RURIKSTING GUIDE

By the Authority and Will of the King of Norland

Issued on 14th of Caedric’s Kindling, 462 FifAeSF

(7/9/23)

 

SUMMARY

The Ruriksting (“King’s Court”) is a bi-weekly assembly where the Chieftains, Baronage, and people of Norland have the opportunity to present their petitions, offer tribute, and voice their concerns to the King of Norland.

PROCEDURE 

Each Ruriksting session will begin with a brief addressment from the King. Subsequently, the King will summon each of the Rurikkid clans in the following order: Edvardsson, Eiriksson, Freysson. Clan Volaren will be called upon immediately thereafter. The remaining established clans of Norland will then be called upon in an order based on the amount of tribute contributed during the previous Ruriksting. Finally, individuals from non-recognized clans, Norland's subjects, and foreigners seeking an audience with the King will be invited to approach the throne.

TRIBUTE 

Rather than paying tax in the tax house, officially recognized clans are required to present their tax as a tribute during each Ruriksting. The magnitude of the tribute directly influences the favorable regard bestowed upon the clan, granting them the privilege of being called upon earlier than less generous clans in the upcoming Ruriksting. Failure to pay the baseline tribute or absence from three consecutive Ruriksting sessions may result in the revocation of a clan's status. Considering the substantial number of clans, the act of presenting tributes should be limited to a single gesture to ensure an expeditious process.

REQUESTS

Should you have a particular request for the King to hear, the Ruriksting serves as an opportune moment to do so. Various types of requests can be made during this assembly, including but not limited to appeals for land, honorific titles, governmental positions, or military aid. It is customary to precede such requests with the act of paying tribute.

DISPUTES 

In the instance of an ongoing dispute, the dissenters may approach the King and seek intervention for resolution. The King may provide assistance in settling the dispute, which could involve the payment of weregild to the affected party as a means of reparation. It is important to note that the King's decision is ultimate and must bring about a definitive conclusion to the dispute. 

 

 

Spoiler

Important Note: It is highly recommended to plan and prepare your emotes in advance for each Ruriksting session. Given the potential for these gatherings to be lengthy and demanding for all involved, having a clear idea of your intended actions ahead of time can help ensure a smoother and more efficient process.
