Rules of the Vyusher R'asa

Holding Court
The Sarkis or the Savia will make themselves available at regular intervals to hear grievances and exact justice for the good of the pack, as well as to announce current internal events. If you seek justice in a matter that cannot be resolved by more localized leadership within the Kumpania, you should appeal to the Jiro, Thanos, who will decide how best to proceed.

You are subject to the discretion of the Alphas in all matters of justice. We pride ourselves on an orderly society with high standards of family, loyalty, and discipline, and those that would go against these ideals will not be tolerated.

Family
The first step in having respect for your family is having respect for yourself. Therefore, we do not look kindly on self neglect. You will not starve yourself in a misguided attempt to protect life. You will not commit negligent substance abuse. If you are found to be engaging in such behaviors every attempt will be made to rehabilitate you by the methods we see fit for the given situation.

We rest the goals of the pack and our dreams of the future on the slight shoulders of our children, and thus they must be protected at all costs. Sadly, there are times when the worst dangers to children come from there own parents or siblings. This is completely unacceptable. If you cannot properly care for your children, avoiding all forms of abuse, your children will be taken into pack custody while your fate, depending on the severity of the crime, is decided, and part of your punishment will likely include the permanent separation from your children.

By extension, you will of course do no harm to children not your own. Neither will you interfere with the upbringing of children not your own, except in cases where abuse is suspected, in which case you are required to contact the proper pack authorities.
Part of raising children into our ideals means Gifting them at an appropriate age. Normally this is at seven years, though your leadership has the final say in the timing. Refusal to Gift your kin is considered treason.

Whether arranged or matched, by the old ways or the new, marriage is a sacred vow to our pack and instrumental to our success. While the wolf will do as the wolf will do, your human self will uphold your vows to the utmost. The responsibility lies primarily with those who have chosen to marry and have a family but anyone who attempts to interfere with an established marriage will also be held accountable.

Loyalty
This pack is an idea. Betrayal of that idea is an infidelity of the highest order. It is, however, important to understand what loyalty is, and what it isn’t. We must cultivate an environment that is conducive to mutual respect and improvement, growing out from our disciplined foundation.

Conspiracy is unacceptable. You may have ideas on how to make the pack a better place for us all, and are free to share them openly, but you will not conspire behind closed doors to enact new policy or deviate from the established rules and decisions of the Alphas.

Slander against your pack will not be tolerated. Nor will you take internal pack issues outside of the pack. You will not share pack secrets with outsiders.

Abandoning your pack is unacceptable; desertion is a high crime. You will show your face when summoned and do as your pack requires of you.

Sabotage should not even be plotted, much less carried out.

Discipline
Discipline for the pack is about teaching and respect. Self respect, familial respect, respect for your pack.

Those in the pack who have earned titles deserve to be addressed by them.

Orders from the Alphas and their representatives are to be obeyed in a timely manner without question.

You are to respect the property of your pack mates.

You will not embarrass the pack. You will not engage in activities unbecoming to a member of the pack.

High Crimes
The following are considered the most heinous of crimes and may be punishable by death. We have no tolerance for these behaviors and will eliminate them with extreme prejudice.

Treason
Desertion
Domestic Violence
Failure to comply
