Let it be known that We, Fernando and Ianthe, King and Queen
of the Eastern Kingdom, do hereby grant Our permission and approval for the
formation of a Kingdom-wide Soothsayers’ Guild, the purpose of said Guild being
to encourage the study and practice of all Medieval forms of divination.
The Guild members shall share their knowledge of the history
of various forms of saying Sooth and offer all other Guild members the service
of teaching whatever forms of this Art in which they have sufficient
mastery. Further, the Guild shall have
in its possession a library of books dealing with the arts of sooth-saying
which shall be open to all Guild members. Guild members shall also agree to abide by a code of Ethics,
to wit: that no member shall within the Guild or publicly encourage or in other
wise impose upon the attentions of any other members of the Kingdom any
religious or occult beliefs or practices that they may personally hold and may
or may not consider related to their saying of sooths; that no Guild member
shall practice their Art for fighters before a Tourney or War on in any other
wise make predictions that can affect a fighter’s confidence and thereby
unfairly influence his performance; that no Guild member shall lie about the
portents they see through the practice of their Arts, but if they deem it wise
to hide the hidden truths which they see, refuse to give a reading at all in
certain areas under question. The skills and talents of Guild members in the Arts of Soothsaying
shall be at the service of the Crown, should Their Graces desire them and
provided it is convenient to the guild members Therefore, to the purpose of establishing this Soothsayers’
Guild as an official Kingdom-wide Guild in the Eastern Kingdom of the Society
for Creative Anachronism, Inc. we sign this charter.
