Story:
Recognizing that the growing population of Valora needed a consistent and fair judicial process, Orin Goldheart drafted a series of laws that would ensure equal justice for all. Drawing inspiration from the principles that Altharion himself had whispered to him during the earlier political crisis, Orin crafted laws that balanced mercy with fairness. These laws encompassed everything from property rights to criminal justice, designed to maintain the peace that had been so carefully nurtured since the beginning of the Golden Age.
Orin’s legal code was presented to the Council of Valora, where it was debated and ultimately adopted. The system emphasized both restorative and punitive justice, ensuring that those who broke the law had the opportunity for redemption while also protecting the rights of the victims. Courts were established in every major city, with Altheria acting as the central judicial hub.
Outcome: Valora’s legal system became the cornerstone of its society, with the Goldheart family serving as its protectors and enforcers. The system’s structure has endured the test of time, remaining in place even through the tumult of later ages. This legacy of law and order is seen as one of Orin Goldheart’s greatest achievements, ensuring stability and justice in Valora for generations.
