LAWS
GOVERNING CASTLEMERE
The laws which govern our shire are those in the Corpora, the
regional laws, and the shire laws. No regional or shire law can contravene those of the
corpora, and should any law doing so be passed, it will immediately become null and void.
THE CASTLEMERE GUARD
The Castlemere Guard is the honor guard for visiting
personages, the seneschal, and the backbone of the Castlemere militia. Anyone wishing to
become a member is screened by the Captain of the Guard and Bisilleous Angelicus is the
Captain of the Guard.
The Castlemere
Guard are the ones who are authorized to wear the green tabard or surcoat with the single
white castle in the center of the chest. Membership is limited to those who are level-headed
and desire responsibly.
