====== CREATING LAWS ======

People and their governments may create laws governing many different aspects of life.

It is not recommended to try to draft a complete code of law for each culture or government within your setting.

Instead, consider the in-game ramifications of Adventurers interacting with 1-3 major legal categories of a region.

Also, pick 1-3 areas of law and change them from the overall default in your campaign to create diversity and variety as Adventurers explore the setting.
