Any and all sons and daughters of Minitz, Reinmaren-born or not, shall undergo the Trials of Stallion to be officially recognized as the Reinmaren tribesmen of the realm. After their trials, the Ritual of Blood they shall undergo, to finally be called the Sons and Daughters of Minitz and all Reinmaria. These trials they shall take under the guidance of any of the following: The Herzog, Lawspeaker, Warchief, Bailiff, and Hochgeehrte, Ritter. Without the overseeing of these figures, the trials taken shall be invalid, lest these authorities dictate otherwise. Upon the successful completion of these trials, the prospective tribesman shall await to undergo the Ritual of Blood, whereupon they shall become a tribesman of Reinmar. THE TRIAL OF HUMILITY “Remember your Roots”, these are the words of House Barclay von Minitz, and the roots of the Reinmaren lie in their respect for every and all trades. The good tribesman is he whose respect extends to any and all Shqiptars, whom in common we call the hard workers, be they farmers or warchiefs. Thus, the prospective tribesman shall understand the work of the farmer, miller, and baker through their own experience. They shall be subjected to producing one of the most basic Waldenian dishes, the Pretzel. The components they shall harvest themselves; their scythe shall harvest the wheat, and their hands shall separate the grain from the chaff. The flour they will produce from the grain, to know the struggles of the miller. The eggs they shall harvest from the chicken, to understand the struggle of the poulter. The dough they shall prepare to understand the struggle of the baker. Finally, with the ingredients of their labor they shall produce the Pretzel, to understand the importance of every trade and craft. Their work shall be evaluated by the watchful eye of the Kanun’s chosen, to see that the tribesman values his work, and its product is desirable. THE TRIAL OF THE SPIRIT He who does not know himself cannot know the ways of his people. The aspiring tribesman shall thus be subject to struggle with the innermost fears of his soul, his biggest regrets. If he emerges victorious with an understanding of his own being, then he shall be ready to understand the ways of our people, to become one of us. The tribesman shall thus be offered the potion of the soul, as our ancestors were given in times of old. The potion shall open the view of their spirit to their eyes, their deepest fears shall come forth in front of them. With the depth of their spirit they shall fight, to understand the struggles of their soul, and to defeat them. If victorious, free, courageous, and unyielding they shall emerge, a man of a new spirit, one ready to accept the ways of our people. The Kanun’s chosen shall oversee the battle with their struggles, and, if the tribesman was seen to overcome his struggles, ready he shall be to become a Reinmaren GOTT MIT UNS, His Grace, Leon Brandt Barclay Herzog von Minitz KRE, GMSTSR Duke of Minitz, Count of Neu Brandthof, Viscount of Tucay, Baron of Boriënwald and Brandthof, Lord of Durres, Harvest Lord, Protector of the Aaunic Heartlands, High Chieftain of the Reinmaren 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
