Mother Eve's Blessing

ha have to do better than that

The Commandments
Mother Eve issued two key commandmants, and punished any violators with the status of an Outlaw. While not outright defined as a rule, it is also implied that having sex with an Outlaw causes one to become an Outlaw, regardless of either party's sexual history. Those who do have sexual relationships within the bounds of the commandments are gifted with golden rings that manifest on their hands at some point after the act.
 * 1) Do not kill anyone from a species under the blessing of Eve.
 * 2) Do not have more than one sexual partner.

The Blessing of Eve applies to all humans, poppins, and dragons. It does not apply to kalars, who might have trouble reproducing without multiple sexual partners. Unfortunately, this leaves kalars exempt from the protection from the first commandment, an oversight that the Snake Crest administrator Rocinante exploited to nearly create a war between the kalars and the Kingdom of El Quixote.

While generally accepted by the populace, Mother Eve's commandments are actually quite faulty, punishing innocent victims of rape or accident. Some people, like Tio and Louin Eden, have tried to help these innocent Outlaws by giving them a safe place to live, food and water, and means of attaining a somewhat-regular life.

The second commandment is extremely limited in scope, and applies only to heterosexual, penetrative, genital sex. Any other combination of factors does not seem to violate the commandment. Aster and his family discovered even more bizarre loopholes than those during the course of their adventure. These exceptions also apply to the less frequently mentioned rule regarding sex with Outlaws.

Outlaws
Outlaws, or Ex-Humans (or hypothetically Ex-Poppins and Ex-Dragons, although none have been encountered), are those under the curse of Mother Eve. These individuals are marked by a black ring that appears on their fingers after they violate one of Mother Eve's commandments. As Outlaws, they are unable to produce sustenance from the earth, be it by farming, shepherding, or even mining. They are limited to hunting, stealing, or producing other goods and services, which are unlikely to succeed due to their poor reputation.

Outlaws are typically ostracized from society, even if they became Outlaws through no fault of their own. After having her powers forcibly enhanced by the Snake Crest, Croix Eden made it a personal mission to break the Outlaw curse on innocent individuals, and developed a technique to do so.

List of Notable Outlaws
During the Snake Crest's capture of Croix Eden, Mother Eve's commandments were recinded for several days. During this time, some individuals committed crimes that would have marked them as Outlaws if the commandments had been in place. Notable individuals who fall into this category include Natal March, Yarase, and even Aster (although QD said she would have exempted him if the situation had been different, and later did).
