The Old and True Way of Declaring War:

As Recorded by the Hebithdräkhskapiz af Lisnojaning

Put on the woollen headband, go to the frontier of the foe, shout out your demands and invoke a chief god's name, proceed over the frontier, shout out the demands again and invoke an unknown god, meet the first man across the frontier, shout out your demands and invoke the name of a love god, go to their gate, shout out your demands and invoke a god of builders, go to their court and before their great men, shout out your demands and invoke a god of war.

If they do not meet your demands, declare war in thirty-three days, then go home, ask for confirmation of the war, and then return once more to the frontier and throw a blood soaked spear over it to confirm your war. Through these steps, through these airing of grievences, may one ensure that the will of the gods is followed and that one's war is just, for all reasonable measures have been taken and the gods made aware of your demands and grievances.

When he came to the frontier, he named his price and called upon the many named one
When he came across, he named his price and called upon all the foreign gods of this land
When he came to the first man, he named his price and called upon the god of love
When he came to the gate, he named his price and called upon the god of builders
When he came to the council of wisemen, he named his price and calld upon the god of war
For all his troubles, he was made to wait for thirty-three days
They turned him out, beat him with their sticks
There before them, he declared his intention to war
He returned to his hall, he breathed the vapours there
Before him appeared a council, all gave their assent
He bled into a bowl, he soaked a spear in its contents
When he came once more to the frontier, his spear landed over it
When he came once more to the first man, he cut him down
When he came once more to the gate, he broke it down
When he came once more to the council of wisemen, he struck them down
For all his troubles, he was made victorious and the gods smiled

The First King

Way back in the old days, before we had kings or even knew much about sculpting, there was a village. The villagers would have problems and due to not being able to cooperate very well, would often suffer and be unable to solve them. Eventually, they came to have a corn shortage, for while a few of them had seen to their own gardens and plots, most had taken to relaxing during the hot months and did not move to do their work. Now, those without corn had begun accusing those with corn of having stolen it all and had chosen to fashion weapons with which to chase those with corn out of their homes and village so that they could steal the corn for themselves.

A man by the name of Hriudwunsk, for he had been left in the reeds for his parents by some passing elves, sat by an old ash tree on a river bank and lamented his sorrows to the world. He cried how his people now had nothing to eat and how they had no way to keep warm without their huts of dirt and many layered blankets. Well, as he lamented these misfortunes, some of the clay from the riverbank began to murmur and then finally, having had enough, shouted at him 'Know you no peace!?' Having stunned the man into silence, the clay calmed itself and began telling him what to do. First, they went where they saw squirrels on the ground go alone and then dug up the hordes of nuts. Then, once they had those, they took them and ground them with stones so as to make the first flour. Then, once the flour had been wetted and kneaded into dough, they took a bow, a stick, and some old husks and used that to make the first fire not created by Thor earth-shaker.

Having now made the first bread and the first fire, the exiles were content for a moment and so set about building a new village for themselves near the clay so they might ask it for its wisdom in future. As time went on, the villagers came to disagree on what animals they should keep and whether they should eat them. Again, they came to the clay and they listed off their many worries and again the clay began to murmur and then finally shout at them to quiet. Irritated by how they had not left it in peace, the clay once more began to answer them, telling them that should they wish to make clothes and feed their children, they should keep goats and should they wish only for short pleasures and eggs, they should keep geese. The clay further went on to explain that all things have their times and their seasons, and that one should not kill an animal unless it has grown fat and the goods which it gives to you no longer please you.

Taking the clay's advice, the people did as they were told and they grew rich from their abundance and began to trade with other villages. Now, as it so happened, this wealth made them greedy and covetous of others, so they began to squabble on whether they really ought to share and over bride-prices and the boundaries of land. Once more they went to the clay and once more they complained to it. This time though, it did not murmur. They went on and on arguing and complaining to it until several hours had passed and then they fell silent. When they had done so, the clay finally decided that it had suffered enough. The clay rose from its place on the river bank and formed itself into a mighty man, before then taking a sharp stone from the river bank and a branch from the ash and fashioning himself a mighty axe.

Now the people were awed and silent as he then approached them, but one of them chose to air a complaint once more. The clay-born man let out a mighty bellow and charged to cleave the complainer in twain, striking him dead and scaring off all of the villagers. Now, once more, they were driven from their homes and the clay-born was left in peace. There he tasted bread, drank ale, roasted a goose, and warmed by a fire. As for him, it was only fair after having been responsible for such great things.

The once more exiles hid in the woods now, but did not leave, for they felt shame and realised their lack of thanks to the clay. As they sat there in sorrow, Hriudwunsk struck upon an idea. 'We must wed the clay to our daughters and sisters, so that we might call upon him as brother and son, as well as give thanks to him for his good services to us.' So, the most beautiful of the village were sorted out and the most beautiful of the beautiful was sent back to seduce the clay-born. As it so happened, the man had drunk so gladly from the jugs and eaten so well, that he had fallen fast asleep by the fire and so when the beautiful girl arrived, she had no issue at all laying with him and claiming him as husband.

