It is said that Redwick and his dear friends back in Snowbourn once lived on a set of 'Lagu' they held amongst each other and held dear to themselves. It was the 'Lagu'(Laws) that made their time together both fun and interesting whilst maintaining certain boundaries. Other than by those lagu they obeyed little other rules, yet they still held high their honour within their deeds. They truly were no bad folk of any kind, most would believe them to be mere troublemakers, others found amusement in their behaviour for oft they would be drunk and sing what ever lyrics would come to mind. At times they would perhaps say aught that may sound like mockery, but little harm or offense was ever meant.
Here is a set of their unwritten'Lagu':
- Never pursue another man's lass.
- The last pint should always be shared evenly.
- Never kiss another man's lass, save for on the forehead or cheek, anywhither where it would not be deemed as passing a boundry.
- Always drink to a toast.
- Be truthful to one another.(They were not always very truthful to others...)
- No 'low-shots' in a brawl.
- No uncouth touching in a brawl.
- You may glance at another man's lass, but you may not stare.
- Never steal from one another.
- Always keep a seat for one another at the tavern.
- Do not lie with the same lass that another was with atleast a till a month has past since their separation.
- Do not flirt with another man's lass.
- Do not pursue the same lass as another had his eye on ere you did.
There were often times when there would be two who had their eye on the same woman, coincidently at the same time. This was settled fairly in any decided competition after they both had aknowledged that they both have an eye for the lass.
- Fair is fair, no excused when you have lost a bet.
- When we are all called to feast within the Mead Hall: Drink till you can no longer stand, no exceptions. Make the most of free mead.
There were indeed times when the Lagu was disobeyed, but they held their held them dear and accepted any given punishment. Some punishments were greater than others, and many would be dealt with most regards to the amusement of the rest of the lads. Such as making a public mockery of the one who had disobeyed the Lagu, however others were taken more seriously and punishment was heavier, yet their bounds of friendship ever remained as strong as it had been. For they knew that it was merely the consequences of their own actions and it would be not be right to them if they were not to accept these consequences.
