[Closed]Special Considerations Under the Law
-
Council,
Though I understand the deep spiritual attachment and connection druids have with nature and their groves, the laws and oaths of the wild walkers do not line up with our sense of civilized order and law. I will likely not ever be able to craft a law that fits into logical justice that also does not conflict with the worldview of thsoe who have shunned civilization. Instaed I propose the following:
Wildwalkers
-
The wildwalkers are trusted to maintain balance and order amongst their own and may do so without interferences from the kingdom so long as their actions do not post a threat to the kingdom, it's people, or its interests.
-
Wildwalkers may request a "Grove" be granted a special protected status where it would be treated with the same rights as a "Temple" and the Great druid/Grove guardian treated as "Official Clergy" over that grove. Only those groves approved by the crown are granted this protected status.
-Morpheus

-
The kingdom has no hopes of micromanaging the wildwalkers or raiding their groves should they ever have intentions that work against the crown. Thus, we would be offering the illusion of benefits or promise.
Do note, I don't expect the Kingslayer works alone. A reasonable consideration after the war.
Some additional ideas..
Wildwalkers
- May bring their animal companion within the city, so long as it is of no harm to the public, they could gaze upon the tamed beasts in awe
- Are permitted to change the weather within the city, so long as it is to the benefit of the kingdom and balance
- Wildwalkers can issue challenges to other rangers or druids that would impose on their groves, without interference from the kingdom
- May preemtively handle necromancers or those summoning the Occult, should evidence be found afterwards that they disturbed the balance. Should it not, the wildwalker will go through the normal court proceedings
Not saying all or any of these should be the case. Simply ideas.
kindly,

I am but a humble clerk-
but giving them the opportunity to bring feral beasts where civilized men and women live and seek peace is the opposite of a goodly book of laws.
The difference between a safe mastiff and a beast is whether it has a leash, a collar, and a muzzle in the presence of its betters.

No one may bring wild beasts within the city.

Council,
Please remember the current Hierophaunt harbors and protects known criminals, including the man who assassinated the king. I make the recommendations I did under great strain to my need for order only to acknowledge the Queen’s request. The Druids already think themselves a higher authority than the law, any more extra rights over my recommendation to treat them with the similar equity as a church is done at my extreme protest. That is all else I will argue on the matter, are there sufficient or will there be further debate between the others? I will also support lessening their rights an imposing further restrictions.
Wildwalkers

The wildwalkers are trusted to maintain balance and order amongst their own and may do so without interferences from the kingdom so long as their actions do not post a threat to the kingdom, it's people, or its interests. And as long as they do not violate the laws of civilized areas.

Wildwalkers may request a "Grove" be granted a special protected status where it would be treated with the same rights as a "Temple" and the Great druid/Grove guardian treated as "Official Clergy" over that grove. Only those groves approved by the crown are granted this protected status.

- The Wildwalkers are entrusted to maintain the balance of the natural world, and may do so as long as it is within the laws of the kingdom
- The Wildwalkers governs druids and rangers within the Kingdom, and must ensure they conduct their duties to the natural world within the laws of the kingdom
- Wildwalkers members, druids, and rangers who fail to uphold the laws of the kingdom must be reported to the Crown by the Wildwalkers
- Druidic Sanctuaries known as "Druidic Groves" are granted special protective status similar to shrines, and are protected by their designated "Great druid/Grove guardian" with the same status as Official Clergy. These Groves and their protectors must be listed to the Crown to be granted this privilege, violators of the kingdom's laws will lose this privilege

//OOC Druids with groves get perks like Official Clergy and the groves are treated as shrines, nothing more. Nothing less.

Members of the House of Ash may respond with force, if necessary to prevent the defiling or desecration of the dead, any grave, any tomb or to prevent the imminent animation of the dead or summoning of an undead spirit. They are required to report the incident to peace officials following.

Various border nobles petition that they are given an exemption to the army limitations due to their lands bordering other nations or are otherwise embroiled with monstrous tribes.
- Clerk Joseph
P.S: It isn't unusual for border nobles to receive special permission to have larger armies than otherwise would be permitted due to their station as acting fortresses against foreign invasion.

I find myself agreeing with Clerk Johannes here
I am not sure why we would give Druids special exemptions when thanks to them the Helmlands are full of fungus and spores that seemingly infest others with diseases.
They turned away aid from good adventurers such as the House of the Morning to ally with lycans, giants and other monsters.

Exemptions may be granted by the Crown, judged on a case by case basis. This covers any special petitions.
