A Bailiff’s Call

Issued by

Sir Hrani von Byrde

In the year of our Lord 2034

 

 

ÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON REINMAR,

HARK,

A CALL FROM THE BAILIFF.

 

It has been many years since the Bailiff last walked with Hirdsmen at his side. In the days of our forebears the Bailiff never strode alone, nor without the strength of his kin at his side. When judgement was due the Hirdsmen were summoned. These honor bound warriors were sworn not by oath alone, but by his schwur for the tribe in which he serves and the necessity to uphold the Kanun, the ancient law that binds tribe to tribe, and man to duty. 

Bailiffshand is not only a title, but a legacy. These appointed hands serve alongside the Bailiff in upholding the judgments of the Kanun and drafting his decrees. Laboring steadfastly for the perseverment of our order and culture in any Reinmaren holding. 

 

From the lips of the Lawspeaker to the hands of the Bailiff, Kanunic justice finds its mark. 

 

Let my call reach you kinsmen,

 

Men of resolve, tribesmen who wield sharp steel and sharp tongue; do not come to boast about honour, instead uphold it. Do not drown in the words you speak, instead be clear, precise, and just. Come to endure, to obey command, and act without complaint. You shall serve as the Hand of the Bailiff, riding at my side. You shall bear witness to how Kanunic justice is wrought. The Kanun will be your commandment, duty, and guide the path you walk. Come to me, the Lord Bailiff, if you deem yourself worthy of being my hand.

Owyn read the call at his desk within Castle Holsord. His thin lips curled into a faint grin. "I'm going to become a Bailiffshand." he said to himself.
