Guidance for the Judiciary
|
Incest
|
The practice of consanquinous union is likley to produce abominations as offspring. It is well
known that among Imperials, Minotaurs are born as a result of this. Since the consequences are
sufficent punishment, the law does not add any extra bounty. |
The secret is out! They're really Imperials, rejected by their parents.
|
Necrophilia
|
Congress with the dead (or undead) is expressly forbidden by Imperial Statute. Judges are
permitted to take into consideration the context of the offense, such as rape by zombie (no
further punishment needed), or where both parties are undead of their own volition, (although
this scribe knows of no case of female Liches). |
Falanu may have some wiggle room - though I don't see her becoming a Lich |
Bestiality
|
Judicial discretion allows varying punishment dependent on the creature involved. Higher fines
are to be imposed when the creature is docile and domesticated, and lesser ones for more
belligerent beasts, who will have no doubt extracted some punishment of their own.
Also, we need to consider the intelligence of the beast. Let us not forget that Khajjit and
Argonian were considered "beasts" not long ago. Fines can no longer be imposed when either
race is the topic of the complaint, indeed the Khajiit or Argonian has a case for defamation
against the complainer! |
Minotaurs = Imperials, so not an offense at all? |
Vampirism
|
Infecting a partner with vampirism as a consequence of intercourse is considered an assault if
the vampirism was concealed at the time. The offended party is often unaware of this until a
day or two later, so the law permits the complaint to be lodged even after such a delay. This
can of course make it difficult to identify the assailant, particularly if the girl complaining
is a Dunmer. |
The author must be a Bosmer, or he wouldn't be so insulting! |
Sadism
|
This is only considered an offense if a party actually dies, in which case necrophilia is
assumed to have taken place. Other assaults are already covered by the law, and if the victim
complains, the intent is not relevant. |
Silanu was right to flee when she did.
