Hello everyone,
it's first time I write something here, although I've been an active reader from the very beginning. We have a long campaign centered in and around Pavis and Pavis County. My character has established a new Dorasing/Orlanthi clan along Scritha River. One important thing: in our campaign the lunars have been defeated in Pavis and are gone forever. This means that Pavis and Pavis County are ruled in old way, the way it was before lunars.
The clans of Pavis County are under the rule of Pavis. The clans pay taxes to Pavis and get some services and protection back. I think the clans are, however, quite autonomous. Is this correct?
The Dorasing clans follow Orlanthi law, right? When is someone judged by the Pavic law? Is it possible to appeal to the Pavic court instead of local clan-based Orlanthi court? And for whom this is possible?
Another question: how clan rivalries are handled in Pavis County? Do the clans fight against each other? Under the lunar occupation I think they didn't, because there was a bigger enemy around. If a clan fights against another clan and somebody dies, by which law are the participants judged? Is there a wergild tradition? How about duels as a method to resolve a dispute? What if somebody dies as a result of such duel? Is there a cattle raiding culture among the Dorasing clans?
