Imperial Lord June 17, 2008 - 1:05pm | Yazirians have two levels of government in their society: the actual government and then the rules and laws of their Clans. Soon the Brothers began to communicate with each other through messengers. Though they did not meet, they slowly began to formulate was has since been termed as Supreme Clan Law, which are basic principles by which Yazirians should behave. Amazingly, these conversations by proxy started to have an immediate effect, as the various warring Clans began to wait with baited breath on the counsels and declarations of these wise and holy prophets. The reptilian Yazirian mind, so long accustomed to bloodshed, so long marking feuds going back for generations, began to listen to these beams of hope shining down from 12 places. Upon completion of the Supreme Clan Law, the 12 Brothers finally met and began to tour all frontlines of the battlefields. Incredibly, they walked between trench lines and besieged city streets, braving certain death, grabbing weapons from soldiers and throwing them to the ground. Not a single shot was fired, so overwhelmed were the Yazirians by their acts of sheer courage. The Brothers tore insignia from generals and officers, disabled artillery pieces, ripped controls out of aircraft, and ordered all with them to do the same. Soldiers and officers genuflected and wept, begging forgiveness and mercy from the Holy Ones. The response that they recieved was simple, and, for once, devoid of symbolism or metaphor: "Will you accept the Supreme Clan Law?" All agreed, and when they did, they were required to shake the hands of their enemies immediately, which, though almost unbearable, all of the warriors agreed to do. (When a Yazirian shakes someone's hand, part of their soul goes to the hand that is being shaked. This is a formal invitation to Clan membership.) |
