The most important laws of the Overlord are as follows:

  • Non-citizens may not bear arms in the city. They must be deposited with the guards at the gate.
  • Citizens may only bear arms if they have a certain status e.g. nobles, patriarch, are paladins or have a job that requires it e.g. bodyguard of a noble
  • It is illegal to cast offensive (or dangerous) spells in the city except in self-defence
