With Exile, or Civil Death, a convict is escorted to the gates, and instructed to leave the Kingdom of Stormwind for the dedicated duration. Breaking Exile is charged as a Grade 1 crime. Breaking Permanent Exile is punished by death.
Follow these steps when charging a suspect:
Collect evidence and witness testimonies, question the suspect.
Use your lawbook to access the committed crime(s) and its corresponding severity grade.
(OOC Note: If someone wants to be charged with a different lawbook than ours, let them send you a link and go ahead. Make an OOC note of this in your report.)
Apply any aggravating/mitigating factors to their crime(s) committed.
Use the individual crimes table, or the cheatsheet above to calculate the total punishment. Combinations are possible- You can, for example, punish a high severity crime with two appropriate medium severity punishments.
(OOC Note: Make sure to communicate OOCly if the other Player is comfortable with the punishments selected- Try combining punishments if they wish to avoid certain punishments- ask senior ranking members for help if necessary)

The Alliance-Anti-Piracy Act regulates how Piracy within the Alliance is dealt with.
Kingdom of Stormwind Vessels
Piracy against vessels that run the flag of the Kingdom of Stormwind are charged and sentenced in Stormwind.
Vessels of the Grand Alliance
Piracy against vessels that run a flag of any nation within the Grand Alliance may be charged and sentenced in their respective nation. Local Law Enforcement of any nation within the Grand Alliance is empowered to arrest and detain suspects of Piracy, even if the suspected Piracy was against the vessel of another nation of the Grand Alliance.
If there are multiple charges of Piracy against multiple nations of the Grand Alliance, the respective Law Enforcement Offices may coordinate a combined punishment. Otherwise, the nation within the Grand Alliance with the highest charge may carry out its sentence, and then extradite the suspect to the next nation of the Grand Alliance if they have not been sentenced to death.
The Grand Allianc consists of the following Nations;
Kingdom of Stormwind Includes Stromgarde as a Vassal of the Kingdom of Stormwind
Kingdom of Ironforge
Gnomeregan
Kingdom of Gilneas
Exodar
Darnassus
Admiralty of Kul Tiras
Neutral Vessels
Piracy against neutral cessels is charged and sentenced by whichever Local Law Enforcement Office captures the suspect.
Horde Vessels
The Alliance condemns Piracy against Horde Vessels, it is however not considered a crime Alliance Kingdoms will act upon.
A Worgen is to be considered Feral if they lose control over their actions, to be driven purely by instinct. In this state, they are prone to lash out violently, and attack anything in sight.
Feral Worgen are to be treated as Extremely dangerous. Law Enforcement Officials are empowered to use lethal force if a Feral Worgen poses a threat of a larger outbreak of the Worgen Curse. Otherwise, Feral Worgen are to be restrained, calmed with Moonleaf or tranquilisers, and to be given into the care of Druids to be taken through the Ritual of Balance as fast as possible.
A Worgen that has not gone through the Ritual of Balance is not to be considered Feral inherently, as other methods of controlling the Curse have been proven to exist.
The common practice in the Alliance is that each member state enforces their laws locally, using their own military and court.
Jurisdictions
Law Enforcement of a member state is NOT authorised to conduct law enforcement outside their Jurisdiction. The Only Extradition Treaty is the Alliance-Anti Piracy Act. It regulates that suspects of Piracy may be extradited to the Kingdoms whose Vessels were affected. Alliance spanning sentences such as banishment from all Alliance Land may only be spoken by the High King of the Alliance and his Council.
Military Units of the Alliance
Alliance Military, such as the 7th Legion may assist local law enforcement in their duty, but they do not have the Authority to conduct Arrests or Trials. If Martial Law is declared, they are authorised to exceed these limitations.
Intelligence Organisations of the Alliance
SI:7
The Highest Intelligence Organisation of the Alliance, SI:7, is under direct command of the High King of the Grand Alliance (Hereby referred to as the Alliance), and his Spy Master.
The SI:7 agents are tasked with:
Protecting the Kingdom of Stormwind (hereby referred to as Stormwind) from internal and external threats.
Gathering intelligence for the Crown of Stormwind (hereby referred to as the Crown) and the Alliance
Conducting covert operations to safeguard the Kingdom's interests.
The SI:7 operates both domestic and outside of the borders of Stormwind and has the authority to:
Investigate threats to nationa security.
Apprehend individuals deemed a risk to the Crown or the Alliance.
Within Stormwind, SI:7 agents must respect the authority of Law Enforcement Officials unless otherwise ordered by their chain of command. SI:7 Agents that are put under the Command of other Military Units are restricted to common Military restrictions. Citizens approached by SI:7 agents must cooperate fully with any lawful request or investigations.
Any grievances regarding the SI:7's operations may be brought before a magistrate for review.
The missions, personnel, and operations of the SI:7 are classified. Unauthorised disclosure of information related to the SI:7 is considered a Grade 2 or higher Crime.
Other Intelligence Organisations
Other Intelligence Organisations of the Alliance are on an equal level of Military Units.
(OOC Note: We implore SI:7 Roleplayers to not abuse the power of their characters lightly. Communicate OOCly with Local Law Enforcement Guilds to ensure everyone has a good experience)
Citizen's Arrest
Citizens may conduct a “Citizen's Arrest”, but are not legally immune in case of an error. They may be charged if the force used wasn't proportional, or the evidence insufficient.
Arresting Servants of the Crown
Servants of the Crown, both local Authorities or Alliance Military on duty are only to be arrested on committed crimes of high severity or above. Otherwise, the case is handed to their superiors for disciplinary action.
The Church of Holy Light
The Faith

