Human
Humans are one of the civilized races of Aurasong. Originally created by Adanos, they have been chosen by Innos as his people.
The Elves refer to Humans as hasty, unpredictable, petty and selfish, but admire their passion. Dwarves think of Humans as disrespectful of others, too impatient, and far too accepting of the unknown. They also marvel at the ability to solve difficult problems and their capability for enterprise.
More than religious doctrine, historical tradition, or adherence to the laws set forth by the kings and queens of their nations, Humans tend to value monetary gain. This makes them enterprising and intuitive traders and merchants. These same tendencies often turn Humans into thieves, bandits, and confidence artists. Their cities tend to be the economic hubs for entire regions, and while they prize their own coinage, currency from every other culture can be found in their capitols.
All human regions have roads connection different settlements, these roads are usually made of stone if the region is wealthy, stones from the road missing with potholes and grass growing between the stones means the region is not doing so well anymore, where as if the road is a dirt road it is either a very rural road or the region has been poor for a while. People travelling on these roads are expected to pay a toll, the wealthier you look the more you have to pay.
When entering a city you will need someone that vouches for you, if you don't know anyone and stay at a tavern/inn then by law the inn keeper is the one that is vouching for you so some people may be turned away from inns if they don't look trustworthy.
Law and justice is quick and harsh, sometimes too quick. People often suspect outsiders first when a crime is reported. If nobility says you are guilty then you are guilty. There is no concept of innocent until proven guilty here. If you are lucky you may get a court trial but these are not in the favour of the accused. If you have money you could pay bail out of the jail and then return to the court hearing later.
If you fail to show up the first court date you may be fined, if you fail to show up on the rescheduled date you will be declared an outlaw and anyone may kill you on sight.
The judge is usually the local lord unless he hired a special judge to do that work for him. Sentences vary from region to region, if you steal a loaf of bread one lord may fine you the cost of the bread where as another lord may hang you. Running from the guard is an admission of guilt and you may be punished that day.
In most areas, stealing is punishable by lashings on the first offence, the hand being cut off on the second offence and execution on the third offence. If the goods being stolen cost over 10 gold then it counts as a second offence, if the goods cost over 50 gold you may be executed in two days.
Assault with a non-lethal weapon is punishable by lashings and some time in a prison. Assault with a lethal weapon is considered attempted murder and you may be executed in two days.
Murder will have you executed the following day. The one vouching for you in the city/town you are in will be held responsible as well and suffer the same fate. Wherever you are, as a commoner you automatically swear allegiance to the lord and king of the area you are in.
Defying your lord or the king you are in allegiance to in any way, is seen as treason and may get you executed.
