Guild and Church Law
The Guilds and Churches of Ithron may institute such laws as they see fit in relation to their Guilds or Churches, but the Law of Ithron takes precedence over Guild/Church Law. The Chief Justice must ratify all Guild and Church Law. These laws usually apply only to members of the appropriate Guild or Church. Any Guild or Church law that is broken by someone not of that Guild or Church must be tried by the Courts (This will count as a Major Crime unless the penalty is death where it will be a Capital Crime). The Guild Protector/Defender of the faith will arrest the lawbreakers and administer punishments.
Attempted Law Breaking
An attempt to commit a crime shall be treated as if the crime had been successfully carried out. Conspiring to commit a crime is not in itself an offence. Where the nature of the attempted crime is unclear (e.g. was it attempted assault or attempted murder) then the presiding Judge or Magistrate shall determine the nature of the crime. A lower sentence may be issued if the crime was not actually carried out.
