Crime and Punishment

Examples of crimes:

• Trespassing into people’s private homes, the palace or any restricted places would result in little to no punishment if the act was unintentional. Otherwise, the offender is usually fined. In such cases, one should pay their fine at the tax office in the royal palace.

• Stealing is a serious crime as it is considered as trust-breaking. Stealing is punishable through labour duty but for a limited amount of time. The judge would usually ask the offender how long they think they should be punished for before making the final call. The severity of this crime is usually associated with the value of the goods that have been stolen.

• The act of murder is unacceptable and is one of the most severe felonies. In judging a suspect of murder, a public court meeting is held and the community would decide their fate. Unless with understandable motives or specific factors, murders are usually displayed publicly before starting to serve an indefinite time in forced labour.

• Treason is the most severe of all. Any plotting or scheming against the emir will be considered treason. The Royal Guard will constantly be on high alert if there are rumors of a potential plot. The punishment for treason would be a public execution with the offender’s body left exposed and displayed. It is also considered every citizen’s social duty to report any suspicious activities, and failure to comply so, upon being discovered, could also result in criminal punishment.

*It should also be noted that no weapons or substances may enter the Royal Palace. The only people permitted to have weapons are those trusted by the admiral and the Emir/Emira. Taking a weapon inside the palace without permission will be considered as attempt at murder.

Apparel

Despite the many differences between the two races, both the Khadan and the Dark elves have managed to develop a common trend in apparel.

The harsh climate of Anjyarr has made both races favor loose, layered robes and dresses made out of many different materials such as cotton, linen, silk or satin. The wealthy will often be seen wearing clothes accessorized with many different jewels usually made of precious metals such as gold or silver.

The robes and dresses of the Akhadi are usually very colourful and often have accents of gold weaved within the fabric. The only difference between the two races, when it comes to their apparel, is that the elves prefer elegant dark-coloured robes decorated with mostly purple gems and inlaid with silver instead of gold. It is also usual for Akhadis to wear piercings.

While traveling through the desert of Anjyarr the Akhadi are often seen wearing hoods over their heads as protection as well as to hide their identity. On top of that the women are often seen wearing veils covering their face in order to keep the sand out of their face and prevent it from reaching their eyes.

Religious Beliefs

Pantheon of Fineall,

a religion that is based around worshipping the god Fineall who is a part of the Pantheon of the Phoenix. This specific religion puts a heavy emphasis on loyalty, freedom and unity. The majority of this religion’s followers are Azari’lunn, but occasionally, Khadans who share an extremely close relationship with certain Azari’lunn could be influenced and persuaded to devote themselves to Fineall. However, generally speaking, one would rarely find anyone besides the Azari'lunn devoted to Fineall.
