Iverach 712 Share Posted October 25, 2023 THE SILVER LAW Issued by the ASULIR 12th of The Deep Cold, 151 SA CONTENTS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER I – THE OBVIOUS LAWS CHAPTER II – THE DICHOTOMY OF LEWDNESS CHAPTER III – THE RETURN TO PURITY CHAPTER IV – THE SILVER TRIBUNAL CHAPTER V – THE TIERS OF PUNISHMENT INTRODUCTION “Rooting out impurity is an eternal battle, though paramount for our permanence. Without the struggle await only toil and everlasting torment.” Malaurir Dimaethor Elervathar The Silver Sanctum is built on Laws and Principles well-rooted in maehr’sae hiylun’ehya and the teachings of our forefathers traced back many centuries. It is the view of the Asulir that the reintroduction of The Obvious Laws and The Dichotomy of Lewdness is imperative for the next step in our march onwards. CHAPTER I THE OBVIOUS LAWS “The venerated society of the mali’aheral will not tolerate those who cannot abide by the simplest of civilised behaviours. For those who are incapable of deducing such things (or philosophers who tend to debate the existential qualities of “laws” and the purposelessness of attempting to order a world that is fundamentally chaotic, or perhaps something equally irritating) I shall write a guide of laws that should be, to most civilised beings, obvious.” Malaurir Lucion Sullas ARTICLE 1. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate unsanctioned violence. This applies primarily to acts of physical aggression upon the Mali’thill. Such unauthorised violence will only be permitted when absolutely necessary - for example when one finds themselves in immediate danger and self-defence is required. ARTICLE 2. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate theft. Theft is frowned upon greatly within our venerated land. As a society we are called to craft, develop and earn our own belongings. To steal from Haelunorians is to disrespect the work of one’s bloodline and to bring shame to your own. ARTICLE 3. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate the meanderings of unscrupulous and alien wanderers. Those who are deemed unworthy will not be allowed entrance. Those who are allowed within will be on a very short leash. Should they irritate enough of the citizenry, foreign beings will be ejected--by force if necessary. ARTICLE 4. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate the purposeful tarnishment of purity. Purity is not in the eyes of the beholder. It is in the venerated manners of our Mali’thill ancestors where we find guidance in purity. It is not enough that one’s heart is pure--for only when one’s mind and blood remains unmuddied can true purity be gained. ARTICLE 5. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate the disgraceful and irrational destruction of written thought. Knowledge and written thought are completely imperative for the progression and preservation of our people; a custom rooted in maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. The unsanctioned destruction of tomes of any value within the great library is to be treated as a crime akin to both unsanctioned violence and theft. ARTICLE 6. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate purposeful mutilation of oneself. To ensure the bodily purity of all citizens, the mutilation of one’s body for reasons aesthetic is forbidden. Medical licensing and governmental approval can be acquired by those with individual needs, but the harming of one’s own body through piercing and other means is, as is necessary for soundness of mind, to be rejected. This extends to the dyeing of one’s hair. ARTICLE 7. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate attire which obscures one’s identity. To ensure the safety of the Mali’thill, and indeed of all Blessed Citizens, it has been determined that the wearing of overly large hoods, helmets, full masks, and other forms of obscuring perception of identity both through worn attire and magics is hereby banned among all non-citizens and non-mali’thill of Haelun’or. ARTICLE 8. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate slanderous public speech by untempered tongues toward invited guests, allies or the Empire. All in Haelun'or will remain courteous and hospitable to all invited guests and denounce any who publicly slander her allied nations or factions. The scattering and distribution of slander and anti-purity propaganda concerning the Silver Empire of Haelun'or puts the stability and health of the populace at risk. CHAPTER II THE DICHOTOMY OF LEWDNESS “The filth accumulates, not in the sewers, but in our very streets. The waste that pollutes the once clean walkways of Haelun’or is carried in the hearts of her children. To purge the city, she must expel these waste-bearers, for they are disgraceful, lliran. Our city weeps, and her silver tears leak away the memory of a once great civilisation. Larihei lives in disrepute, and we are to blame. We have not lived up to her.. Examine your hands, and the hands of your lliran. It is time to wash away the filth of the streets." Anve’vuln Lazul ARTICLE 1. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in physical fraternisation outside of marriage. This crime disrespects the very nature of the matrimonial union. Unmarried citizens who physically fraternise disregard the purpose of procreation and cause unruly distraction, emotional disruption and in the worst case scenario - consequences of bastardisation, a terrible crime, considering it taints the reputation of an otherwise innocent mali’aheral child. ARTICLE 2. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in fraternisation with an oem’ii (an oem’ii being any mali less than fifty years of age). Oem’ii are indeed the most precious safeguard of our kin. Subjecting an emotionally immature mind to such matters is unacceptable. ARTICLE 3. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in public fraternisation of an overly intimate nature. A disrespect of peers and the Empire’s dignity itself, those who violate this covenant of Haelun’or’s sanctity deserve not to walk her halls. ARTICLE 4. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in fraternisation of any intimate sort with impures or other races. Preservation of life itself resides in the idea of purity. To lay waste to one’s untainted mali’aheral blood is a crime no less potent than murder of another citizen. ARTICLE 5. