Legal Questions

Who does a guy have to talk to about formally incorporating a Mercenary Company?

If I get it incorporated, what do I need to do to get permission to police and punish my own?

Finally, what are the rules for formally protesting the actions of governing officials?

According to the laws of Kormyre, the ranking noble of an area (in this instance, His Excellency Baron Montgomery), may charter a military organization able to operate in his lands.  Said organization would be able to operate under the terms of its charter and any punishments beyond fines and dismissal from the service of the group would have to be specifically mentioned in the charter.  As Travance is operating under marshal law, any organization (indeed, any resident) is subject to be called to the colors by His Grace, Count Winterdark.

Any citizen may bring a matter concerning infractions of Baronial Law to the attention of Travance's High Magistrate, The Honorable Wou Tou Shen.  

As for Shen, thanks for the info, Alderman.

As for the Company, I write the charter, get it approved by the Baron, and make sure I put in provisions for how we punish infractions, along with any extra rules I want my guys to follow, and then we're good to go?

Am I on track here?

this would be correct

Mr. Rannick,

If it is required, I would happily assist you in penning this charter for yours for an independent militant group to ensure a smooth transition in getting you and your men incorporated into the barony as soon as possible.

"provisions for how we punish infractions"

Mr. Rannick,

As a rank member of the guard and long standing citizen I respectfully ask for clarification as to what you mean because while both the Barony as well as some private citizens welcome an extra organized military group, the Barony can do with out vigilante's; making upholding the laws and protecting our nobility that much more difficult...

Make no mistake I speak only for my self and in the interest of the position I hold and the people I'm sworn to protect...

with honor,
