New Babylon Laws [stream & comment section]

[Gilgamesh]

Blurred vision comes to the screen as a shaky video comes into play. It is clear that the person holding the video is running and is panting heavily. The person brings his face to the camera showing a sun-kissed teenager who has been clearly living off the streets for too long. He is breathing heavily through his smile. You can hear a confident man speaking in the background.

"Here I am in the city of Nippur where a team of primes has shown up for the first time in so long. Rumor has it that Gilgamesh himself has shown up to save us." It is clear the boy is a fanatic and is hopeful.

“I am your King once again and will establish the following set of laws. These laws will bind our primes to you, the citizens of Nippur. You will always be protected."

Gilgamesh's voice is heard in the background, the boys face lit up as the camera came to a stagnate.

"I'll try and make the laws more easy to understand. I've heard Gilgamesh can be a bit wordy." The boy's excitement is palpable and he turned the camera to see the Golden Clad King proudly standing.

One! Banishment is hereby forbidden. It is an inhumane punishment that is worse than death. However, that is not a means to declaw our wonderful city. In extreme cases I will allow an exception



Two! We must not turn against one another in this time of recovery. Therefor, babylonians cannot attack other babylonians. 



Three! All members must be civil and uphold honor. Those who do not abide by this will be punished by me, the King!



Four! My loyal primes must decide amongst themselves for anything that does not need my supervision. However, this must be done to help the city and only the city.



Five! If anyone abuses their power in my Kingdom, they shall be rightfully stripped of power.



Six!  Admission into the Kingdom will be decided by me.



Seven!  Any law that I, Gilgamesh, deems fit, will be overseen by my lessers and implemented.



Eight!  Aggression from outside the Kingdom is treated as aggression towards the entirety. You, however, shall not incur the wrath of others without the my permission. If you do, you are held accountable of your own actions.



Nine!  You loyalty should be to serve me, however you may be able to divide your time amongst other, less important, groups.



Ten!  Any member of my Kingdom may have an audience with the King.



Eleven! Civilians are of the utmost importance to a city and must be protected. If a prime violates Nippur's citizens in any way, on their first offense they will be exiled and barred from city entrance. A second offense from the same prime elicits hunting down and capturing this prime for a public execution. For a prime that has sworn to defend the city, on a first offense will be publicly executed by Gilgamesh.


Twelve! I am your King and you shall submit to me. Any and all primes who have earned my respect shall earn your respect as well.” Gilgamesh breathed deeply after this decree, the words were more than a mouthful, yet he had to make sure the people knew he would protect them. The street was now more than populated, gazing in awe as their King had returned to save them.
