In the city of Santa Lucy

There is a strange custom in that small city state located on a small island near brazil. In Santa Lucy a man can be found guilty of his crimes and not serve one day in the Brother's House of Correction, the only prison run by an order of monks. Instead, the guilty party merely has to produce anyone who would be willing to take his place in the Brothers and he can go free.

The slums of Santa Lucy are dangerous places, and many an innocent would rather brave the dark halls of the Brothers ... for a price.

  1. That seems to be double-edged sword wielding at it's finest. If the guilty were made to serve time, then the slums might not be so dangerous. If the Brotherhood will take anyone in and in essence, keep them safe, who is left for the unlawful to prey upon?
