Druidic Moot Guidelines

[ToodIes 1380]

 

[!] A notice is sent out to the Druids of the Mother Circle, and a small, thin tome appears in their library. It is dated to 1700.

 

~{| Moot Guidelines |}~

 

• Only Archdruids can call a Moot. Anyone can approach Archdruids if they want a Moot to be called for whatever reason.
• Anyone can attend a Moot, except Shuns and banished (unless their presence is specifically requested). Archdruids have the right to remove anyone at their discretion.
• Archdruids lead the discussion at Moots. Attuned Druids may speak freely unless told to stop. Dedicants and outsiders may only speak if they raise their hand and are called upon. Any dedicant who speaks out of turn will be reprimanded.
• Some decisions will be made at Moots, although many are made by Archdruids. These decisions can be made by a simple majority vote among all the Druids attending, a majority vote among all Mother Circle Druids, or a majority vote among all Inner Circle Druids (Guides, Archdruids, and Hierophants of the Mother Circle).
• Nominations for Guideship or Hierophancy are made at the end of Moots. Nominations for an Archdruid are made immediately after that Archdruid retires. Nominations for Guideship may be made by any attuned Druid of the Mother Circle (including Archdruids). Nominations for Hierophancy may be made by any Inner Circle member, or any Mother Circle member who has been attuned for an elven year. Nominations for Archdruids may be made by any attuned Druid of the Mother Circle, except for current Archdruids. Nominees must be asked if they accept their nominations.
• Nominees for Archdruid and Hierophancy must be present at the Moot. Nominees for Guide need not be present, if they have previously indicated that they would accept their nomination.
• Only attuned Druids of the Mother Circle may vote on Guideships. Only Inner Circle members and Mother Circle members attuned for an elven year may vote on Hierophancies. To pass, a guideship or hierophancy must simply have more “ayes” than “nays”.
• Only attuned Druids of the Mother Circle may vote on Archdruids (except for current Archdruids). To be confirmed as an Archdruid, a candidate must have the most “ayes”. A “nay” removes an “aye” from a candidate.
• Shuns and unshuns may occasionally be decided via Moot, but are mostly decided amongst the Archdruids.
• Anyone may propose topics for discussion, subject to Archdruid approval, after all Archdruid-led topics have been discussed. They may come up to the podium to speak if the Archdruids allow them to.

“I’ll do whatever t’ damn well I please, at moots.” Kasfer decides.

“More questionable decisions...” An old Hierophant remarked after reading the notice. “Perhaps it’s finally time...”

[Delmodan 853]

“Mm..” The Druidess would murmur quietly to herself as she read the tome some before gracefully moving to depart towards the Sage Way Sanctuary.

“They’re guidelines Mal’onn,” Niv remarked at his announcement. “It’s to keep things more organised, and less of a headache for everyone involved.”

“I dunno, sounds gross. Sounds like... descendancy.

“Mmm.. Keep makin’ some dumb choices, don’t dey?” The old mali’ker grumbled, walking away with a furrowed brow.

“The only punishment is for Dedicants. It’s just things we’d like you to consider.”

”Do they realize that these are just polite things we ask of them to do during a moot.. Because there are no other written rules anywhere else?” Comments a confused Archdruid

[Luciloo 2653]

“Or that we’re open to discussion?” another adds.

Vashzel would feel like a second hand citizen, thinking of ways to not talk during this moot
