Editing Sigil:Tobon (section)

== Law and Obligation ==

Tobon live under the laws of the lands through which they travel or in which they settle, but they also maintain strong customs concerning kinship, debt, hospitality, property, marriage, inheritance, and obligation.

The two do not always agree.

Stayfolk communities often develop durable arrangements with local authorities. Their obligations are known, their land recognized, and disputes can be handled through institutions familiar to everyone involved.

Wanderfolk life is more complicated.

A caravan may cross several jurisdictions in a season. Tolls change. Local laws differ. Officials disagree about rights granted by their predecessors. A practice perfectly ordinary on one side of a river may be prohibited on the other.

This has made Wanderfolk particularly attentive to agreements, witnesses, favors, and reputation.

They remember where they were treated fairly.

They also remember where they were not.
