    Haeseni Superstitions & Omens

               10th of Vzmey and Hyff, 382 E.S.

     

    Well-founded belief in the supernatural and the souls of the atheistic, impious and deplorable who have not left the mortal plane for Godani has chosen to forbid them access to the Seven Skies or their wickedness has persisted in death to the ruin and destruction the of the lives of the faithful thus traditions and rational practices prevail to keep them at bay. The pious are not alone in this endeavour for the devout have transcribed the signs that Godani sends in warning and, should one pay attention, they can prevent catastrophe and ill luck from plaguing the lives of the righteous.

     

     

    Good Luck:

    For the reverent few who take notice of these signs Godani has bestowed on us in our efforts to remove any evil and impropriety from our lives, good fortune and happiness will flow in abundance. Listed below are the known causes and symptoms augured by Godani-fearing men on the causes of good luck:

     

    • Bird excrement brings good luck. Doubly so for the excrement of a crow.
       
    • An itch on the hands has financial repercussions. An itchy right hand brings good financial fortune whereas an itchy left ushers in bankruptcy.
       
    • An awkward silence is a sign that an angel is surely passing through the room, blessing you with their presence.
       
    • Carry an acorn with you to stay young looking, it is common practice for a suitor to gift one to a potential or existing match.
       
    • Knock on wood to reverse a jinx. Acknowledging that you have jinxed one’s self and correcting it discourages malicious forces from acting upon it.
       
    • Crying at your wedding brings good luck and a fruitful evening.
       
    • Wedding bells ward off evil spirits. Godani saw fit to have unions of holy matrimony be a wholly glorious event so that the only spirits causing issues at a wedding are the ones consumed by the couples’ relatives and friends.

     

     

    Bad Luck:

    Those who do not heed the signs or commit an action that has connections to inviting spirits, wrongdoers or transgressors against Godani into one’s life will be struck with misfortune and ruin. Listen below are the known causes and symptoms augured by Godani-fearing men on the causes of bad luck:

     

    • Do not go right home after a funeral otherwise you invite the spirit to follow you home and cause untold misery and misfortune on all the occupants.
       
    • Whistling indoors welcomes evil spirits for they are attracted to the whimsical tune that has no air to carry it away.
       
    • Knitting outside could prolong winter for you are telling Godani that you are expecting conditions to remain cold and frigid.
       
    • On your wedding night do not change your slippers or you will change your man. If one cannot even be loyal to a pair of shoes for one night, then one’s eyes will certainly stray from the wedding bed.
       
    • Pregnant women should avoid eating asymmetrical foods or else their offspring will be disfigured and lopsided.
       
    • Do not walk into a hospital during the month of Wzuvar and Byvca or your chances of walking out will be slim to none.
       
    • Do not sit at the corner of a dinner table or else you may become infertile.
       
    • If you or someone else nod three times during a conversation, the conversations must end at once. Nodding multiple times implies a stagnancy in the exchange of words and a lack of sincerity.
       
    • Do not wear red during a storm lest it is your intention to attract and be struck by lightning.
       
    • Do not toast with water unless you want your friends to die. Opposingly to toast with a serving of Carrion Black is to wish good tidings and prosperous ventures.
       
    • To enter a room with your left foot is a sign of imminent bad luck.
       
    • Hide your thumbs when passing a graveyard, else you invite a spirit to hold your hand.
       
    • If you are experiencing a tickling sensation in your nose, make sure to ask somebody to slap you on the hand and slap them back otherwise you are risking getting into much more serious trouble, as the streltsy believe an itchy nose is a sign of an upcoming fight.
       
    • To have an uneven number of livestock can cause disease to run rampant through the community of them. This has been a long-standing tradition kept within the streltsy.
       
    • Being knocked over a fence in a tourney grounds results in a year’s bad luck. Long persisting injuries are the most common of the ill-fated fortunes.
       
    • A Haeseni Chess game left unfinished will upset the stomach.
       
    • Do not place two mirrors across from one another otherwise a wandering spirit may be trapped between them. These spirits are liable to cause nightmares and misfortune in whichever household they have become entrapped in.
       
    • Yellow flowers cause infidelity. To be gifted them is an insult equivalent to calling one an adulterer or sodomite.
       
    • The name Franz is a cursed one or so it is to be believed if you listen to the streltsy populace. One named Franz is bound to have a hard life with an unfortunate end.
       
