Nobles, knights, and those of sufficient rank are expected to follow the chivalric code and conduct themselves in accordance with the chivalric virtues of Honour, Honesty, Valour and Loyalty at all times. They are likewise expected to exhibit humility and mercy to friends, allies, and countrymen.
Commoners, while not bound to chivalric code, are expected to remain honest in their dealings and refrain from abusing those weaker than themselves. Everyone regardless of rank is expected to be charitable to those less fortunate, to respect those who rank above them, and to treat those of lesser rank with the proper dignity.
Additionally, there exists an earlier law which must be observed,that of Hospitality. Should an individual invite another into his or her home, the person invited falls under the protection of his host for the duration of his stay. Violation of this law is a serious offence which can result in harsh punishment under certain circumstances.
