Policies are laws of the realms.
Background[]
It is a monarch's right to make policy.[1] Policies are made by monarchs in many of the lands kingdoms. It is their right and their privilege and it is the loyal subjects duty to follow them. Non citizens are not necessarily bound by policies and are free to state if there is a policy they may not agree with.

- Another one of Graham's policies, by the advice of Gerwain was to sacrifice a maiden each year to appease the Three-headed Dragon.

Sovereignty of Serenia[]
Serenia is generally a less violent land than most, an island of peace in a less tranquil world. This reflects both its name and its ruler's policies of harmony amongst all beings. While some of the more cynical persuasion quip that the first law of the land is "You will be happy--or you will regret it", the truth of the matter is that the people of Serenia believe peace to be the natural order of things and, in believing it to be true, ensure that it is. It is an innocent, though effective, magic which should be practiced more.
Kenneth the Huge and his Queen have legislated peace, love, and harmony between all. The penalties for breaching those laws are severe.
Icebella's realm[]
Icebella values her isolation and privacy and enforced a policy of capital punishment for all who enter her realm without invitation.
Llewdor[]
- Manannan ruled Llewdor with little mercy. The penalty for transgressions against him was usually death.
Banishment[]
The existence of 'banishment' or 'exile' appears to exist in Daventry, Green Isles and the Realm of Eldritch and Etheria.
