Charter of The Isle of the Black Moon

We the inhabitants of the Isle of the Black Moon, have banned together to create a community where likeminded recreationists have a place where they can discuss the ancient Celtic ways and those of the tribes that have branched off from the Celtic line. Any person who enjoys the study of ancient cultures is welcome within our shores. This charter shall set the standards, but shall not limit the rights of all inhabitants of the Isle.

Leadership

The Isle is governed by a Lord, who has proven himself worthy of having the strength and wisdom to lead the Isle. It is the duty of the Lord to oversee all general management of the Isle. The Lord has the final say over any matter concerning the people of the Isle. When needed, he will seek out the guidance of the council of elders to help make a decision as the Lord see fit. A council of elders will be formed as needed, where heads of each household and respected members of the community will be asked to join, the council will assist the Lord in any way they can to insure the peace, heath, and prosperity of the people. If a member of the Isle has a major concern, they may address their head of house, the council, and or the Lord to voice their opinion on the matter. It is also the duty of the Lord to represent the Isle in the House of Lords and see to matters within the Empire that shall be beneficial to the Isle.

Rights to challenge for Leadership; if a worthy challenger has enough support within the people of the Isle, he or she can challenge for leadership. The challenger must show he has enough support within the Isle to merit a claim, and propose a date of no sooner than 30 days for the challenge. The challenge will be held in accord with ancient clan laws, weapons only. This challenge has been proven to show the strength, wisdom, and stamina need to complete any task that a leader would need to perform for their people.
Temporary or Permanent replacement; If the Lord is unable to perform their duty or decides to step down, then the Council of Elder will be held to choose a worthy replacement for the Lord. In most cases this would be a temporary replacement, but could be permanent in certain situations.

Membership

Membership to the Isle; those seeking to join the Isle of the Black Moon outside of 3 days walk must contact the Lord of the Isle to set up a meeting. They must have or be willing to establish a membership in EMP. It is recommended that one should seek to join a Household, Tribe, or Clan on the Isle, but if one wishes to play a hermit or such, then we shall respect that wish. If one wishes to play the role of an outcast, then they will be shipped off to Ireland to join the rest of the outcast of the Celtic nation.
Households within the Isle; Those seeking to establish a household within the Isle of the Black Moon must contact the Lord of the Isle to set up a meeting. They must state what they'd like to accomplish and what type of household they are establishing. A household must have 2 or more active EMP members; each household has the right to self-govern and work towards the betterment of themselves and the Isle. Differences or disputes between households should immediately be brought to the attention of the Lord so the matter can be handled quickly without it getting out of hand.
Those seeking to join a household within the Isle must seek out the head of that household to make arrangements with them.

Individuals within the Isle; each person has unique abilities that will better the whole. From defending our shore, to helping out at events, to many other duties that will help the Isle. From within the group you will probably find help exploring any activity you’d like, if not we will help you find members within the Empire that can.
