11 Rule of Law

A framework of strict laws governs critical aspects of life in Chira, particularly concerning the rigorous training pipelines for ninjas, which theoretically offer an equal opportunity for advancement. Crucially, laws also regulate the distribution, application, and potential misuse of Chi, forming the bedrock upon which social order is maintained. A structured legal system exists to enforce these regulations, complete with established punishments for infractions. However, the integrity of this system is compromised by the pervasive theme of corrupt leadership. This suggests that laws may be applied inconsistently, influenced by status or connections, allowing the elite to potentially operate with impunity. This atmosphere of corruption also allows clandestine groups like the Kaichis to function outside the bounds of established law, employing illegal methods such as targeted assassinations to further their destabilizing agendas against the ruling powers.
