10. Marriage is legal between any and all races above 'None Civil Status,' however, marriage with a First Civil Status citizen does not bequeath Citizenship or First Civil Status.

Regalian Civil Status
The Regalian Civil Status Case is divided primarily into four main categories of individual: First Civil Status Races, Protected Civil Status Races, None Civil Status Races, and Outsider Civil Status Races.
Races that are First Civil Status enjoy equal protection by the State through its laws and law enforcement chapters and have full access to the Courts of Regalia where the laws permit such.
Races that are Protected Civil Status enjoy somewhat the same protection by the State, however, do not have access to the Courts of Regalia and must rely on First Civil Status Races to take their cases for them. In some cases, marriage may also be limited for these races where the laws state so.
Races that are None Civil Status enjoy no rights at all within the Regalian Empire, and thus are not protected by the Regalian law enforcement chapters for some crimes (Save brutalization in public) and have no access to the Regalian Judiciary whatsoever. Marriage may also be restricted for these individuals by law.
Races that are Outsider Civil Status are outcasts to the Regalian populous and can be actively beaten, robbed and treated like animals without impunity. They are not recognized as 'people' within the Regalian Caste System and thus can be enslaved by those that can overpower them (Doing so will then make that Outsider 'property', and subject to laws under the Regalian Property Law category.

1. Ailor, Sihai, Dwarves, Qadir, Url, Allar, Orcs, Songaskians, Altalar and Cielothar are First Civil Status Races.
2. Yanar, Varran, Avanthar, Sihndar, and Manathar, are considered Protected Civil Status.
3. Isldar are considered Protected Civil Status (Isldar retain First Civil Status if they are guards)
4. Slizzar and Maraya are None Civil Status, thus they are not permitted to defend themselves in Court or marry with First Civil Status individuals. They will however still be protected from physical harm or brutalizing in public.
5. Kathar are Outsider Civil Status. Outsider Status have no rights or protections in Regalia.
6. Most Half-Races are considered First Civil Status Races as long as both parents are First Civil Status. If they have only one First Civil Status parent, they shall become Protected Civil Status. If they have no First Civil Status parents, they shall be None Civil Status.
7. All Regalian Government secretaries and official ministers will enjoy the privileges associated with First Civil Status, regardless of their race, for as long as they hold a position in the Regalian Government. This is to ensure that these individuals can work productively and unimpeded by any restraints which would be otherwise placed upon them by the status of their birth.

Important Takeaways:
1. Regalian Common Law has been split into two branches with varying levels of severity.
2. Rose Court is now a neutral zone. Observe 'Section B: Law 13' for the details.
3. Bloodcasts and Darkwalds no longer enjoy the same privileges as Viridians.
4. Regalian Noble Law & Noble House Guard Law has been combined into one.
5. Regalian City Ordinances have been abolished.
The Matriarchs and/or Patriarchs of all noble and aristocratic families are expected to deliver a letter to the Lord Chancellor which details their stance on Regalian Marriage Law 1. Failure to produce said letter will result in the State Government presuming that there is indeed a bar in place.

Signed by,
His Eminence
Lord Chancellor of the Regalian Empire
Grand Duke of Basta-Irvelle
Louis Delmotte
