Narfi Whitefinger's Moral Charter

Matrimony, childbearing

1. Those within the sacred confines of their baron's Haseti may only bear children with others within the same sacred confines.
2. Any individual under the law of Bailum shall seek his scribes before bearing a child, and allow them to document the conception.
3. Any individual, inside or outside the human law, shall be married by a priest of Bailum before bearing any children.
4. Binds of marriage shall not be broken by the death of a partner.

Worship

5. Before a meal and during prayer, rocks of salt are to be split and subsequently shared among all members of the prayer.
6. When praying to an idol of Bailum, the head is to be tapped no less than 3 times.
7. When praying to Bailum, one is to recognize his children at the end of the prayer
8. Bailum's duty is in his actions. One does not pray for Bailum for acts of service, but to praise his vision.

Duty of the Sveit Logr

9. Acts of personal violence, war, and deceit are acts of sin. Only if permitted by a priest of Bailum or a baron can these acts be considered permissible.
10. It is the responsibility of every individual to report and prevent crimes of their fellow sveit logr.
11. The sveit logr follow the word of their haseti above all else, regardless of contradiction with the law.
12. The sveit logr are to dedicate a portion of their resources to their haseti.

Historical Details

Public Reaction

The public was content with many of the laws set, as they were already expectations without words put to them yet. However, the marriage and child bearing laws were largely hated and worked to discredit Narfi's mental capacity to rule.

Legacy

These rules were generally maintained throughout history, with occasional revisions being made. For example, marriage can be overseen by a priest of any god throughout the isles. Laws of conception were removed entirely.
