The Patriarch Decree #000001: The Rules
1. The Patriarch is our system of government here in Undorn. The Warden, your leader, and his three sons are the head of the Patriarch. All other local leaders are appointed by the Warden or his sons. Every person in a position of power is there for a reason. Do not question any leader at any time.
2. Enforcers of law are approved by the Warden and the Warden's family. They are the young men of Undorn who are here to keep every citizen safe. If you choose to enlist as an enforcer, you are bound to the military until you are no longer physically apt. The Warden will fund any schooling, home, or medical bills for any and all retired enforcers.
3. No citizen is to question an enforcer. He/she must trust that each enforcer is acting on direct orders from The Patriarch. If an enforcer is questioned, the questioner may be detained, jailed, and tried.
4. Only a first name is allowed in Undorn. Family name is the name of your country. Only one name per region. All names must be approved by patriarch before ID is granted. The only people allowed family names are members of the Patriarch. This is allowed to remind citizens that the patriarch makes, enforces, and can change the laws at any given time.
5. All citizens must carry ID. If you are not carrying an ID and an enforcer encounters you, you are detained, questioned, and if no justifiable reason for not having an ID is found, you are jailed and recorded as a Nameless.
6. Independent businesses are permitted when approved by the Warden or the Warden's family.
7. Any individual born into the serving class can only transcend that class if given permission by the Warden or his family.
8. Marriage licenses are approved by local leaders.
9. When Undorn is at war, citizens must trust that the Patriarch is doing everything it can to protect the country.