When the clay awoke, he was furious at such trickery, but impotent to act. He knew that if he struck down the girl now, he would anger the gods and bring divine retribution upon himself, so he went forth and called the villagers to make a compact. 'I will serve you as you will serve me! If you challenge me not, give tribute unto me, and gives me wives, I will see that you are led well and ordered well. I swear this upon the earth from which I formed!' Hearing this, the villagers were overjoyed and quickly set about preparing a great wedding feast and the clay-man was made the first king, from which many great kings descended. Fanigabauran.

The World Explained

Where did the world come from and why does it shake?

After Wotan and his brothers killed Ymir, they set the corpse and body on the shoulders of the cow Auðumbla, and so the world is wandering around Ginnungagap and is not physically connected to the world tree. Anyway, earthquakes happen whenever the cow goes to a salt lick and stumble on some rocks, which sometimes results in more land being added or mountains rising.

What is the sun and the moon and why does the sun sometimes leave us?

The sun is a dazzlingly beautiful girl named Sunno who goes about her day and is daughter of Mundilfarn. Her brother and husband is the moon, Mena, and the two of them tend to wander around a bit, resulting in the day and night. We get solar eclipses because every now and then the world snake, Jörmundgandr, fetches her down so she can visit with her other husband, Glen. During this time, the world serpent and moon use some of her hairs to pretend to be her but do not do it well, so she always runs back quickly. She will die when Fenrir breaks loose and chases her so he can eat her, but she will be replaced by her daughter, so we are fine. Mena is destined to die protecting her.

What are eels?

Eels are just plants. Njördr was one day approached by Rán and Ægir for help because someone kept eating all the seaweed they farmed for fun and their seed stocks were running low, because someone had started breaking in and eating those too now. After trying and failing to help them with the issue, he took up some of the seeds and decided that it would be safer to turn them into fish like creatures so that they can avoid being eaten and set them loose. This worked for a few days, but then humans started catching them all and other beasts took a liking to these new fish, so he was called back and asked to do something else to protect them. Rather than backdown from his admittedly awesome idea, he instead took the remaining ones in hand and drew them into the shape of a wyrm, but smaller, so as to put off would be hunters and fishermen. He also gave them a taste for meat. This created modern eels and is why all eels come from seaweed, as they are just seeds, and why they have no genitals.

Where did kings come from?

Some villagers complained to clay enough that it got angry and tried to chase them away. Because they clay had been good for advice, the villagers decided to trick him into binding himself to them through marriages, but as it turned out, no trickery was truly needed as the first woman they sent to sleep with him found him fast asleep by a fire and as such had no issues at all. After that, the clay-man formed a compact with the villagers as he could not escape his wife without angering the gods, thus giving the world its first king.

Who are the most important gods?

Sunno (Sol), Mena (Mani), Tiw (Tyr), Wotan (Odin), Þunr (Thor), Friga (Frigg), Iðun (Iðunn), Log (Loki), Bacchus, Freja (Frejya), Frej (Freyr), Skaði, Wull (Ullr), Weor (Vör), Ing (Yngvi), Tuist (Tuisto), Priapos.

Why do ship's have penises?

The god Priapos has been known to protect those that honour him and his image, so it is customary to carve it or carry an effigy of it with you when at sea. It was once common for sailor's to wear such images made of gold and silver so they could offer it to Rán and Ægir as payment and because they wished to court Priapos' blessings when in bed with their lovers. When the Priapos heard that the other gods had taken to collecting his tokens and keeping the souls of his sailors, he flew down into their watery hall in a rage and led a revolt there until they agreed to release his men to him and to never more take his tokens as payment. Since then, he has feuded with the gods of the sea and has offered luck and protection to those who seek it, both in bed and at sea.

Why do Sunnosdag and Menasdag come first?

Sunno & Mena are twin-gods of the Wanisin, who embody the sun and moon. The moon guards the sun from a giant wolf god that is destined to eat it and has power over dreams and the power of prophecy, helping to manipulate and guide men for his own purposes. The sun provides life and light to the world, helping to bring about the days and watches the fates of men and helps the Wurdin to enforce destinies and fates upon those so tied. She is the queen of the Wanisin and rules with her twin as her king, though she also has a mortal husband too.

Why do the Hauhkunos claim descent from Tiw and why did the clay know so much?

Tiw is the god of justice, the one whose spit and blood helped imbue the clay with a sense of good judgement and wisdom that led to it becoming the first king. He is also a god of war, specifically those regarding revenge and blood feuds. It is through his contributions to the clay that it became such a wise king and as the Hauhkunos descend from the clay and the clay from Tiw, they are all his children too. It is through their divine blood and relation to the god of justice that they are so uniquely qualified to lead the Cult of Tiw and are themselves destined to be gods of justice in turn.

Why do we honour Wotan and also pay him to stay away?

Wotan is a god of magic, trickery, and knowledge. He beguiles minds and causes men to lose their memories, but is also the one who helps spark inspiration in the arts and science. He is said to have taught man poetry and is responsible for ill-fated coincidences and trips. It is during one of his own journeys that he chose to play a trick on his son, Þunr, as he sought to cross an inlet. Wotan made himself into the shape of an old man and pretended to be a ferryman, using his magics to dampen Þunr's senses so he did not notice he could simply walk around the inlet. He refused Þunr passage and insulted him gravely, finding new provocations and taunts and he watched as Þunr continuously rose to the bait and tried to defend himself against the slings. It was only when Wotan grew tired of his game that he broke the spell and shouted over to his son that he could walk around. It is to avoid such situations that we honour him, but also because he is the king of the Ansin.

