Forenote
As compiled by the twin queens of the Glade and their Councilors, the following outlines the laws of the Corithien Dominion for those who wish to reside or travel into its boundaries. It should be noted that this document was approved by the Ia’cilmeri who has the final word on any particular issue. While this documentation ordains the law of the land for those who live here and those who enforce it, it is the Ia’cilmeri who has final say in issues of gray.

Audiences
Issues of law are handled by the relevant Teralor of that territory, that being the Khari’cerr and Aeri’cill, while the Lla’viltir is expected to handle arrests and punishments. It is under their jurisdiction to accept or deny if an audience is requested for matters of minor crimes and social inquiry.

The Lla’viltir, or Teralor, may call an audience with the Ia’cilmeri is they are unsure of the proper punishment for prisoners. The Ia’cilmeri having the exclusive right to step in provided they see a punishment of a prisoner as unjust.

If a citizen is facing serious allegations from a different party that could possibly get them banished/harmed, an audience may be requested to plead their case. Including one witness of their choosing.

Citizens may seek justice and ask to speak with the Ia’cilmeri if they believe they have been treated poorly by a member of the Corithien Governance.
