The Laws of Man

In Pathfinder, the militantly antitheist nation of “Godless Rahadoum” is governed by the Laws of Man. However, the only law stated in any published book is the First Law: Let no man be beholden to a god. Their chief executive is called the Keeper of the First Law, so it’s very emphatically not the only law. And yet, what are the others? Here’s my take:

1st: Let no man be beholden to a god.

2nd: No man shall place their pleasure above their city's health.

3rd: Let the city strive to mastery of the world and every man in it likewise.

4th: Let no word or thought, of men and for men, be silenced.

5th: Let every man improve themself in every way they can.

6th: No man shall, knowing their own will, be told otherwise by another

7th: Let no betrayer or thief of the commons go unscorned.

...

Xth: (Last) Let no man who refuses these laws remain among us.
