He is a nobleman, after all. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't nobility above the law, unless it pertained to treason, or other offenses against the sovereign? (That's what we're taught in American high schools)

Depends entirely on the culture and time period. There was actually an ancient civilization that gave nobles higher punishments than the peasantry, because they were expected to serve as an example to all.

In most of Echion's Petty Kingdoms, nobles are not above the law. In fact, the power of the nobility has actually been slowly phased out over the years, and many petty kingdoms allow commoners to own land.

Meanwhile in the Kingdom of Sorus, which is still very much dominated by the nobility, nobles are still held accountable for their actions, although sentences tend to be more lenient and minor offenses can be outright ignored if the family is powerful enough.

The only culture that really puts their nobles above the law is the Drow Empire, but Cyrus's claim won't be considered valid there because he's not a Drow.

Actually, his claim isn't valid anywhere, because he was disowned, wasn't he? Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

They're not going to whip you over that . The Captain only issues whippings for serious offenses, and will usually turn them in to the guards or kick them out afterwards. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.
