SÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON MINITZ,

 

For Waldenian soil belongs to the Waldenians, and therefore must be protected by us. A Reinmaren man who would sit and watch as his brothers fight to protect their soil is no Reinmaren at all. Let this edict apply retroactively to existing Reinmaren men, so that they may prove themselves before their brethren.

EDICT I: ON THE KRIEGSMACHT

 

Thus is it proposed FOURTH Subsection in the SECOND Section in the SECOND Chapter in the THIRD Book of the Kanun:

 

"ON THEODERIC’S WARBAND: The Reinmaren Tribesmen of the realm, who shall be known as the Sons and Daughters of Minitz, shall be allowed to serve their motherland as her protector, and join Theoderic’s Warband as warriors."
 

BE REWRITTEN AS

 

"ON THE KRIEGSMACHT: The Reinmaren Tribesmen of the realm, who shall be known as the Sons and Daughters of Minitz, shall be required to serve in Theoderic’s Warband for a period of five years, known as a tour of service. Let women, children, and invalids be excused from this responsibility. If the officers can conclude their participation has been adequate, they may be relegated to auxiliary forces in times of peace. In times of war, the Herzog may declare that auxiliary forces be called upon to resume their service."

EDICT II: ON THE FEIGHEIT

 

Thus is it further proposed that the FOURTH Wrongdoing in the SECOND Chapter in the FIRST Book of the Kanun:

 

"ON DESERTION: The warrior who abandons his Herzog and his fellow warriors shall be judged by the Kanun as a deserter. Unless the Lawspeaker or the Herzog interferes in accordance to the Reinmaren customs and demands another price, The shield brothers of the deserter are entitled to extract the owed blood price through their crossbows or their whips; for the deserter is the brother of a murderer."

 

BE REWRITTEN AS

 

"ON FEIGHEIT: The warrior who abandons his Herzog and his fellow warriors shall be judged by the Kanun as a deserter. Let also those Tribesmen who refuse the call to arms in times of war or their tour of service upon oathing, without exclusion from the Kriegsmacht by the Herzog or the Lawspeaker, be branded as a coward and a cheat. Let these two groups, the coward and the deserter, be branded together as Feiglingen. Unless the Lawspeaker or the Herzog interferes in accordance to the Reinmaren customs and demands another price, The Reinmaren brothers of the Feigling are entitled to extract the owed blood price through their crossbows or their whips; for the deserter is the brother of a murderer, and cowardice is the father of dissent."
