Glorious ReAscent of Yelm shows a couple of Dara Happan scripts. (And
amazingly enough, Greg at one time even designed a cursive form of
one of the scripts, though I don't think it's ever seen print.)

Well, at least you weren't outlawed...

Ignoring the possibility that the judgement may be tribal (in which
case your clan may be ultimately liable), the answer would be your
bloodline, i.e. family.

In East Ralios this is defined essentially as a derbhfine; in
Heortling society I'm less clear (but I think that's partly because
it's less precise). Probably the head of your bloodline (presumably
the oldest surviving male) is ultimately responsible. He'd allocate
payment among the members of the bloodline (or pay out of bloodline
property).