Why do we celebrate Bacchanalia?

Because Bacchus is the god of good wine, liberty, and freedmen. He has often sought to loosen the bonds of servitude and through his wine fosters equality between those high and low. It is said that those that displease him often suffer from insanity when they taste his wine, as he seeks to deny it to tyrants and those without care. He is also known for avenging the deaths of freedmen, as he views them as his wards.

Why do most labour disputes start with an appeal to Log?

Log is famed for his quick tongue, sharp wit, and ability to drive a bargain. Besides inventing the fishing net and siring many of the more monstrous gods and creatures, he has taken it upon himself as Wotan's blood-brother to negotiate on behalf of the Ansin on quite a few occasions. In one such case, he helped strike the deal which secured an Eot's service to build the great defences of Ansgarda, as he managed to trick and goad the Eot into betting that he could finish the defences in a fortnight. To do this though, he needed something of value which the Eot would wish to win, so he told great stories of the beauty of the goddess Freja. When the Eot's horse allowed him to nearly do such a thing, Log undertook the task of transforming into a fiery-mare and luring the horse away and thus stopped the construction efforts through an indirect effort, winning the bet, saving lady Freja from a marriage, and leading to him birthing the six-legged horse-god Slaipur who he gave to Wotan as a mount.

Why does Log show up in the home?

Amongst his many traits, he is the god of the hearth. He watches over the fires and holds dominion over the brownies and soot-sprites, who seek his favour so they might find good homes themselves to watchover. He is known far and wide for his efforts to protect and aggrandise his own home of Ansgarda, though he himself is an Eot by birth.

Why do we hold festivals to Iðun in the fields?

She tends to the golden apples which grant immortality to those who eat them, she is the goddess of youth and tended lands, the one who protects against pests and rots. Her's is the domain of the home's land, she guards it and tends to it. In order to get her blessing, we make offerings to her as she is given to blessing those who are good with her wary eye and good fortune. An orchard under her care is as safe as can be, though it must be tended by mortal hands too.

Why do we wear amulets dedicated to Weor and what do they have to do with flour?

Young children wear these as they are meant to protect them from harm. She is the goddess of foresight and winter stores, protecting the grain we harvest from pests and giving children understanding of the future in the hopes that they might live. Despite this, she is also the goddess of child-deaths, taking taking care of those who die too young and helping to shepherd them to better places or else taking them into her own care.

Why do we mark the boundaries of lowlands with Friga's image or name?

She is the goddess of wetlands and it is often to ask her to spare that land from floods. Other times, it is because those lands are good for fowling and it is to ask for her blessing in the hunt, as she is the goddess of water-fowl and the hunting of them. You might also see images of her at home too, as she is the goddess of arranged matches, families, and familial piety. She has been known to strike those down who act in an impious way to their families and to reward those of a good nature and dutiful mindset with happy home lives and good spouses. It is for this reason, she is likely one of the most popular gods around.

Why do we use shackles and a spear to represent love and why do we stamp them on wheat cakes?

Freja, goddess of captivity, female beauty, sex, fertility, war, love, and wheat as well. She was given to the Ansin with her brother as hostages in order to end the great war between those tribes of gods, so she has often times concerned herself with those kept in captivity and their treatment. Her war-like nature is also very well known, as she once did make a contest of arms against the great god Þunr and won, as her spear and chariot allowed her much greater speed and reach and she would have speared him through if it were not for his booming shout scaring the Julkat who drew her chariot. These things and her great beauty and care for those in love and in helping spread love have made her symbols the symbols we associate with love. Wheat cakes are made in her honour, as it is said that she spread fields of wheat across the lands as she travelled to her new home amongst the Ansin. It should also be noted, that besides her lightning attacks which won her the field over many a stronger foe, she is also known for her ability to find food in the harshest of places and feed armies through the bounties she forages.

Why do we bless foreign king's in the name of Frej rather than Tiw?

Tiw is the fore-father of our kings, but not of the foreigners. Frej has long held the position of a god of rulers, helping to guide them in times of trouble and to promote stability in their lands. He, like his sister, is also a god of fertility, so it can also help to promote many children for rulers, which in turn secure the succession. Finally, his command of weather is useful too, as it can help protect travelling rulers and dignitaries from storms and from being becalmed at sea.

Why do we pray to Skaði in the winter and why do we use her image to mountain trails?

She is an Eot and the goddess of mountains and winter. We ask her for kindness in the coldest months, as her frosts can kill livestock, trap people in their homes, and take people in their sleep. We use her image to mark mountain trails, as the mountains are her home. She skis the snowy peaks, waging wars and the wolves are her scouts. She hunts deer, men, and other creatures as she pleases and it does us well to keep her appeased, as she and her bow can easily turn against those who slight her. Her skill with the snows and bow are so great, that when her father was killed by Þunr, she was able to threaten the Ansin within their own home and they feared her ability to make war upon them. It is through this, that she demanded a husband.

What does Wull have to do with shots?

