Code légal {Legal Code} Depenwood
'Centuries of negotiation, decades of careful deliberation, discussion and voting have led to this ever growing document, Depenwood's legal code.'
Purpose
This document is the legal code of the nation of Depenwood, both civil and criminal, a long, well written document kept in documents available at every courthouse and chapel in the nation. But it isn't easy to understand for many, so legal advocates are necessary. Written with much grandiose language, very descriptive, flowerly flowing language, in that typical elven style.
