Mileth Town Charter

I. BASIC RIGHTS All citizens and visitors of Mileth, have the right to be protected from harm; this includes injuries of physical, emotional, and psychological natures. They have the right to fairness in trade and freedom of religion so long as it does not interfere with the rights of protection and fairness. All laws passed must respect these rights.

II. CITIZENSHIP Any aisling who meets one or more of these criteria shall be ineligible to be admitted as Citizen of Mileth: ~ Three or less criminal marks where the most recent mark is less than 1 Deoch old. ~ More than three criminal marks. ~ A Sgath scar.

If a Mileth Citizen has a Sgath scar or more than 3 Criminal Marks they will be banished from Mileth. Anyone else may be granted citizenship at the discretion of an appropriate official. Admitting a citizen that is not eligible shall be considered a procedural error. A citizen who attains citizenship illegally shall be banished from Mileth. III. CRIMINAL MARKS Criminal marks are marks given by officials, but not limited to: sgath scars, exiles, barments, Hwarone criminal marks and Ranger arrests. For the purpose of this law, these are active marks on the legend and do not include marks that were previously removed. If the date of a criminal mark is unknown either because there is no memory of original documentation or the mark is not dated, the date will be determined by the closest mark below the criminal mark which is dated after the mark immediately above the criminal mark. Should an aisling's criminal mark date come into question, the mundanes are to be requested to verify the date the aisling was jailed. Aislings with two or fewer criminal marks may be allowed to take Mileth office, but must observe the following waiting periods without receiving another criminal mark:
