WILLOW HALL CLAN
Official Charter
Foreward:
Be it known unto all nations, kindreds,
tongues, and people unto whom this shall come: That we, through the sweat
of our own brow, have founded Willow Hall for the betterment of all who
roam the lands, whether they be on this continent or others, not discerning
between any race, color, profession or person.
Four score and seven WEEKS ago, our founding
fathers and mothers brought forth a new clan, Willow Hall. Having an idea
and a dream, they pursued it vigorously into which they gained many followers
and friends. These friends formed a tight circle and allowed only the
most worthy Rangers in the land to be admitted. This circle of friends
is now to be known as the "Clan", and Clansman of this order
were bound to uphold the oath in which they swore. The founding Clansman
diligently worked to puttogether an unbreakable bond between the Clansman
found worthy to enter. Therefore on the Tenth day of the First month of
the Ninety-Seventh year in the Twentieth Century, our directives were
formed to promote friendship between all Clansman who enter this circle
and peace among the lands.
THE 10 DIRECTIVES OF A CLANSMAN
1. We believe in Phoen, God of Strength
who blessed us Rangers with the Six-Hundred and Sixth gift, and his holy
companion Oleani.
2. We believe that all people have the
right to roam the lands freely without anything or anyone supressing their
efforts.
3. We believe that through the combined
and unwavering efforts of Rangers in the Clan, all adventurers may reach
their highest potential knowing they have a Ranger to help them in times
of need.
4. We believe that the first principles
and ordinances of the Willow Hall Clan are:
- First, faith in our god Phoen, and his
patron Oleani.
- Second, a strong committment to keep
the lands clean and safe for all.
- Third, faith and obedience to those laws
and Clansman appointed among the Presidency and their respective officers.
5. We believe that no person or group has
the right to decide the fate of others by the taking of life, limb, or
possessions.
6. We believe in giving everyone their
fair chance before judgement is made. No Clansman has the right to take
life, limb, or possession of another, and is sworn to defend. A Clansman
will never cause an entanglement with another, but will live up to the
oath and directives in which they have sworn allegiance.
7. We believe that any group invading the
lands and endangering the lives of others is in direct violation of the
fourth directive, and Clansman of Willow Hall are sworn to defend such
invasions by being "FIRST IN and LAST OUT!"
8. We claim the privilege to form our own
government, and officers in that government have the privilege to govern
Willow Hall as they see fit as to add, change, or clarify any directives,
as much as it is fair and is in the betterment of everyone.
9. We believe in being subject to those
appointed over us. In obeying, honoring, and sustaining the laws in which
they implement.
10. We believe in being honest, true, virtuous,
brave, and doing good to all adventurers. We believe in all things, we
hope for all things, we have endured many things, and hope to endure all
things. If there is anything good, praiseworthy, or in the betterment
of all, we seek after these things.
