D. At Three Burgs

5. Festa said

14.09 This Festa has said:

All rules that endure for one ‘eaw’ — that is one hundred years — with the Bearer and his Wheel may, on the advice of the mother and by common consent, be written on the walls of the burgs. Once they have been written upon the walls, they are ‘eawa’: laws, and it is our duty to honor them. Should necessity or coercion come to give us rules in conflict with our laws and customs, then people must do as demanded. But when the troubles have passed, then one must always return to the old ways. That is Frya’s will, and so must it be of all her children.

Festa also said:

All things one wishes to undertake, whatever they may be, on the day that we have dedicated to Frya, shall always go awry.

Since time has proven that she was right, it has become a law that, absent necessity or coercion, on Frya’s Day, none may do otherwise than to celebrate joyful feasts.

[p.23 cont.] This Has Fasta Spoken.

All the regulations which have existed a century, that is, a hundred years, may by the advice of the Eeremoeder, with the consent of the community, be inscribed upon the walls of the citadel, and when inscribed on the walls they become laws, and it is our duty to respect them all. If by force or necessity any regulations should be imposed upon ne at variance with our laws and customs, we must submit; but should we be released, we must always return to our own again. That is Frya's will, and must be that of all her children.

[p.25] Fasta Said—

Anything that any man commences, whatever it may be, on the day appointed for Frya's worship shall eternally fail, for time has proved that she was right; and it is become a law that no man shall, except from absolute necessity, keep that day otherwise than as a joyful feast.
