Customary Law
Though changing throughout the centuries, the customary laws across Moghes – and now across the Orion Spur – have become an integral component of Unathite society. Founded as a result of attempting to resolve disputes within particular regions on Moghes, and the rather decentralized approach to the enforcement of law across the planet, it was inevitable that there would develop various different approaches to legal questions that needed answers. The history of these customary laws can be rooted within the Kres’ha’nor Hegemony’s twilight years. Hegemon Kresshi sought to create a set of principles regarding trade and dispute resolution (which involved the regulation of duels), which later became the foundation for the establishment of the guilds across the planet, early in his reign as a means of bringing unity among the divided territories. Following his death and the collapse of the Kres’ha’nor Hegemony, the newly-independent kingdoms sought to continue the Hegemon’s initial ideas and further develop their own approaches – beginning an age of legal innovation across Moghes. It is commonly recognised by contemporary jurists within the Izweski Hegemony that the Kres’ha’nor Rites - the foundation of many Moghesian customary laws - was instrumental in the establishment of the Warrior’s and Matriarch’s Codes of Honour.
Kres’ha’nor Rites
Created by Hegemon Kresshi, the Kres’ha’nor Rites concerned the establishment of trade regulations, which included a primitive form of the regulation of contracts, and methods in which to handle the resolution of legal disputes that arose across the Hegemony’s subservient territories. Most importantly, it became the foundation for the guilds that came to prominence during the seventeenth century, with provisions incentivising Lords to encourage economic development through allocating Clanheads particular charters to fulfil the growing market gaps across the Kres’ha’nor Hegemony. Serfs previously without any capacity to manoeuvre through the social ranks found themselves presented with opportunities that would grow their wealth considerably – further contributing to the wealth of the Lord, who still retained rights to the allocated charters and their lucrative profits. The Kres’ha’nor Rites also introduced duelling as a viable method of dispute resolution. It outlined what claims could be settled via duelings, such as if someone had cattle stolen or their property damaged. It also implemented the choice for challengers to elect how to bring the duelling to a conclusion, whether it be upon the first sight of blood or to the death of either party. Furthermore, Hegemony Kresshi sought to introduce these regulations as a means to enable independent dispute resolution among the peasantry and to reduce the need for the nobility to interfere with activities below their social rank.
