The Plague of the Murrain
-
This is not acceptable Pierre, the King asked for them to turn themselves in, he is King of the whole kingdom, not just the city of Arabel. The Murrian must answer as he commands, or his justice is upon them.
Elora
-
Then if you want them to answer feel free to go and convince the Bloody Baker to face Tilvertons justice.
Until then we are not extraditing anyone.
You'll also notice Tilverton has it's own lawbook
Pierre of the Black Chalice
-
Tilverton's lawbook applies in ADDITION to the King's Law, not instead of. Unless the Duke is declaring he is no longer a vassal of the Crown?
Elora
-
No.
In the lands of the Duke, Tilvertons lawbook applies instead of Arabels.
Much like in Eveningstar theirs applies instead of Arabels
Pierre of the Black Chalice

Eveingstar, Arabel, and Tilverton all have their own laws set and made by their rulers. His majesty, the King, is naturally the highest authority in the Kingdom, and has entrusted Duke Obyn to rule over Tilverton and has entrusted High Dawnlord Belon to rule over Eveingstar. While inside the lands of Tilverton, it is Tilverton's laws that apply, speaking from a strictly lawful point of view.
That said, the King has given us specific orders. He did not make a new law, he made a directive. And that directive is to hunt down the remainder of the Murrain after this week is up. It does not matter if they hide within Eveingstar, Tilverton, Arabel, the forests, or the mountains.

Of course if you hunt Tilvertons citizens in Tilvertons lands you'll face our punishment for breaking our laws.
If you want the Murrain that badly either convince Arianna to turn herself over or I don't know walk into the temple and drag her to Tilverton.
You'll likely irritate Arabels most prominent faith in doing so though

@spiffymeister said in The Plague of the Murrain:
Give them one week to turn themselves in. Any members of the Murrain are to foreswear their allegiance to their 'plague.'
Otherwise, kill them like rabid dogs.

A directive was given by our King, Cambrian. Ignoring it is not an option. If those of the Murrain find themselves innocent in this matter, they can do as the King demanded.
Urge them to renounce the Murrain and their leader. He has attacked the Capitol and he will drag them down with him into this folly. Surely a number of them wish to put an end to this madness and return to their servitude of Talona and contribute to the well-being of their new home in Tilverton.

Treason is treason Pirere. The Duke does not have authority to protect foes of the King.
Toussaint
-
Will the lot of you kindly stop spouting the word treason without knowing what it means.
Considering Charisbonde and Arianna can't be charged with treason for provoking and declaring war upon my Duke against the wishes of the King then what the Murrain have done isn't treason either.
Pierre of the Black Chalice
-
The law:
-Treason- The Act of Aiding the Enemies of Arabel, and its Leader, or its People. Concealing the actions of foreign agents, their locations, or otherwise siding with opposing national powers over Kingdom of Arabel.
Our orders:
Give them one week to turn themselves in. Any members of the Murrain are to foreswear their allegiance to their 'plague.'
Otherwise, kill them like rabid dogs.
King Matrim Goldfeather
Are you planning a self imposed exile to protect the people who just did the biggest magic attack on the city since the White Witch?
Rethink your actions before you start a war or get yourself hanged Pierre.
Toussaint
-
To be clear...
Pierre is acting on his Grace's wishes. If anything, any fault lies with his Master.
Arianna -is- responsible for a few attacks on his lands, it is a fair trade...

Nobody plague cultists versus the priestess of the most powerful religion in Arabel.
Did you lose some bets recently, Robinson?
Clerk Johnson
-
I am just pointing out objectively, Arianna is on the record for sponsoring bandit attacks on his Grace's lands.
Well, "Bandits."
Robinson
-
A far cry from creating a miasma that spread illness and terror, Robinson.
My poor boy has a cough and it won't go away now.
Johnson
-
For the last time, Johnson.
It's my boy.
Robinson

Let's not shoot the messenger. Telling Pierre what we think is or isn't correct doesn't matter. The King has already delivered his message, so all we have to do now is wait for the week to expire. Once it has, we can move on from there depending on how the situation has developed.
-DawnHammer Argun the Strong
-
We can set things in stone if we reach the weeks end with no movement, but I feel banning Ravens from entering the city or removing there legal protections from assault and murder laws while they continue to harbor state enermies is on the table.
Toussaint.
-
Shall we remove councillors legal protections for those that harbour Redlocke. The Murrain for Redlocke is a fair trade
It seems being humiliated in front of the king and losing an arm taught you nothing Toussaint.
Go home to your wife and drop your crusade
Pierre of the Black Chalice
-
No one stopping you doing that in Tilveton, but I feel you and your men will feel the hurt far more from being unable to rely on the protection of the law on the Kings land than visversa.
Amusingly that will put your men into a similar boat to tieflings and the like.
Toussaint
-
Toussaint, you have a problem with some of my brothers and sisters, or do you simply throw the name of the tiefling bloodline around like it is some insult?
There is nothing more to be argued on this matter. It is very simple.
The Murrain is to be hunted down and killed like "rabid dogs" per the King's orders.
They have a week to turn themselves in. We all know the one know as Old Jim is responsible, so that one can most definitely held accountable. If the rest of them do not wish be be dragged in this mess like him, they will leave the Murrain behind.Convince them to do so.
