  • The Law of the Ancients are a series of papyrus scrolls that contain the fundamental laws of the Kingdom of Abun. According to the historians, the scrolls were written in year 213, when king Lakala II Mutan of the Rakum clan ordered the Royal Scribes to transpose the Abunese laws into written form. Currently, the original scrolls of the Law of the Ancients are stored in a secret room of the Royal Palace in Enit. Before the unification of the Kingdoms of the South, each state had its own laws. Due to the limited diffusion of writing, the laws of each state were transmitted orally to the kings by their trusted counselors. This tradition persisted even after Yaz "Buraldkin" united the kingdoms into a single state, as a way to preserve the identity of the people who made Abun. In order to show respect to the previous kingdoms of the South, King Yaz called them the "Law of the Ancients" because the laws adopted by the ancestors would've regulated the life of the new Abunese nation and its citizens. However, the more the time passed, and kings succeded one by one, a problem begun to arise. Since the laws weren't written but were transmitted orally by the previous king's counselor, this would've led to a personal interpretation of the law, rendering them weak and easily changeable according to the projects and mood of the ruler. Many kings, especially during the first century after the unification tried to transpose the laws in a written form, but they were always pushed back because the laws were too much to be written and Some of these laws were completely forgotten.
