Laws and Honor Codes (Valgora Supplement)
The Laws of Men and Gods administer the lives of citizens throughout the lands. Meticulous in some places, they may be all but non-existent in others. Travelers should be aware of the laws of the land they are in at all times.

The Codes of Gods[edit]
The Order of JuWell[edit]
Marriage, at least monogamous ones, are forbidden by JuWell. Followers are requested to seek pleasure and experience for themselves in whatever ways possible, but to never harm another individual or force them to do something against their will.
The Order of Vargach[edit]
Vargach demands strength and confidence from his followers. Pride in their job and life, and the ability to help others who cannot help themselves. Followers are expected to fight injustice, evil, and general darkness wherever it may be.
