Galifar Code of Justice

The Galifar Code of Justice was the intricate system of laws, rights, and regulations that defined the legal structure of the unified kingdom of Galifar before the Last War. The Galifar code survives intact in Breland and Aundair. Karrnath’s legal code is more rigid and less forgiving than the Galifar code on which it was based, and Thrane’s theocratic government has replaced the code with a more stringent set of religious laws. The other nations of Khorvaire use their own systems of laws and justice that trace their ancestry in varying degrees back to the Code of Galifar.
The laws presume innocence, provide for judgment by peers, and establish a complex legal system. If someone winds up in trouble with the law, it is highly recommended that the subject obtain the services of a solicitor or councilor skilled in the Code of Justice. Even with laws and enforcers, the Code leaves enough loopholes and gaps in the system for experienced criminals to take advantage of.
