It has been brought to the attention of The Chronicles, by several concerned Knights, that many of the laws governing our great city are going ignored. There are many newcomers that may not be familiar with the laws and penalties for breaking them, also there seem to be many long time citizens that ignore......errr.....forget, yeah forget, the laws. As a special favor to The Knights we have agreed to publish the Laws and Penalties for them again......

It's not so much that we don't know the rules as well that they are indeed conveniently forgotten. Nobody is going to enforce them anyway so why bother?
Paying fines? Well... you can make hundreds of times that amount by simply stealing daily. So what if you might accidentaly get caught one day? ((did not happen so far at all... at least not by knights)) So then you pay the fine and steal it back the couple of next days.
