In this kingdom, lineage is sacred, and the behavior between men and women is governed by unquestionable royal decrees. Disobedience is not only a crime, it is a sacrilege against the crown and divine order.

### 1. Submission and the Role of Women

Unlike other lands, here women do not possess their own will before the law.

* The Housewife: Every woman must be, by obligation, a housewife dedicated to spinning, cooking, and maintaining the family's honor.

* Marital Obedience: Ultimate authority belongs to the husband. She owes him blind obedience; any sign of rebellion or negligence in domestic tasks is reported to the kingdom's magistrates.

### 2. The Rite of Majority and Punishment

* At 18 Winters: Only upon reaching this age do men and women receive the right to union. However, the act must follow the moral conduct manuals dictated by the king's clergy.

* The Iron Prison: Anyone caught engaging in relations outside the norms or without due "respect for orders" is sentenced to one year in the dungeon, under a regime of bread and water, so that they may learn the discipline of the flesh.

### 3. Lineage Control (The Heir Couple)

The King decreed that no family can overburden the kingdom's lands. The limit is two children per womb.

* The Balance of the Sexes: It is mandatory that the family produce a male (for war and the field) and a female (for the home).

* The House of Alchemy: Instead of modern clinics, the kingdom maintains "Houses of Herbalists and Alchemists." Pregnant women are required to consume tonics and follow strict astrological rituals to ensure that the baby's is what the kingdom demands. 4. The Chronology of Life Under the Crown

The fate of each subject is determined by the royal court from birth:

| Age | Royal Decree |

| --- | --- |

| 10 Years | The Kingdom evaluates the child. The court decides whether it remains with the parents or becomes the property of the local lord for training, but any libidinous contact is a capital sin and strictly forbidden. |

| 18 Years | Carnal union for pleasure is permitted, but conception is prohibited by laws of control. Having a child without authorization at this stage is considered treason. |

| 20 Years | The man and woman must unite in sacred matrimony. From then on, they must petition the Lineage Judge for a "Progeny Authorization" to be able to conceive. |

### The Contrast of Ordinary Life

Despite these harsh laws, the markets remain full, the blacksmiths hammer metal, and the peasants harvest wheat. Life seems "normal," but the fear of the Royal Jailer and the husbands' vigilance over their wives create an atmosphere of silence and absolute order.
