That's not how _I_ interpreted them either.

To order someone to leave is _banish_ him (or them).

To _outlaw_ someone, I understand, means to declare them outside the
protection of the law; a punishment that's now called 'civil death'.

Since Atlantia is not nearly as much in the protection business as
were kingdoms of the Period, I'm not sure of the effectiveness of
this in an SCA context.

I _have_ read, in this forum, of the Crown banishing individuals
(although not for this particular offense) and I've never been clear
on the actual implementation.

Is it the offender's persona that's ordered to leave, allowing him to
return with an alternate persona?

Or is it his physical body that's banished, allowing some body else
to bring the persona?

(Or is persona-transferance forbidden altogether?)
