The Precedents

• Ruatha Hold, 8th Interval: Bronzerider F'lar kills Lord Holder Fax in a duel, and is not charged with any wrongdoing. This was a case of willful death.
• Tillek Hold, 9th Pass: Guardsman Dushik is expelled from Tillek Hold after three times killing a man while brawling. It was in the Hold law codes that a man was to be given three chances before he was to be blacklisted.
• Ista Hold, 8th Pass: Lady Rinella, the Lord Holder's sister, accidentally killed a thief while trying to get him away from one of her ladies just outside the Hold Courtyard. No charges were brought, as it was determined that the thief, acting on an illegal errand, should not have been there and was therefore at fault.
• Telgar Hold, 6th Pass: "No man shall be exiled for murder who did not have a motive of malice or who did not exhibit wanton carelessness in his actions." - Telgar Law Codes, effective since the 6th Pass and still on the books.
