Steppe Laws

The code of the steppe is severe but just.

The most distinctive quality of tribal life in nomadic culture was the lack of land ownership. The possessions of each family amounted to their horses, possibly a herd of cattle, some yurts and whatever they carried on their persons, such as clothes and weapons. Laws in steppe tribes therefore did not deal with hereditary ownership of land - the greatest item that a descendant could inherit was their father's livestock. Marriage was considered sacred and based on religious beliefs, but nomad women were rather warlike, so any indiscretions by the husband were likely settled between the couple. The nomads most likely also inherited the political value of marriage, as nomadic kings of old were known to marry foreign princesses for diplomatic reasons.