While not as famous as Skaði, Wull is the god of marksmanship and gunnery. He is often said to be more skilled than her with the bow, with the two often competing in hunts against each other and in competitions.

Are Ing and Tuist the same god?

No. Ing is the god of industry, rather than craft. He is the god associated with the effort itself, responsible for morale, determination, and fortitude against drudgery. Tuist is the god of craft itself, responsible for the forge and workbench, creating things and also being another god of wisdom. He is the one who helps give craftsmen skill and inspiration, while Ing gives them the drive they need to see through their work. It should be noted, that Tuist is said to be the father of all Germans, while Ing is the father of a specific tribe. While their domains are related and they do often work together, they should not be seen as the same.

Are towns and villages named for their local gods?

As a general rule, no. What tends to happen is an Eot wanders around and takes a liking to a place, choosing to become the local god if there is none and thus taking on the name of the place. Utgarda-Log is a good example, as the first part of his name is a reference to the place he was a god of, while the second part was his personal name. Often times, we simply do not know the personal name and just use the place name.

Hauhkunoleiks Amendment to the Act Recognising Tribal Obligations and Rights of the Year 7618 during the First Year of Haimfaths

By our authority and the authority of Hauhkunoleiks Swersgesat:
We seek now to make known and manifest our will.
We hereby sign the instrument of this new amendment to the law, and with it compel millions to conformity.

Statement:

On advisement from the Raikhsgamotjing and the Dragðjags Vaden, we now seek to make manifest our will and alter the conditions under which the lower lesser races and tribes are cared for by the Raikh.

With this reality, we must now bring about this Act's amendment to set it properly within the legal canon of þis Raikh.

Content of Amendment:

The Act Requiring the Translation, Categorisation, and Storage of Contents on Permanent and Impermanent Media and Establishing the Hauhkunoleiksteihaningsatjing of the Year 7619 during the Second Year of Haimfaðs

In fealty to the Hauhkuno (our undying lord) and by the grace of the Hauhkunoleiks Swersgesat:
I record all that which has been passed as true by the Raikhsgamotjing.

I hereby sign the instrument of this new act of law, and with it compel millions to conformity.

May Hauhkunoleiks Garaihtsinassus account in all balance. Sa Hauhkuno wardjan.

Statement:

The Raikh has for a long time been a centre of culture and scientific thought, but has been shackled by its relative isolation from the rest of the world. brought about by times of extreme stress and inward contemplation.

It is due to these periods of isolation, that we must now attempt to address the issue which has plagued us for many years now. That is of course, the issue of our decline in philosophical prestige.

It is necessary to the Raikh's well-being that all thoughts be translated by scribes so as to ensure their knowledge is accessible.

It is necessary that institutes be founded to expand the minds of our best and brightest and bring them to the foremost levels of expertise and wisdom that can be achieved.

It is necessary that great repositories of forbidden and exalted knowledge be made ready, so as to provide us with redoubts from which we might always sally forth and ensure our supremacy in all fields.

In order that all of these parallel and requisite undertakings may be coordinated and carried forward in accordance with a single uniform policy, we have called for the establishment of a new instrument of government to undertake the collection and administration of the various works that might exist, as well as the formation of new Satjingskül across the Raikh.

The Act Mandating the Labelling of Ingredients and Application of Health Advisories of the Year 7619 during the Second Year of Haimfaðs

In fealty to the Hauhkuno (our undying lord) and by the grace of the Hauhkunoleiks Swersgesat:

I hereby sign the instrument of this new act of law, and with it compel millions to conformity.

May Hauhkunoleiks Garaihtsinassus account in all balance. Sa Hauhkuno wardjan.

Statement:

For centuries, morally degenerate merchants and individuals have taken advantage of unwary travellers and trusting neighbours to substitute ingredients in such things as breads, cakes, and prepared drinks in order to increase the profits which they reap.

In recent years, this problem has been made worse by the advent of such scientific miracles as cocaine and nicotine extract, which while useful for their medicinal purposes, have been found to be highly addictive and are now being used as an additive by those wishing to influence the public purchase their sub-standard products.

It is against such things that we now must act and do so with great conviction of purpose, for the purity of our essential waters and foods.

The establishment of rules and regulations in addition to the provisions of this Act shall not be a condition to the exercise of the powers herein granted or the procedures by this Act directed. The scope of this Act shall include all foreign lands except such as may hereafter be expressly excluded by regulation.

2. The Blotmizfrauja shall have the power to form three regulatory boards at his discretion, to whom the matters of food, drink, and medicine are to delegated as seen fit. He is to retain supremacy over these boards in all matters and they structuring is to be carried out according to his designs.

3. The Blotmizfrauja is authorised to take all such measures as may be necessary or expedient to administer the powers hereby conferred, and, in addition to the utilisation of existing personnel of any department or agency available therefor, to employ, or authorise the employment of, such additional personnel as he may deem requisite.

4. The Blotmizfrauja is to cause to be banned in totality the addition of nicotine, cocaine, bromine, lead, methamphetamine and other amphetamine related substances, and opiates to food and drink items not clearly labelled as for medical or military purposes.

