Excommunication

Implementation
An order of excommunication can only be issued by the chaplain of the faith, however a request for excommunication can be brought to the chaplain by any member of the 1stGBE. Should the chaplain consider the request sufficent in gravity he can implement it, however he/she also maintains the ability to lift any ecommunication at any time.

Procedures
In the event that an excommunication takes place the first order of business is for the High Inquisitor to commision an inqusistion in to the affairs of the excommunicated individual. This inqusistion also applies to any and all individuals who swear fealty to the ecommunicated individual. Should the inqusistion find any evidence of heretical activity they are to bring the information to the High inqusitor who will then pass judgment based on the evidence.

During the process of inqusistion the excommunicated individual is dissalowed from participating in 1stGBE affairs, be this voting in the Senate or participating in inter house wars. Should the individual break theese constraints they are considered a heretic and viable for any and all casus beli' leveled at the individual. Similarly should the individual be found guilty at the inqusistion and fail t accept their punishment theyre are also deemed a heretic and also liable to any and all casus beli leveled against them. Should any of the vassals of the individual be sspect to the same crimes as their liege the same constraints apply to them also.

Punishment
Should an individual be found guilty at the inqusistion any punishment issued by the High inquisitor is deemed acceptable. Beard rippings are included however crimes directly against the 10 commandments are imediatly given some form of death penalty.
