The Harigga of the Tuchuks
LAWS OF MEN
1. All Free Men of the Tuchuk Tribe are Warriors.
2. Tribe free men are to act with honor and respect at all times.
3. Rank among Warriors is earned. Warriors will salute the highest-ranking commander present at all times. Saluting will be accomplished in the following manner:
Or - "Commander of 10" - Strike your lance against your shield once.
Orlu - "Commander of 100" - Strike your lance against your shield twice.
Oralu - "Commander of 1000" - Strike your lance against your shield three times.
4. Failure to salute is an indication of disrespect, a warrior is never disrespectful of his superiors. Punishment for disrespect will be ruled by a commander of the next highest rank and will be as follows:
Or:
1st offense, 5 lashes; 2nd offense, 10 lashes; 3rd offense, Ubar's decision, more lashes or banishment.
Orlu:
1st offense, 10 lashes; 2nd offense, 20 lashes; 3rd offense, Ubar's decision, more lashes or banishment.
Oralu:
1st offense, 20 lashes; 2nd offense, Ubar's decision, banishment or death.
The Ubar:
1st offense, banishment or death.
((**NOTE**))
((This rule is more often only enforced during times of war or high alert. Failure to salute while sitting around the Central Fires or during other relaxed times is most always overlooked.))
5. There will be no fighting or petty quarrels between warriors. Friendly spars and non-lethal Honor Matches only may be fought between Warriors. Tuchuk will not kill Tuchuk. This holds true at all times, unless sanctioned by the Ubar. The only exception to this is the "The Guardian", Commander of the Ubar's Personal Guard, has the right to kill anyone (even Tuchuk) if that member poses a direct threat to the Ubar's life, Ubara's life, or the life of any of their children whom are under 15 and are non-scarred or non-pierced.
6. A man who has not earned the courage scar is considered an object of ridicule and derision among the Tuchuks. He cannot, in fact, be considered a member of the Warrior brotherhood of the Tribe.
7. A man who has not yet won the courage scar cannot compete in the contests of Love War.
8. One who does not wear the courage scar cannot pay court to a Free Woman, own a wagon, or own more than three bosk and one kaiila.
9. A Warrior of the tribe may not collar a free woman for any reason unless sentenced to such by the Ubar.
10. The Clan of Torturers are still Warriors of the Tuchuk tribe. Their laws are their own and different from those of just the normal Warriors. Those laws are kept by the Head of the Clan of Torturers. If you need those laws, you will already have them for you will be of the Clan.
