even death.
Treasonous crimes are any crime towards a noble or the nation. Only a Noble may rule over it.
The guards here have a lot of power. For minor crimes they are judge and enforcer. The guards can be noticed easy with the royal blue cloak they ware embroidered with the nations symbol. While the Royal guards sue a royal purple verson of the same cloak, thought they are seldom seen. Anyone not a guard are ban form waring the same color cloaks.