However, the Cathedral of Holy Light is to be kept open to all those of the Faith, including Ren’dorei, Penitent Man’ari Eredar as well as any member of the Ebon Blade. The Church may not interfere with Law Enforcement Officials in their duties.
Scarlet Crusade
The Rights outlined above are not applied to members of the church with affiliation to the Scarlet Crusade, or other sub-organisations of the scarlet name. A member of the Scarlet Crusade or its sub-organisations may be granted safe pilgrimage to the Cathedral and return to Alliance Borders at the Church's discretion, but only under strict supervision by an armed member of the faith, who has to bear full responsibility for said Scarlet's actions.
Members of the Scarlet Crusade or its sub-organisations without supervision of an armed member of the Faith and documentation to confirm the Church's approval of their Pilgrimage will be treated as usual members of a proscribed organisation.
Species in the context of the Law additionally account for cultural differentiations such as the cultural subgroups of Quel’dorei, namely Ren’dorei and Sin’dorei.
Sapient Species and cultural groups with the capacity for feelings, considered self conscious and capable of communication. Excluded from that definition are Entities from different planes of Existence (such as Elementals), Demons and Undead (Excluding Forsaken, Dark Rangers and Death Knights of the Ebon Blade). Sapient Species are granted the following base rights:

Penitent Man'ari Eredar
(OOC Note: Individual guards, and people in general may still ignore the existence of Man’ari within Stormwind City and other Alliance territories based on the current lore despite what this non-lore bound lawbook says, this must be respected at all times. The lawbook is however now opened for Man’ari to come to the Kingdom of Stormwind without being considered an hostile entity within these territories. Please avoid OOC drama.)
Penitent Man’ari Eredar who have been vetted by the Draenei, the Lightforged Draenei of the Army of Light, Paladins or those of the Illidari and who has been designated an Overseer are to be allowed to the same rights as any other “Neutral Peoples” who visits the Kingdom of Stormwind. There are however certain conditions to this to ensure the safety of the King’s Subjects, these conditions are urged to be followed religiously to ensure unnecessary friction as well as bloodshed among the King’s Subject as well as the Penitent Man’ari Eredar.
It is to note that the only people that should deal with Penitent Man’ari Eredar in any sort of capacity when it comes to applying the law would be any Law Enforcement Unit of either the Stormwind Guard or the Stormwind City Guard if within Stormwind City itself. Other organizations have no jurisdiction to apply the law.
Please keep the following in mind;
Penitent Man’ari Eredar must have an assigned Overseer. This may be a Draenei, Lightforged Draenei, Illidari or a Paladin who oversees their penitence and is the main point of contact for Law Enforcement Officers for any issues with a specific Penitent.
An Overseer may have multiple Penitent Man'ari Eredar under their supervision.
Penitent Man’ari Eredar should not carry weapons while in Stormwind City. Exceptions to this may however be made with contact with Law Enforcement Officers or the Ministry of Justice.
They are allowed to carry weapons in the general territories of the Kingdom of Stormwind for their own self-defence against wild beasts.
Fel and Shadow magic used by Penitent Man’ari is Forbidden in the Kingdom of Stormwind
Exceptions found in the “Restricted Magic” paragraph in regards to medical emergencies and as a measure of escape.
All Penitent Man’ari Eredar in the city must be written up in the Ministry of Justice’s census. This is to keep a catalogue of the current Penitent Man’ari Eredar in the city as well as keeping track of who their Overseer is.
Penitent Man’ari Eredar should strive to cause as little ruckus among the general population, and while they are free to roam the city it should always be done under some sort of supervision in one the following manners;
Escorted by their Overseer directly
Overseer Tracking Device carried on their person
Breaking any laws within Stormwind City or the greater Kingdom of Stormwind may result in an immediate exile from these territories, the Penitent Man’ari Eredar in question must, without issue, leave and return to Azuremyst Isle or face more severe consequences.
Extreme cases may result in immediate execution
The only undead tolerated in Alliance Territory are those that can identify themselves as members of the Ebon Blade. Members of the Ebon Blade are granted the rights of Sapient Species.
All other Undead are considered kill on sight. Law Enforcement Officials are to call upon the services of the Ebon Blade as well as those of Paladins if necessary, especially for rogue Death Knights, and to prioritise evacuation and safety of Civilians over direct confrontation until forces equipped to deal with the threat arrive.
(OOC Note: Dark Rangers being considered as part of the Ebon Blade is based on Community headcanon. If you want to disregard this headcanon it is suggested to avoid or ignore situations involving the topic. Please avoid OOC Drama.)

Black Dragons not sworn to Ebyssian
Infinite/Bronze Dragons not sworn to Nozdormu in his uncorrupted forum
Law Enforcement Officials are to call upon back up immediately, and to prioritise evacuation and safety of Civilians over direct confrontation until forces equipped to deal with the threat arrive.
