SÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON MINITZ,

 

Throughout time, it can be easily seen that a pattern of cultures arises. When there is no common culture among one another, a faction is doomed to perish into obscurity as its traditions, the mark of its people, and its very soul, is forgotten in lieu of others. As such, I see it fit that these laws be enacted with the support of the Tribesmen such that our culture is preserved in purity forevermore.

EDICT I: NAMES

 

Thus is it proposed that a Subsection SEVEN be added to the SECOND Section in the SECOND Chapter of the THIRD book of the Kanun BE IMPLEMENTED AS:

 

VII. ON REINMAREN NAMES: The Reinmaren Tribesmen of the Herzogtum shall be obligated to take a new name upon blooding, of origin Waldenian or Kaedreni.

EDICT II: SUBVERSION

 

Thus it is proposed that a TENTH Wrongdoing of the THIRD Chapter of the FIRST Book of the Kanun BE IMPLEMENTED AS:

 

X. ON SUBVERSION: The subject who attempts to spread foreign cultural influences within our motherland, be it through food, language, dress, or likewise, in beyond an academic, casual, and/or business sense - as is the case should one attempt to coerce another into abandoning their culture for another - is guilty of the wrongdoing of Subversion. Let the wrongdoer pay a small fee of gold, not exceeding 200 pieces, and be relegated to change their ways at once.