    • Should a man’s weapon break, his body is sure to follow. The breaking of a weapon signifies a significant loss in one’s life and Godani sees it fit to blind a good portion of the sinners whose weapon breaks.

     

     

    Omens:

    Some signs are not as easily recognisable as a sign of good triumphing over evil or actions that could usher in the ill-meaning and disastrous into one’s life, these are called omens. Omens are a signal from Godani that something is coming which can be a righteous or calamitous event for he can see into the lives’ of men and foretell a decision they can make for good or worse or he gives forewarning of nature's course. Listed below are the omens augured by Godani-fearing men on events preceding Godani’s will or that which strays from it:

     

     

    • A crow flying right to left is a sign of good things to come whereas a crow flying from left to right is an ill omen. The most Godani-fearing believe that to stand in front of the Palace is the ideal spot to construe these portents.
       
    • A lone traveler who passes a stranger on the road can either come upon great wealth or horrible pain.
       
    • One for sorrow, two for mirth, three for a wedding, and four for a birth. Five for silver, six for gold and seven for a secret untold. The number of crows in a murder can determine these.
       
    • Thunder without lightning is an omen for sudden change. Godani’s voice resonates throughout the heavens in times of extreme change.

    Summons: Krawn z. Jorg'Iron'heartz

    in Haeseni Law

    Posted

    SUMMONS TO APPEAR

    BEFORE THE AULIC COURT

     

    oIKp7zZPS4wznLwQUWaBgkV_JLqNoOfjD11YwAoGeijLQJEP9DNNbGMGzv51qqjRxCsN3-qm9lZGhGVnC0VrZxZyXv_o_BncdlFFzywEZgq8_eApyk5c3Demgg-3_JS1jCQmOJme

     

    KRUZAE ZWY KONGZEM

     

     

    This Summons, issued on 7th of Jula and Piov of 379 ES by the Crown and represented by Royal Jurist Aleksandr var Ruthern,

     

    Compels the Aulic Court to call upon Jorg’Iron’heartz to appear before it and answer the following charges:

     

    417.01: The crime of possessing any intoxicating or addicting substances besides alcohol and tobacco shall constitute a middling offence;
    417.03: The crime of distributing any intoxicating or addicting substances besides alcohol and tobacco shall constitute a middling offence.

     

    Arisen from these circumstances:

     

    Her Royal Majesty, Annika of Astfield, called out from the entrance to “The Stout Crow” tavern and insisted that a group inside had been smoking a substance aside from tobacco. Jorg’Iron’heartz was searched by a Royal Detective and member of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl where intoxicating substances used in medical practices were confiscated. Kazimir Moskvin was found to be under the influence of the same substance but claimed that Jorg’Iron’heartz had deceived him into consuming it. Karl Amador was found in the group and when questioned answered similarly to Kazimir Moskvin.

     

    I swear the contents of this Summons to be true and accurate to the best of my belief before Godan.


    Signed,
    Lord Aleksandr var Ruthern

    A Sketch of Aleksandr Ruthern grilling government officials in Duma, circa 374 E.S.

     


     

    About Aleksandr:

     

    Aleksandr var Ruthern is an incumbent Alderman, the current Lord Inquisitor of the Royal Duma, and a Royal Jurist of the Office of the Justiciar. He became a Jurist to fight for Justice and Respect of the Rule of Law, and now he’s running for a second term as Alderman to continue to fight for you! 

     

    Aleksandr believes in Law and Order, and he’s shown he is fearless in pursuing it when he helped take down the renowned drug lord and murderer, Matthieu.

     

    Aleksandr believes in Holding Officials Accountable, and has shown his courage and ruthlessness in doing so during his tenure as Lord Inquisitor of the Duma by holding the Lord Speaker, Igor Kort, accountable for his alleged corruption and bias when he successfully brought forth a vote of no confidence against the speaker and won.

     

    Aleksandr’s Promises:

     

    1. To close loopholes used by criminals and corrupt officials that exploit the Law Code.

    2. To Hold the Offices of the Haeseni Government Accountable through Summons in the Royal Duma.

    3. To seek out Corruption and bring forth Justice and Government Accountability.

    4. To work with other Duma members in bringing forth meaningful legislation.

    5. To listen and represent the Haeseni public.

    6. To clarify the Haeseni Law Code in places it is too broad or too general.


     

    A Vote For Aleksandr is a Vote for Accountability!

    "In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The royal detectives, who investigate crime, and the High Justiciar, who prosecutes the offenders. These are their stories." Aleksandr var Ruthern narrates.
