Laws and Regulations

	Gallain do not follow the Escheat of the Kithain. However, this is not to say they are unruly, the Inanimae for example follow the "Codex Primeval" which bears many similarities to the Escheat. Other Gallain follow their own set of laws.

1: The Escheat is to be followed at all times

2: There is a ban on all weapons of any kind. There is a weapons locker near the door, and is to be employed before entering the hold proper. Chimerical weapons are to be set in the box if they can't be peace-tied. Peace-tied weapons may not be drawn at any time inside the hold. In an emergency situation, the Representatives if possible, will handle the situation. If this is not possible, then force should be the LAST POSSIBLE conclusion for ejection from the hold.

3: Unlawful drugs are not to be used in the hold proper. This goes for underage (under wilderhood) drinking and use of tobacco related products as well. Whatever is done in the private rooms is private, but this is a communal home for many, including childlings, and to protect the right not to use. In the best interest of all, cigarette smoking is allowed, but please be conscientious of others and smoke in the designated areas (which is a good deal of the hold, the bar area included). Adequate ventilation will be installed for the comfort of all.

4: The Art of Sovereign is not to be used in the Freehold.

5: Reps reserve the right to temporarily banish someone for three days and three nights, or until met with council vote unless it is part-and-parcel with a Standard Punishment. A 2/3 [6 member] vote is needed for permanent banishment. Individual punishments can be issued by Kith Reps for their Kith.

	The kith Protector ideal was abolished from Firnost, after many years of Thanes and other forms of guardians. The most probable cause of this was the perception by the populace that they were nothing but a brute squad that would be used to bully the patrons into listening to the Reps. Despite this, it has been re-established, complete with uniform and badge. Perhaps it will work this time.

6: [Modified] Enchanted Prodigals and mortals must ask permission from the council to enter/stay in the hold. There must be at least one fae willing to take responsibility for the actions of the prodigal, and must bring the prodigal's wish to enter before the council. Prodigals and their sponsor may be ejected for lack of representation, ill intent, and use of powers, as well as disobeying any laws while in the hold. The sponsor must accompany the Prodigal in question. Kinain, however, do not require a sponsor to be present.

7: [Modified] There are no court positions save Parliament representatives. Protectors adhere to the following restrictions and requirements, and are chosen by the representative. [Added] Parliament shall not pass any law that transcends authority over, or violates the Escheat. The only exception shall be in the case wherein a permanent banishment shall transcend authority of Parliament's Right of Demesne over the Right of Safe Haven.

8: [Modified] Gallain and Thallain are to be allowed in, with discretion. Just as any member of the dream, they are subject to all laws. If they misbehave then they are banished. Period.

9: [Modified] In addition to Banishments, both temporary and permanent, the Parliament reserves the right to assign penalties for offences against Freehold Law on a case-by-case basis, within the limits of the Escheat. A group of Standard Punishments, which were once applied, have been REMOVED from the Firnost law-books. They may, however, be viewed here, if only for nostalgia.

10: [Added/Modified] Votes must pass by a two-thirds majority, and all cases are to be considered closed two weeks after their initial proposal. Any votes not in by this time are void, and the outcome of the vote will be calculated among those that did vote for the purposes of 2/3 majority.

11: [Added] As well as any punishment for a crime which a representative has perpetrated, the vote for the punishment must be met with a 2/3rds majority in which the accused representative cannot vote.

12: [Added] Chimera brought into the freehold must adhere to the Chimerical Companions Act.

13: [Added] The Garden is a part of the freehold yet it is a part of the dreaming as well. A good example of such are the trods running to and from the freehold. Therefore, these make up the boundaries with which to judge whether freehold or dreaming: The boundaries of Parliamentary rule in the Garden shall be known as from the freehold door to the front edge of the pond, front edge of the maze and front edge of the tree-line on the other side of the practice area - as beyond this are normally the trods, and the maze itself seems ever-changing. Sparring and Duelling within the Garden must follow These Laws.

14: [Added] Use of the Gift of Pan, being an essential part of the Satyr's being, shall be allowed within the confines of Firnost's Garden.

15: [Added] Public nudity shall be allowed within Firnost and the garden areas. However, any naked party is required to dress again if requested by any person or persons within Firnost. The Gardens shall remain clothing optional. However, public fornication, masturbation or lewdness are unacceptable and are subject to punishment.
