As my character Aerin Stormbringer was the one to administer the punishments i think i have a say in this :) Firstly Aerin did not want to punish them for not knowing who aznur thrul was as they were all new to the legion and most of them "foriegners" the legion sergeant master also does not tell you that you are serving Aznur Thrul just the Tharchion and all red wizards in general nor anywhere else that i have looked in game that tells you easily who the tharchion of the priador is without asking other players who may or may not know or looking at outside sources which of course is not a requirement. Second as they were all guilty of the same offense..couldnt very well run the guantlet as there werent enough non offending legionairs on to do so...and caning/birching/switching/..is a well established form of punishment and given that i rped hitting them hard enough to break skin it is up to those players to then rp having scars and difficulty laying on their backs or wearing their armor ect ect. and i would like to see any one of us think that is a "light" punishment if it were to ever happen in real life :P

now dont get me wrong i am all for enforcing the rather vague laws of thay :) if i ever catch a thief pc or murderer ect ect ...Aerin has Killed two PC's on the orders of higher ups for varying offenses however i dont personally like actually doing damage to another PC as punishment when it can be resolved with simple RP. but as this was a discipline matter and a minor one as it was also a first offense for all these "newbie" legionairs i think it was rather fitting..the punishment must fit the crime..ive wanted to put some one in the stocks aswell as Richal knows :) but of course theres no way to actually force them to sit there.
