Exile

Exile is an official title bestowed upon an individual cast out from kaldorei society.

A punishment that has existed in kaldorei society since the very first night elves evolved from dark trolls many thousands of years ago, it is one of the highest dishonors one can face. Exile is a very rare punishment to be administered, with the last known records of official exile dating back to the War of the Ancients. However, those that are exiled are seen as great offenders of night elf society, whose crimes are either egregiously heinous or downright unforgivable.

"Exile" is a title in the same way "Betrayer" is, but the difference between the two is that "Exile" is an official government sanction while "Betrayer" is a colloquial title and therefore unofficial.

Legal status of Exiles
An Exile has no rights under kaldorei rule and are, thus, not subject to protection under official law. Exiles are also forbidden from many privileges. However, Exiles can be protected under the laws and rules of other races while within their territory. Exile status is one given only to kaldorei. While individuals of other races can be exiled or barred entry from kaldorei lands, they are not officially designated as "Exile."
 * Exiles are not legally able or welcome to be in kaldorei land. If found in kaldorei land without any sort of legal authorization, an Exile can be killed, either by lynching or official government execution.
 * Any property an Exile owned prior to their punishment is forfeit to the government. This includes land, money, guilds, buildings, weapons, armor, etc.
 * Exiles cannot be legally part of government factions where kaldorei are either leaders or hold great stakes in, such as the Cenarion Circle, Wardens, or Sentinels.
 * While they may collaborate with them if they are Alliance government officials, they are barred from membership.
 * Those related to or married to an exile can be barred or ejected from such government factions.
 * Taverns, stores, or smiths can legally refuse to serve Exiles if owned by kaldorei.
 * Exiles cannot legally marry other kaldorei but can marry outside their race.
 * If a marriage between an Exile and a kaldorei is consummated, it can legally be annulled.
 * Since Exiles are not protected under basic kaldorei rights clauses, they can be raped and/or murdered with no legal repercussions to the offender.
 * Exiles cannot adopt kaldorei children, even if the child resides in non-kaldorei owned territory.
 * Any child born from an Exile, whether they be their biological father or mother, is legally required to be taken away from them by social workers.
 * Exiles are erased from the record books, their history and any books they wrote are burned and locked away.
 * Schools are legally required to label Exiles as war criminals in their history books.
 * Doctors can legally refuse to treat injured Exiles.
 * Exiles can legally be imprisoned and tortured against their will, with no right to due process or a lawyer and can be detained indefinitely.

Social status of Exiles
With the designation of "Exile" comes many social consequences, with Exiles seen as social pariahs from the kaldorei. While the title means nothing to other races, everything that comes with it is great shame and dishonor.
 * Families of Exiles disown them in order to preserve their family name and legacy. Families may even disown those that romantically involve themselves with Exiles. Because of this, Exiles predominantly choose to live in isolation.
 * An Exile is not referred to by name or is even seen as a kaldorei or a person. They are just "Exile".

Exiles working for the Alliance government
It is possible for Exiles to obtain jobs working for the Alliance government. Given the rarity of Exiles and the controversies surrounding their civil status, it is rare to see Exiles take a government position. However, it has happened.

Exiles working for the Alliance in some government capacity, such as 7, tradesmen, or as ambassadors, are extended legal protection. If they are required to operate within kaldorei land, Exiles are to fill out official paperwork, authorizing their presence there. As such, they are given civil rights protection. However, the validity of the paperwork is only temporary, and the deadline to operate must be either extended or renewed. Otherwise, the protection they are given is rendered null and void.

Businesses and government officials are forced to cooperate with Exiles under the law but can still legally refuse to serve or house them.
