Laws
THESE ARE THE LAWS THAT ARE FOLLOWED
Speak not before outsiders.
Obey the laws of the territory or be gone in three suns
Do not share without care.
Give what you get, leave softly, harm non without provocation
No one is to be changed against their will.
When you change one, he is your child, you are responsible for his actions for three years.
Honor the oath of blood.
Your houses may change, but your parent is forever.
If you must kill, be not caught by blood or killer.
In addition to these universal rules, each household has a set of laws and penalties for it’s time and place, each clan, and tribe also. Some range from the ridiculous to holdovers from the original age of the Holder.
I have these from D. J. Wheeler.
52a- The death of a negro slave of the house is to be regarded as theft. The housemaster to demand restitution. The death of a negro of personal property is to be repaid in full.
When a member of the clan is charged under the statue of witchcraft, all nearby individuals will clear said victims house of any form of seditious materials to secure for their return. Contact will be made to the local Housemaster to ascertain the complexity of the charges and arrange needed bail and possible deportment.
From Daniel Cohen
If a knight of the cloth be at your front door, have the sense to leave by the back.
Do not leave your chattel in the garderobe (medieval bathrooms)
From “Zodiac Jack”
Never stay more than two nights in one hundred miles.
Never leave off more than one toy in that radius.
Never move in a straight line
Don't waste the good stuff on your pets.
In more recent times, new sets of formal laws have been proposed and adopted by others. These include the laws known as “The Black Veil.”. While not identical to the laws which Midian follows, they are very similar.
