While there is no shortage of monster-hunting edicts issued by the ruling gods, outside of population centres there is not very much law in Terminus. Smuggling and piracy are more common than legitimate shipping, bands of rebels congregate in the wilds and plot attacks against anything from the nearest hamlet's ogre chief to the pantheon itself, and many a farmer with an infertile plot of land has turned to banditry as a way of making ends meet. Shadowvale is also a constant thorn in the side of Terminus, and many border rulers take every opportunity to push the extent of their holdings further east into elven lands. | While there is no shortage of monster-hunting edicts issued by the ruling gods, outside of population centres there is not very much law in Terminus.

| + | In the north, the island colonies of Terminus are constantly feuding with giants, and also experience the same sahuagin and sea monster problems that the orcs to the east face. With a much smaller navy and a plethora of problems at home, the rules of Terminus mostly leave it to the colonists to defend themselves, and experienced adventurers looking for some status could do worse than appointing themselves as sheriff after the current one bites it and then not dying for as long as possible. | ||
