Asgarnian Criminal Code
I. Capital Felonies
Capital felonies are crimes of the most severe nature, and thus usually are delivered the most substantial penalties. The maximum penalty, and ultimate sanction, is death, but aside from that, exile, outlawry and a life's time held in either incarceration or penal service are also acceptable forms of punishment.
High Treason
: Actions which endeavor to bring harm to the reigning sovereign, their government or the citizens of Asgarnia, in such a manner that it is intended to destabilize the realm; to hinder or sabotage the armies of Asgarnia, designs to assassinate or depose the sovereign or members of their government, among other things. Unsuccessful attempts or designs of treasonous nature shall be charged as conspiracy and those convicted will be penalized as if they had succeeded.
Murder
: To take the life of a lawful subject of the realm, in any manner and for any purpose.
Espionage
: This crime encompasses acts when the Sovereign's court, or the facilities of their government, are endangered or compromised for the benefit of a foreign state or enemy belligerent.
Desecration
: The desecration of holy ground or the bodies of dead persons, in any form and especially in the manner of necromancy; to cause damage to the Church of Asgarnia, and thus the Sovereign, through the desecration of temples and artifacts of divine origin. An act of violence upon a temple, whether such designs are successful or not, will be penalized as if they had succeeded.