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in fraternisation of a homosexual nature. All who engage in intimacy in public or private with a member of the same gender should be treated as unclean, dirtying the sights of their fellows with such a display of uncivilised, unproductive lust. ARTICLE 6. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in incestuous fraternisation of any kind. No self-respecting mali will need explanation as to why this type of behaviour is both obscene and illegal. CHAPTER III THE RETURN TO PURITY “You are more Mali’thill than you admit. Learn of your ancestors, of the past, it will guide your future. Restore honour and pride in your long wayward heart.” Malaurir Dimaethor Elervathar The Path to Purity is an ancient process. The Mali’thill are a people of mercy, offering that which will have true lasting impact; re-education. As the Mali’ata has wronged our venerated race, they must seek redemption in the eyes of all who would call themselves Mali’thill. As such, they must gain the forgiveness of all who dwell within the pure lands. THE FOUR STAGES FOR PURIFICATION STAGE 1. The Drawing of the Curtain The Mali’ata must be sincere in their desire to become a part of our society once more, and be willing to perform all the tasks asked of them. They must be willing to acknowledge the wrongness of the crimes they have committed against their kin and Haelun’or as a whole. Should they not conform to this ideal, they shall not be allowed to return. STAGE 2. Righteous Revulsion Should the Mali’ata be sincere and willing, they will be allowed to enter Haelun’or. Here, they must seek out every Laurir of The Council of Nobles, Elheial’lauriran, and tell them individually of the crimes they have committed towards Mali’aheral. They will then, after informing each individual of the crimes, ask for forgiveness from each. The Laurir may ask the Mali’ata of anything, and the Mali’ata will do as they ask with great vigour and a calm disposition in a manner befitting any true Mali’aheral. The labours the Mali’ata provided are but a pittance in exchange for the attacks on purity they have performed. As a Laurir, standards of good judgement are expected and a request which calls to question the logic of itself will reflect negatively upon themselves if inadequately explained. Should a Laurir request a task that clashes with the laws of Haelun’or, the individual shall be punished according to the crimes they requested to be committed. The Mali’ata may not advance to the next stage unless every Laurir gives their forgiveness. STAGE 3. Learning the Way All Mali’ata must understand and revere the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya, as it is the very phrase that defines our people, our culture, and our civilisation. Those that lack an understanding, or adequate interpretation, of the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya will find themselves shortly more unwelcome than they had been previously. The Mali’ata shall be assigned a teacher from the pure Blessed Citizenry, the duty of whom it will be to teach the Mali’ata maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. During this stage, the teacher may assign to the Mali’ata multiple tasks which they must complete in order to advance to the next stage. At the end of this process, they may be tested by members of The Silver Council of their knowledge regarding the blessed phrase. STAGE 4. Acceptance The Mali’ata, after gaining forgiveness and understanding the apex of our culture, will be called to an assembly of all volunteering First Class Citizens. Here it will be decided by the majority whether the Mali’ata may become a part of the exalted society and resume their title of Mali’thill. Should the Citizenry decide that the actions of the mali’ata are satisfactory, they shall again be considered a Citizen. The mali’ata will regain their title of Mali’thill and they may see Haelun’or as their home once more. With the conclusion of this final step, a celebration should be held - as they have obtained citizenship. CHAPTER IV THE SILVER TRIBUNAL “The Silver Tribunal is both shield and sword, the most important weapon in the Haelunorian armoury versus corruption and crime.” Malaurir Dimaethor Elervathar In the event that a citizen of Haelun’or is accused of violating any of the above laws and is summoned to stand trial by either the Asulir or the Okarir’sil, a group of three judges, pariran’tir, are appointed to operate as a panel of decision makers. These judges, once appointed, shall deliberate upon the accused’s guilt. When a decision is made, punishment as appropriate will be delivered at their discretion. If the judges so desire more evidence, they may call for a testimonial, or a character witness. Members of The Silver Council and the Imperial Family can only be summoned to stand trial by the Asulir. A judge, parir’tir, is chosen based on a hierarchy of respect and authority, namely: a) Okariran b) Lauriran c) First Class Citizen Should the accused not appear at the time they were summoned, they shall be considered guilty and a sentence shall be issued by the pariran’tir in their absence. CHAPTER V THE TIERS OF PUNISHMENT “Haelun’or has proven herself to be efficient in cleansing society from the corrupt minds. Whether that may be through execution or banishment, we drive out plagues by grace of our rigorous loyalty to the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya.” Malaurir Iaria Elervathar THE FIRST TIER OF PUNISHMENTS For minor infractions and crimes against order, either by discretion of the Asulir, the Okarir’sil or the Pariran’tir after a concluded trial, the guilty may be punished with: Mandated cultural classes Mandated civil service Fines THE SECOND TIER OF PUNISHMENTS For repeated or severe violation of The Obvious Laws or The Dichotomy of Lewdness, by discretion of the Asulir, the Okarir’sil or the Pariran’tir after a concluded trial, the guilty may be punished with any of the First Tier punishments, in addition to: Stripping of property Annulment of marriage The Path to Purity Corporal Punishment Penal Labour Penal Transportation THE THIRD TIER OF PUNISHMENTS For the most heinous crimes, where there is no reason to believe the guilty may ever reform, only death is fitting. The sentence may be made by discretion of the Asulir, the Okarir’sil or the Pariran’tir after a concluded trial. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
