🏛️ The High Statutes (Public Core Laws)
Statute I: The Law of Conservation & Magical Debt
Magic cannot be generated from nothing. Multi-threaded weaves borrow planetary infrastructure, requiring a restorative eco-tithe within nine days.
Consequences For Noncompliance
First time offenders face magical arrest for a fortnight. Any attempt at weaving causing obnoxious backfiring.
Second Offense: The offender will be rendered luck-neutral for a period of 4 years, 5 months, and 3 days. (You will experience no luck at all, everything has a 50% chance of happening. Things will never go arbitrarily in your favor. Nor will you receive bad luck.)
Third-time defaulters face permanent luck-neutrality and an immediate legal renaming to Phlegm Soupy Sam. If it is the culprit's birthday, renaming shall proceed as normal. Atheria doesn't forgive you and neither do we.
Note 66a: Due to a surprising amount of complaints, the courts have agreed to add Phlegm Soupy Thalnor, Mucous Melvin, or Phlegm Soupy Vaelar or Moisty Moria. Phlegm Soupy Sam will remain default. Changes made upon request via Form 402-B within a fortnight.
Note 66b: Offenders must recite their new name with enough “viscosity" and “harumph”. If deemed insufficient, the Resonance Council will make you stand in a bucket of warm oatmeal while you repeat it until compliance is achieved.
Note 66c: We cannot believe we are enacting this addendum but, please for the love of the divine, do not use one's own waste as fertilizer while tithing unless it is of the utmost and direst of needs. It's unbecoming and worst of all undignified to subject Atheria to it. It's akin to sheepskin! Doing so, will result in permanent removal of birth anniversary loopholes, benefits, advantages, and observances made. No more.
Statute II: The Law of Identity
Manipulating another citizen's mind, memories, or soul triggers immediate Severance. The resulting permanent scar emitting a persistent odor of sauerkraut and sweat alerts the Gendarme of Echoes.
Ⅲ. The Decree of Eternal “Nonextinction”
All weaves, incantations, and minor hexes shall be inscribed exclusively upon Papyrus or Birch Bark. Sheepskin is strictly forbidden as when burnt, smells of burnt hair and wet dog. Extremely undignified for any weave to be subjected to.
Notes & Addendums
First Offense: Time served is six months on the farm or two weeks in the public pit.
Second Offense: Offenders will serve one month in the public pit. And must attend thrice weekly lectures on proper horse care and extended warranties on your carriage.
Third offense: Permanent residency on Husbandry Farms, splitting time between the two working farms. (Weekends included. Every other holiday is still granted off.) Sentencing is left to the discretion of the Justice Gendarme on duty the day of sentencing. It's entirely arbitrary.
⚖️ The House of Pettiness: Douchebaggery Prohibitions
Prohibition IX: Aggravated Phonetic Dissonance & Assault:
Verbally assaulting someone with derogatory language for personal ego inflation or otherwise harmful intent is an affront to the Song and causes misalignment within the resonance of Atheria. Being a bully will not be tolerated. If narratively justified, a special dispensation can be obtained by filling out an application to petition to obtain form 4o1-C)
First Offense: The offender is subjected to the immediate confiscation of a single letter from their vocabulary.
Prohibition Clause V: The Hereditary Arrogance Amendment
Bypassing rules by posing the vocal query, 'Do you know who my father is?' is strictly barred. First offenses carry manual farm realignments; repeat offenses trigger complete, permanent paternal memory confiscation. If they are so proud of their father, the offender will learn to be his own invocation of wrath. Must also apologize to their mother for not invoking her wrath for once.
