National Laws

The North American Council are strong advocates for the Concords of old,and protect and enforce them vehemently. Though like any magical nation they have a fair amount of National laws, mostly the national laws guard against violence against Adepts and Sensitives, prohibiting the sale of national magical creatures and the like. Below are a few of the more important laws, which are specifically revered in Magical America.

Law against Slavery - Like most nations the North American nation has forbidden the slavery of normals, sensitives and adepts. Unlike most other nations, they actually enforce it. A special task force formed by the council, works tirelessly to free slaves nationwide. As the Concord prohibits the Light Council from outright violence, the task force is formed primarily of diplomats, negotiators and infiltrators who's job it is to secure the release of slaves whenever possible. This doesn't mean it doesn't occasionally happen, the slavery that is, it simply means that the slave traders of North America have to work a little harder.

The Act of Control and Conservation - Everywhere in the world, magical creatures are disappearing. Not in North America, here the ACC has helped protect and regulate the population of magical creatures. The ACC forces the council to relocate magical creatures whenever their territory is destroyed, help stop humans encroaching upon their land if possible and eventually regulate and protect against these creatures. This act also prohibits mages from keeping near-extinct species as pets or slaves.

The Right of Defense - America is known as the land of vigilantism among mages of other countries, the RD resolution is partially to blame. This act clearly states that the Concords rules against violence can be wavered, if such violence is enacted purely in the interest of self-defense. Of course the wording of this Resolution is worded so, that in the end it's up to the Conclave to decide what is considered right and wrong, but many a Master mage has had murder charges dropped thanks to the RD.