An Overview of Extant Sanctioned Privileges

Right to Collect Taxes - This is possibly one of the most commonly sought after privileges. It allows persons to collect taxes owed by individuals or groups on behalf of the Landsleidandskapiz, Raikhsleidandskapiz, or even the Swersgesatt in exchange for either a percentage of the tax revenue or a fixed salary. Holding this privilege allows one to employ agents on their own authority to collect the taxes for them, though they are entirely responsible for the actions and behaviours of their agents. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked.

Right to Levy Taxes - This privilege is automatically extended to all landowners with allodial title and grants them the right to levy taxes upon those that reside within their lands, so long as these taxes do not conflict with more senior laws or privileges. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked.

Right to Collect Tariffs - This is a privilege that is commonly held by large merchant guilds, cities, and powerful lords. It allows persons to collect tariffs owed by individuals or groups on behalf of the Landsleidandskapiz, Raikhsleidandskapiz, or even the Swersgesatt in exchange for either a percentage of the tariff revenue or a fixed salary. Holding this privilege allows one to employ agents on their own authority to collect the tariffs for them, though they are entirely responsible for the actions and behaviours of their agents. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked.

Right to Levy Tariffs - This privilege is automatically extended to all landowners with allodial title and grants them the right to levy tariffs upon those that cross their lands, so long as these tariffs do not conflict with more senior laws or privileges. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked.

Right to Moderate Prices - This privilege allows persons to moderate the price at which goods can be sold through the setting of maximum and minimum prices. Unless more senior laws or authorities interfere, these prices are considered absolute. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked

Monopoly - A monopoly grants persons the right to exclusively produce a good or provide a service in an area according to the terms of their monopoly.

Tax Exemption - This privilege is most commonly held by families who provide men to the Raikhsharjis or Hauhkunoleiksflutt. It exempts persons from certain taxes that may otherwise be levied against them, though the specifics of which ones they are exempt from may vary depending on jurisdiction, status, law, and terms.

Right to Raise Levies (Lieutenancy) - This privilege is automatically extended to all landowners with allodial title and grants them the right to levy military duties upon those that reside within their lands, so long as these levies do not conflict with more senior laws or privileges. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked. Those holding special titles (such as Lord-Lieutenant) may also be granted this privilege.

Right to Hear Cases - This privilege allows persons to hear legal cases and disputes and pass judgement on them. It is automatically extended to those holding allodial title and applies within their lands for disputes considered to fall within their legal jurisdiction, but it is also given to any Lahgarda that has been recognised by the Hauhkuno or the majority of his other Lahgarden. Holding this privilege allows one to employ agents on their own authority to hear cases, though they are entirely responsible for the actions and behaviours of their agents. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked.

Right to Reside - This privilege allows persons to reside within a locality. It is generally extended automatically to all those that are born within said locality, though this may vary and be tied to one's status, parentage, or simply a fee. It can be revoked.

Right to Travel - This privilege allows persons to travel without a locality. It is generally extended automatically to all those that are born within said locality, though this may vary and be tied to one's status, parentage, or simply a fee. It can be revoked.

Right to Maintain Retinue - This privilege is automatically extended to all landowners with allodial title and grants them the right to maintain military forces within their lands, so long as these forces do not conflict with more senior laws or privileges. Those holding special titles may also be granted this privilege. Holding this privilege allows one to employ agents on their own authority and extend this privilege to them through their authority, though they are entirely responsible for the actions and behaviours of their agents and their retinue. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked.

Right to Notarise Contracts - This privilege is automatically extended to all landowners with allodial title and grants them the right to notarise all contracts formed and entered into within their lands, so long as these contracts do not conflict with more senior laws or privileges. Those holding special titles may also be granted this privilege and the Lahgarden are granted this privilege. Holding this privilege allows one to employ agents on their own authority and extend this privilege to them through their authority, though they are entirely responsible for the actions and behaviours of their agents and the legality of the contracts notarised. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked.

Right to Issue Bonds - This privilege allows persons to issue bonds of surety when no clan or familial ties exist between them and the recipient and neither party is sworn to the other. Holding this privilege allows one to employ agents on their own authority and extend this privilege to them through their authority, though they are entirely responsible for the actions and behaviours of their agents and the bonds issued. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked.

Right to Mint Coins - This privilege allows persons to mint coins within the Raikh of qualities and natures established by the Swersgesatt. Holding this privilege allows one to employ agents on their own authority and extend this privilege to them through their authority, though they are entirely responsible for the actions and behaviours of their agents and the coins minted. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked.

Right to Maintain and Bear Arms - This privilege is automatically extended to all landowners with allodial title and grants them the right to maintain and bear arms within their lands, so long as these arms do not conflict with more senior laws. In cases where abuse has been found, the privilege can be revoked. Those holding special titles (such as Lord-Lieutenant) and those that have served in the Raikhsharjis, Hauhkunoleiksflutt, or Landsharjis may also be granted this privilege.

Right to Intermarry - This privilege allows persons to marry outside of their caste and may be granted by any Lahgarda.

The Act Concerning the Treatment of Disturbed Minds and Habitual Self-Abuse of the Year 7614 during the Thirty-Fifth Year of Vauhoks

In fealty to the Hauhkuno (our undying lord) and by the grace of the Hauhkunoleiks Swersgesat:
I record all that which has been passed as true by the Raikhsgamotjing.

