I. Martial Law

During times of crisis, Martial Law may be declared by a majority of Mileth 
officials in Temuair at the time of crisis - provided one of them is a 
Demagogue or Burgess and another a Captain or a Judge. Once approved, 
Martial Law becomes immediately in effect and a Demagogue or Burgess shall 
post it on all the boards within Mileth's jurisdiction.

A. Declaration

   1) It is required of the legislative branch to inform all other members 
      of the legislature who are not present, that Martial Law has been 
      declared. Legislative officials must post a message on all of the
      Mileth boards stating that Martial Law is in effect. Once 
      Martial Law is lifted, a demagogue or burgess is to promptly 
      remove all posted notices from the Mileth boards.
      
   2) It is required of all Captains to inform their Guards that 
      Martial Law has been declared and that Guards are to enforce and 
      regulate Mileth Law and Martial Law as accorded.
      
   3) For the first eight days ((24 hours)) of Martial Law, it is
      required to have at least one Guard placed at the inn and at 
      Mileth Village Way to announce that Martial Law is in effect. 
      Other officials, including RC's may act in lieu should there 
      be a shortage of Guards.
      
   4) All Aislings will be held accountable for their actions and can be 
      dealt with according to the terms of Martial Law, whether or
      not they state that they knew Martial Law was in effect or not.

B. Punishment During Martial Law
Instant banishment shall result in all those inciting riots, aiding the 
current crisis, or hindering the efforts of officials. Guards will not be 
required to immediately make a formal report on any banishments resulting 
from Martial Law. Before they retire they should post a record of 
banishments and brief descriptions of each. 

C. Temporary Laws

Mileth Demagogues and Burgesses may enact temporary laws relating to the 
crisis at hand. The waiting period is waved and the temporary laws may be 
passed by a majority vote in favor of the law. These laws should be posted 
on the law board and on all other Mileth boards. 

D. Ending Martial Law

Martial Law will be ended with a majority vote of officials in Temuair at 
the time of voting or if the crisis that triggered Martial Law has ended. 
The declaration of Martial Law and any laws going with it will be removed 
from all boards.
