There are two types of Outlawry -- lesser outlawry and outlawry. The details are in Thunder Rebels. In a lesser one, you are banished for a time. In the full version, you're kicked out of the community until they see fit to let you return - if ever.

This is the Heortlings we're talking about. Right and wrong don't enter into it that much. They left the clan as scapegoats so that the Lunar reprisals would not fall upon their friends and family.

I'm not sure if it it works that way. The Clan had to get rid of them magically as well as socially -- it was a rather -extreme- situation.

Its covered in Thunder Rebels. But the critical penalty in the write up was 'you cannot call upon Orlanth'
