In the Holy Empire of Cavlan, law is established through Imperial legislation and decrees issued by the Holy Emperor or, where permitted, by duly appointed authorities acting under Imperial sanction. All acts of law, whether concerning the rights of citizens, governance, or regulation, are codified and recorded to ensure clarity, order, and legitimacy in the administration of the state.
The Official Code of Law of the Holy Empire
The Codex Legum Cavlaniensis is the central, organized body of statutory law in Cavlan. Modeled in structure after the United States Code, it is divided into titles and chapters covering all areas of public, civil, and administrative law. Every officially enacted law is systematically codified here for reference, interpretation, and enforcement by governing authorities and the citizenry.
