Exile
Exile is a social practice used as a method of last resort in solving domestic disharmony in commonhouse living, where residents can be expelled by majority vote. If a unanimous agreement is reached among those of the affected party, the offending party is expected to pack their things and leave immediately.
Failure to comply is a serious social transgression that publicly marks the offending party as an antisocial troublemaker, and they will find their life considerably harder afterwards. For this reason, it is not unknown for citizens to maintain at least two circles of friends such that they will not be left without a place to stay if they find themselves on the losing end of an exile vote.
Those with no other place to go can stay for a short time at the Assembly of Veil and Sky, but are expected to either join, or move on to another arrangement within a few days.
