Others/Sanemantian Punishment Codex

The Sanemantian Punishment Codex is a particularly famous code of standardized punishments for various crimes, which differs from the law code in that it is specifically made to outline the punishments for breaking crimes. This punishment codex is particularly known for its brutality, though it also punishes nobles and commoners in a much more similar fashion than in other organized states. Hundreds of punishments are detailed, ranging from minor crimes to the most severe crimes of all types. Copies of this codex exist in each province, though the original is situated within the capital. Punishments are almost always torturous in nature, and many involve being fed to animals, burning, and the removal of limbs.

Contents
The Sanemantian Punishment Code contains approximately 200 sets of crimes and punishments, ranging from minor crimes to severe crimes. There are relatively few pictures in the codex, with 1 in the front part, 1 in the end part, and 3 throughout the entire rest of the codex. Each punishment is detailed in approximately a paragraph, in which the crime is mentioned, and then the punishment for a noble and a commoner. The original codex is written on stone in the "Lithic" Sanemantian Script; however, all copies in each province, as well as the copies in the capital, are written on paper in the newer Sanemantian Script. It is attested that Sanemantian lawmakers at the time intentionally made the codex somewhat redundant in order to let punishments proceed more quickly, though this has also been called into question. The following is a series of excerpts of the Sanemantian Punishment Codex.

"...Here lies a punishment for an Adult Murderer. Oh you, vermin in the eyes of all, who has killed another adult human intentionally. An accidental murder is nothing of one's fault, yet you have done it on purpose. For you, noble or commoner, both of your dirty hands shall be flayed, the skin forced into your mouth to gag you as you are sawed in half while hung upside down. You will thus die for your heinous crime. Your dead body will then be denied the afterlife by a feast of your flesh given to the audience. ..."

"...Here lies a punishment for a Rapist. Oh you, the shame of your family, who has violated a fellow human. Should you be a noble, your right hand shall be forced into hot oil until it is black, and you shall then be forced to eat your vermin hand. Should you be a commoner, both of your hands shall be flayed, and the skin shall be eaten by pigs in front of your very eyes. For both the noble and commoner, you shall be branded 20 times with the word "rapist" all over you. ..."

"...Here lies a punishment for a Pedophile. Oh you, abominable one, who has violated a child. Should you be a noble, you shall have the entirety of your genitals flayed and mutilated. Should you be a commoner, you shall have your genitals burned to annihilation with oil, and your genitals shall then be eaten by pigs. For both the noble and commoner, you disgusting filth of this world, you shall have the word "pedophile" branded 10 times all across your limbs and face. ..."

"...Here lies a punishment for a Traitor. Oh you, the shame of the entire kingdom, who has betrayed us. Should you be a noble, your hands shall be cut off and used to blind you, your eyes being turned into a paste that you will eat, and you shall be whipped to death. Your dead body will then be denied the afterlife by a feast of your flesh given to an audience. Should you be a commoner, it is understood that you likely were left with no choice; you shall be whipped 20 times. ..."

"...Here lies a punishment for a Child Murderer. Oh you, depraved and cursed soul, who has killed an innocent child by your own will. No matter you be a noble or commoner, you shall be flayed and then repeatedly hit with a cane until your death. Your dead body will then be denied the afterlife by a feast of your flesh given to the audience. ..."

"...Here lies a punishment for an Adulterer. Oh you, violator of marriage and the family, who has committed adultery. Should you be a nobleman, your right hand shall be eaten by pigs while it is still on your arm, and then your left hand shall be forced into your mouth. Should you be a noblewoman, your genitals are to be mutilated completely, and you shall be blinded. Should you be a commoner man, you shall be beaten with red hot iron dowels until your life ends. You will thus die for your heinous crime. Your dead body will then be denied the afterlife by a feast of your flesh given to the audience. Should you be a commoner woman, you shall be beaten with large wood dowels until your life ends. You will thus die for your heinous crime. Your dead body will then be denied the afterlife by a feast of your flesh given to the audience. ..."