I hereby sign the instrument of this new act of law, and with it compel millions to conformity.

May Hauhkunoleiks Garaihtsinassus account in all balance. Sa Hauhkuno wardjan.

Statement:

In recognition and honour of those men that sacrificed themselves to the terrible wars, we find that we are compelled to care for those that returned to us in a state less than whole and with injuries of spiritual nature.

It is these men that we must now concern ourselves which, for they not only present a threat to themselves and to their families, but to the very order which they fought to preserve.

It is for their sake that we now order the opening of asylums for the mental and spiritual recuperation of those souls no longer whole.

It is for their sake that we now order that those plagued by unnatural thirsts be sequestered in facilities to bring about an independence from those substances that they are now enslaved to.

Content of Act:

By virtue of the authority vested in us by the Ottoling Code and the statutes of þata Raikh af hize Dalin, we hereby order as follows:

1. The Hebiðdräkhskapiz af þis Blotmiz is hereby charged with overseeing the formation of the Hauhkunoleiks Hailiðoþenst, which is to be responsible for the administration, management, and enforcement of all government health mandates and health care services currently in existence and that might be brought into existence in future.

2. The Hauhkunoleiks Hailiðoþenst is to assume the responsibilities regarding the mental and physical health of the subjects of the Raikh currently under other elements of the Raikhsleidandskapiz.

Each representative shall be designated by the head of the department or agency which he represents. The Hailiðored shall, under the supervision of both the Hebiðdräkh af þis Blotmiz and Hebiðdrakh af Kreg, perform such duties with respect to operations as both shall determine.

4. The Hailiðored is authorised to take all such measures as may be necessary or expedient to administer the powers hereby conferred, and, in addition to the utilisation of existing personnel of any department or agency available therefor, to employ, or authorise the employment of, such additional personnel as they may deem requisite.

5. The Hailiðored is to compile and submit reports to the Raikhsgamotjing on a bi-annual basis with regards to the state of physical and mental health and infectious diseases within and without the Raikh.

6. The Hauhkunoleiks Hailiðoþenst is hereby charged with the formation and administration of new medical institutes and centres within the Raikh, with the goal of treating those with abnormalities of the mind as well as those suffering from chronic self-abuse. These institutes are to be given to the Hauhkunoleiks Hailiðoþenst for certification and monitoring.

7. The Hauhkunoleiks Hailiðoþenst is hereby charged with the formation and administration of new medical research and training facilities within the Raikh and without, with the goal of training future generations in the most proper of the healing arts and discovering new means of treating illnesses. These institutes are to be given to the Hauhkunoleiks Hailiðoþenst for certification and monitoring.

The Act Concerning the Establishment of the Þiudsgamotjingin of the Year 7614 during the Thirty-Fifth Year of Vauhoks

In fealty to the Hauhkuno (our undying lord) and by the grace of the Hauhkunoleiks Swersgesat:
I record all that which has been passed as true by the Raikhsgamotjing.

I hereby sign the instrument of this new act of law, and with it compel millions to conformity.

May Hauhkunoleiks Garaihtsinassus account in all balance. Sa Hauhkuno wardjan.

Statement:

It has long been held that like cleaves to like and that those forced to act against their nature and live without their tribe are poorer on the whole for such things.

As such, we brought about a separation of the tribes and gave those tribes unable to shoulder the burdens and responsibilities of the Raikh a way to lessen their lot, as they are now separate in duties from those fully ready to bear the weight.

It is for the purposes of enabling the natural order of things, that we now give power to the tribal assemblies of old and give leave for new ones to form.

Content of Act:

By virtue of the authority vested in us by the Ottoling Code and the statutes of þata Raikh af hize Dalin, we hereby order as follows:

1. All members of a Þiud are to be considered legally bound to the Þiud as a whole.

2. All Þiudin numbering at least ten-thousand in membership may form a Þiudsgamotjing.

3. All laws passed by a Þiudsgamotjing are to come after Raikhslah, but Þiudslah and Landslah are to be afforded equal precedent over Skironslah and Heiwradaslah. Neither are to enshrine rights that contradict with the other, though both may ban and restrict as they see fit.

4. The Þiudsgamotjingin are to be afforded the right to be heard in the Raikhsgamotjing and vote on matters of legislation, though may not take any part in the election of nor confirmation of a Hauhkuno nor his successors.

5. The Þiudsgamotjingin are not to be able to levy nor collect taxes except in cases where they are empowered to do so on behalf of an authority with this right and within a jurisdiction that falls under that authority.

6. The Þiudsgamotjingin are to compile and submit reports to the Raikhsgamotjing on a quarterly basis with regards to their procedures and activities within and without the Raikh.

7. The Þiudsgamotjingin are to be free to organise themselves and their elections as they see fit.

8. The Þiudsgamotjingin are to assume the same organisational structure as the Dänþing until such a time as they decide to choose another, with each Heiwrada voting in a Sibjagamotjing and each Sibja voting in the Þiudsgamotjing.

9. As used in this Act, the term 'Raikh' shall be construed to include the Territories and possessions of þata Raikh af hize Dalin, including Hweituzdas.

