 ==== Laws & Governance ====
-The government of Raikougan is a shogunate, led by Shogun Arashi Hachiman (as of 10081). The official name of this shogunate is the Arashi Federation. While they have been allowed to function more or less independently for the past 750 years, Raikougan has technically been a special administrative region of Ruefang, and has followed Ruefang's laws. They put less emphasis on dueling in the Archipelago, although dueling laws are still in effect.
+The government of Raikougan is a shogunate, led by Shogun Arashi Hachiman (as of 2557). The official name of this shogunate is the Arashi Federation. Their laws are very similar to Ruefang's: a holdover of their days as part of the country. In addition, there is a complex web of social rules and politeness guidelines that, while not exactly codified in the books, is still crucial in day-to-day Raikoujin life.
+  * Assault and battery: Incarceration from 1-5 years.
+  * Theft: Corporal Punishment of 10-20 lashes depending on what was stolen.
+  * Disparaging Remarks against Leadership: Fine of 500 gp.
+  * Worship of Demons & Fey: Fine of up to 5,000 gc and possible incarceration for up to 15 years.
+  * Ownership of another intelligent humanoid creature: 20 years Incarceration or Exile
+  * Political Corruption and Bribery: Incarceration of up to 10 years
+  * Hunting Sacred Animals: Incarceration of up to 20 years
+  * Defying Orders of a Superior: Corporal Punishment, Incarceration, or Execution depending on degree
+  * Polluting the Natural Environment: Execution
+  * Murder and rape: Execution
+  * Treason: Kaze-no-shi
 **Kaze-no-Shi:**
-The Raikougan abides by most of the rules of the mainland, however some differences exist. The practice of kaze-no-shi, "wind death," is a punishment reserved for the highest of crimes, and to the Raikoujin, that’s treason. When an individual betrays their lord or warlord it is considered to be betraying Raikougan herself. Warlords are held to a similar standard as by the Storm’s Oath, they must obey the commands of the shogun.

 The practice involves going before a Warlord or the Shogun during an Autumn Hurricane, where they recite a poem to convey their shame and regret for their crime. They then must wound themselves on their left leg and right arm, then walk out in the wilderness while the storm rages. There has yet to be a documented case of someone surviving this.

 There is only one leader, known as the //**Kasha**//, who is always rumored to be the worst of the lot: the most sadistic, the most cruel, and the most bloodthirsty. If there are ever two individuals with a claim to the title of Kasha, they fight to the death and the victor claims dominion over the Blood Hawks. Many Kashas are denoted with a number - first, second, third, etc.
-However, the most recent Kasha (as of 10081), a Giantkin, was so emblematic of these "virtues" that he was simply titled //the// Kasha. This man disappeared without a trace in 10040, leaving the Blood Hawks scattered, weakened, and leaderless ever since. He was rumored to have reappeared in Ruefang in 10081 during the [[history:cahyali:modernage#the_ars_machina_incident|Ars Machina Incident]], but was then killed by Kentarō Ryou.

 The symbol of the Blood Hawks is a red bird with its wings outstretched on a black or gray background. Many of its members will display this symbol with a pin or patch somewhere on their armor or weaponry. Specific sects of the Hawks may adjust this symbol in different ways to signify their more specific allegiances.
