Article XIV: Religious Law in South Al Nazar
§14.1: The Harmony of Belief
South Al Nazar prides itself on being a land of religious tolerance, where all faiths are welcome, provided they do not incite violence or rebellion. The Atziri Family actively promotes the co-existence of multiple religious sects, seeing this diversity as a reflection of the region's vibrant culture and commerce.
§14.2: The Registry of Faiths
All religious groups must register with the Atziri Magistrates, providing detailed accounts of their practices, rituals, and doctrines. Unregistered faiths are permitted to practice, but any attempt to proselytize or organize public events without registration is deemed unlawful.
§14.3: Tax Exemptions and Temple Funding
Temples and religious institutions registered with the Atziri are exempt from taxation and may receive grants for the construction of places of worship. However, any funds received must be used solely for the upkeep of their temples, charitable works, or community services, subject to periodic audits.
§14.4: Mediation in Religious Disputes
Religious disputes are resolved through the process of mediation. The Atziri Magistrates appoint mediators who are well-versed in the doctrines of both parties, ensuring fair and impartial resolution. Any group refusing mediation faces fines or restricted access to the region’s trade and services.