The Act Concerning the Legality of False Confession of the Year 7614 during the Thirty-Fifth Year of Vauhoks

In fealty to the Hauhkuno (our undying lord) and by the grace of the Hauhkunoleiks Swersgesat:
I record all that which has been passed as true by the Raikhsgamotjing.

I hereby sign the instrument of this new act of law, and with it compel millions to conformity.

May Hauhkunoleiks Garaihtsinassus account in all balance. Sa Hauhkuno wardjan.

Statement:

We have found that there are few evils quite as prevalent as that of the wrongful conviction, though we find it better that a hundred innocent men should be punished than to let a single guilty man walk freely.

It is through the machinations of corrupt men of law and those dim-witted or otherwise craven folk that choose to confess to lesser crimes for fear of greater ones, that we must now act as we do to bring about an end to this abominable practice that has persisted since the earliest days.

If only by the smallest measure, we must move to bring about a greater share of justice for all, for it is not one but all that suffers when that share is lessened.

Content of Act:

By virtue of the authority vested in us by the Ottoling Code and the statutes of þata Raikh af hize Dalin, we hereby order as follows:

1. All members of the legal class found to have engaged in soliciting confessions for minor crimes through the threat of greater ones are to be found in contempt of court in perpetuity and barred from practising law and judging cases until death.

2. All persons found to have been brought to confess through means of coercion are to be found innocent of the crime they were convicted of and tried again, with all financial losses to them and their families to be covered foremost by those that coerced them and then by the Raikhsleidandskapiz.

3. For the purposes of this act and all future ones concerning coercion, the acts of presenting false accounts to the accused; misleading the accused as to the severity of their actions; offering the accused a lighter punishment through confession to one or more crimes in exchange for another charge being dropped; menacing the accused; taking injurious or otherwise outrageous action against the accused; threatening the accused; threatening the family of the accused; threatening the weal of the accused, threatening persons unrelated to the accused; threatening objects unrelated to the accused; depriving the accused of sleep, food, clothing, warmth, or water in the hopes of acquiring a confession; and torturing the accused without proper permission or methods shall constitute coercion and be grounds for either mistrial or future finding of innocence.

4. All those of the Raikh or within the Raikh found to have attempted coercion or false confession are to be found guilty of serious dishonesty.

5. As used in this Act, the term 'Raikh' shall be construed to include the Territories and possessions of þata Raikh af hize Dalin, including Hweituzdas.

The Act Concerning the Uniformity of Highways, Lesser Roadways, and Motor-Vehicle Regulation of the Year 7615 during the Thirty-Sixth Year of Vauhoks

In fealty to the Hauhkuno (our undying lord) and by the grace of the Hauhkunoleiks Swersgesat:
I record all that which has been passed as true by the Raikhsgamotjing.

I hereby sign the instrument of this new act of law, and with it compel millions to conformity.

May Hauhkunoleiks Garaihtsinassus account in all balance. Sa Hauhkuno wardjan.

Statement:

It has been observed that with the increase in fortune there has been an increase in wayfarers afoot and in vehicles, which has led to a great loss in life due to insufficient laws regarding the behaviours to be practised on the road.

For this reason, we now see to bring about an end to irregularities and provide a single standard by which all may travel.

Content of Act:

By virtue of the authority vested in us by the Ottoling Code and the statutes of þata Raikh af hize Dalin, we hereby order as follows:

1. At all junctions requiring such indicators, blue lights are to be used to indicate that a driver may proceed, amber lights are to be used to indicate on their own that one should proceed with caution, and red lights are to be used to indicate that proceeding is forbidden. Should lights not be available, flags or other prominent forms of display may be used in substitute according to the usages laid out.

2. Before the light goes blue, it should go both red and amber and then go to blue. When it is going to red, it should only go to amber.

3. During wartime, all motor-vehicles are required to turn off their engines, except for those with the long start up times, when the traffic light is red. Civilian drivers are not to fill their fuel tanks to less than one third and no more than a half.

4. All vehicles meant to seat more than two persons are required to have a first aid kit of a fully stocked nature within them and a fire extinguisher in good working order, with all vehicles required to carry spare bulbs for their headlamps and tow ropes. Reflective triangles and seat belts are not to be mandatory, but are recommended. All vehicles are to be equipped with headlamps of a strong orange-yellow for forward illumination.

5. No vehicle is to exceed the speed of seventy miles an hour on a motorway, sixty miles an hour on a dual carriageway, fifty-five miles an hour on a single carriage way, thirty miles an hour on a broad street, and twenty miles an hour on a narrow street. Any found to do so is to be fined and any deaths deemed to have been caused by such reckless speed is to be treated as a murder.

6. The Raikhsgamotjing hereby forms a standing committee to regulate land-vehicles meant for the road and the behaviours of those using public roads, henceforth known as the Standan faur Braiðswigenfairkerzsfasthaidus.

7. The Standan faur Braiðswigenfairkerzsfasthaidus is to compile all rules and regulations of the road relevant to wayfarers and drivers into a single code, which is to be updated annually on the new year with all new rules and regulations. This Fairkerzsfauragawritinboks is to be mandatory for all drivers to possess within their vehicles in its most up to date form whilst operating them on public roads, with a grace period of one month being given should a new edition have been published on the new year.

