[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8227245, member: 20564"] I answered this in the original post. The story works right no matter which way it is because I control the rest of the context as well. In some way this is world building, and just like I get satisfaction from having believable but unique cultures, this is something else I'd like to do right. Especially since it's not one I've delved into before, and with a real lawyer I was asking for help. Good folks on here provided a lot of great points. To give more detail, the characters are embroiled in a big plot that's all very legal but not what they want, and deciding to rebel against the law or try to solve this from within is a big moral choice. We've got characters running the gamut, up to assassinating the regent. This side piece should have solid legal basis. If they support law or not will have ramifications on the main plot, especially if they end up acting hypocritically if their solution here is the opposite of their eventual solution in the bigger plot. So for the integrity of the big plot, I need a strong legal argument one way or the other. Regardless if it can become messy and peopel not obeying the law. Regardless of which way it works out, since I can make both work for me. I thought I had laid out exactly what was needed, and there's been a lot of helpful posts that took me at face value instead of assuming I needed something different than what I asked for. So thank you for the advice, I'm sure it was offered in good will, but it's not what I need as the story is best served by a strong legal argument so we can see their choices around it. [/QUOTE]
