Rurall

Rurall is a small village just North of Howling Rise.

Government
Rurall has a small group of village elders that decide court rulings. New members are nominated by a current member and then voted in by a 2/3 majority by the rest of the Council of Elders. As these are the only official "government" positions, and because they are volunteer positions there is no regular tax on trade, crops, or property.

Law
The small village has no records of codified laws, nor a system in which to produce them. When a citizen or citizens have a problem with another member or situation they bring their issue to the Council who then decides the appropriate response. In civil cases, the court may decide on the appropriate reparations or punishment owed to/from either the defendant or plaintiff from the other or to the rest of the population. There is no traditional appeals process, but in light of new events, a citizen may return an issue to the council and request a new ruling, and in egregious cases restitution from the rest of the village. In times of crisis, a citizen begins a court case in which the Council decides how the village should respond.

There is no full time guard service, rather it is expected that all adult males within village limits will keep themselves physically capable of defense and at least own one weapon. Women are allowed and encouraged to participate, but are not necessarily expected to.

Additional Notes
Rurall is home to renowned Cloaks member Janis Telchine and local hero Gandr Hamon, as well as the buildings they've constructed nearby Thilivern and an Inn dedicated to Helena