8. Within the Raikh signage is to be made uniform and one standard to be applied to road markings, with red borders on white fields being reserved for signs indicating a prohibition and the contents of the field indicating the nature of the prohibition.

9. The exhaust fumes of all vehicles are to be prohibited from being of a deleterious nature unsafe for short term human inhalation and are to abide by the regulations of the Blotmizfrauja with regards to acceptable contents.

↊. All land-vehicles are to be subject to the regulation and standards of both the Standan faur Braiðswigenfairkerzsfasthaidus and Blotmizfrauja.

↋. As used in this Act, the term 'Raikh' shall be construed to include the Territories and possessions of þata Raikh af hize Dalin, including Hweituzdas.

The Five Great Virtues

Abahaidus/Manliness - Manliness is best exemplified as the diligent pursuit of personal glory. To make widows of young wives, to sire and raise many children, and eat of the flesh of great monsters and men brings glory to you, as it proves your mettle and helps perpetuate your legacy. Actions that bring your name into songs of praise or awe are manly for that reason.

Faurasaihwt/Foresight - Foresight is the ability to prepare for that which is not yet come. A wise warrior rests when he is given leave to and eats when he can, for he does not know how long the march will be nor how barren the land. A foolish warrior allows whims to dictate his decisions and thinks not on the future. To set aside grain for coming years, work when you are strong so you might rest when you are weak, and to kill the children of your enemies so as to end a blood feud before it starts, these are the hallmarks of foresight.

Hrom/Fame - To hold command over the hearts and minds of men, to be known far and wide. This is the essence of fame. To gain it, one must boast of his achievements and take trophies or have witnesses to speak of your deeds. A strong sword-arm is not the only way to achieve it, as a quick wit too will serve to bring you into high regard by other men and make you feared by your enemies. Its ultimate power is that of command, to form a host and have it march under your banner.

Aiz/Honour - To speak the truth and scorn falsehoods, to keep secrets entrusted to you, to honour your promises, to not stoop below your own station but to strive for that which is better, and to fulfil your obligations. These things are what make man honourable and are the basis for all trust and good relations. One without honour can not be trusted to keep his shield in battle nor to not betray you to the enemy when it is most convenient to him. These things must be practised in good times and hard times, not when it is simply easy to.

Maiðhaidus/Madness - To behold a cause is lost but to fight for it anyway, to quest for the love of your life and kidnap her in the dark of night, to clash again and again with different means but one purpose despite the odds and failure. The hallmarks of madness are many, but it is best summarised as to pursue your purpose and without regard for your own well-being. To sacrifice all for your purpose when there is no better way of achieving it is an act of madness that brings you into good report and strikes fear into those that oppose you, for no matter the odds you can not be stopped.

The Act Regulating the Carrying of Fire-Arms and Drawing of Pistols and Swords of the Year 7616 during the Thirty-Seventh Year of Vauhoks

In fealty to the Hauhkuno (our undying lord) and by the grace of the Hauhkunoleiks Swersgesat:
I record all that which has been passed as true by the Raikhsgamotjing.

I hereby sign the instrument of this new act of law, and with it compel millions to conformity.

May Hauhkunoleiks Garaihtsinassus account in all balance. Sa Hauhkuno wardjan.

Statement:

With the proliferation of weaponry has come a lag in the proliferation of caution. Too many now carry arms without that inbred caution that marks nobility and those of wise leanings, and with them has come incidents avoidable and unfortunate, resulting in breaches of the common peace.

For this reason, we now see a need to give guidance in when and how one should use such weapons and enforcement of standards that should have been innate to the bearers.

Content of Act:

By virtue of the authority vested in us by the Ottoling Code and the statutes of þata Raikh af hize Dalin, we hereby order as follows:

1. At all times, it is to be prohibited for a man to openly brandish weapons in public spaces and on lands not his own unless given leave to do so by the appropriate authorities or there be just cause to do so, on pain of fine of no less than twenty-five Þaler should no injuries nor crimes be caused and capital punishment should they be caused.

2. Weapons which have had their blades covered or are ensconced are to be considered safe unless brandished with intent to threaten. For those weapons which must be carried openly, they are to be held or carried in such a way as to not indicate imminent use.

3. The affixing of bayonets or other bladed instruments to fire-locks is to be prohibited in public spaces and on lands not his own unless given leave to do so by the appropriate authorities or there be just cause to do so, on pain of fine of no less than fifty Þaler should no injuries nor crimes be caused and capital punishment should they be caused. Soldiers found to have done so without just cause are to be subject to no less than a hundred strokes of the cane.

4. All fire-arms are to be made safe or otherwise have their blades removed and be rendered into fire-locks when legal usage is not imminent.

5. Should a man draw his sword or pistol without good cause, he is to be pilloried and fined at the discretion of the courts. Should his actions result in injury or death, he is to be held responsible on all accounts.

6. Should the weapon be disabled or otherwise rendered inoperable in its current state, it is to be exempt from the preceding regulations except for in cases where it is brandished without leave nor just cause.

7. These regulations are to be applicable within the Raikh and all areas under its legal jurisdiction.

8. As used in this Act, the term 'Raikh' shall be construed to include the Territories and possessions of þata Raikh af hize Dalin, including Hweituzdas.
