Sorry about the wait and thank you for the questions!
The City Guard is responsible for enforcing laws. Most of the laws themselves are common sense (no murder, no stealing, etc.) while some may seem a bit... odd (no theater). Mirrorbound found breaking the law will be sent to the Coven for their punishment, rather than to the ordinary courts of Aefenglom - characters came from The Looking-Glass House, after all! It's on the Coven's grounds, and so somewhat naturally, all newcomers are the Coven's problem. The head Witch of the Coven, Nerissa Bell, tends to be on the harsh side when it comes to punishment regardless of why the character committed the crime. In general, pettier crimes get pettier punishments ranging from volunteer work to solitary confinement for up to a week, while heavier crimes get heavier punishments. If a crime is severe enough to warrant a death sentence, it is taken out of the Coven's hands and taken by the Judicial Seats of Parliament.
