The Laws of the Isles
~ Theft, fraud, assault, murder and slave-taking are forbidden on the Isles. Punishment of such crimes range from fines and public service to execution and will be decided in a case by case basis.
~ The natural resources of the Isles are the property of the Crown. There shall be no logging, mining or exploitation of the sea without express permission. Hunting and fishing are to be for personal use only, with hunters being compensated for the resultant skins and hides. All comers are to enter the jungles at their own risk.
~ The Isles of Wyvern are an independent nation without ties to any other, and Wyvern's Cove is a free port that welcomes all comers willing to obey the laws of the Isles. There will be no hostilities of any kind within one hundred leagues of the isles, to be enforced by the merfolk of the surrounding waters.
~ All ships choosing to stop are required to pay a modest tax based on the value of their cargo. Smuggling will result in extra fines and confiscated goods, higher if the smuggling concerns minerals, coral or pearls from the Isles themselves.
