Crimes and their Punishment by Category

Crimes and their punishments are decided directly by the Judge who oversees the trial. However, the following are general guidelines to crime and punishment:

Major Crimes (Usually carry sentences of death or imprisonment)
*Murder

Intermediate Crimes (Do not carry sentences of death but usually prolonged periods of imprisonment or hard labor)
*Counterfeiting
*Impersonation of a law enforcement official
*Rape
*Theft of valuable items (repeat offenses)
*Manslaughter
*Adultery

Minor Crimes (Will never carry death sentences and rarely long term prison sentences. More likely, community service or rehabilitation at correctional institutes, time in the stocks, fines, flogging, etc)
*Minor theft (first offense)
*Assault
*Resisting arrest
*Slander
*Worship of unrecognized deities determined to be evil or directly threatening to the continent.
*Harboring criminals

Straight from the Scrolls, nothing in here about creating undead being a crime. I do say it is frowned upon by most people to do such an act. Creating one in the city would definately bring consternation to the individual. It could be considered a practice of those who worship evil deities and thus punished as a minor crime. Just a reminder though, no one is allowed to kill another persons summons, even if they summon an undead you can not dispel or attack it to destroy it. You can RP your disdain for their action but to attack their summon is the same as attacking the person and we all know that pvp is outlawed by the Big L"awmaker"
