All-Moot
A legislature with no hall, no roll, no seal, and therefore no convenient target.
The Fractured North's annual midsummer assembly settles feuds, oil, passage, bells and Strasbourg's patience from a field that moves every year. The Bureau files it as customary. The North files nothing.
Codex Ref. IX.8.01-002
Clan Moot
The writ is still in a boat. The moot is in the room.
The Fractured North's local assemblies bind households by kinship, oath and winter necessity. They allocate oil, elect Watch Captains and decide which lamps remain lit. Strasbourg recognises no sovereign authority in them; its oil arrives by their leave.
Codex Ref. XI.8.01-001
Clan Moot of Hrafnvik
Strasbourg holds the deed to the fjord. The Moot holds the oil.
Hrafnvik's unchartered compact of longhouse elders controls render schedules, communal lamp-aid and the narrows chain. Strasbourg holds the deed; the Moot decides which households stay warm.
Codex Ref. XI.8.01-002
Dark-House Circle
One stroke of ink costs a household its winter
Hrafnvik's Dark-House Circle keeps condemned households warm with stolen shrine wicks, hidden seal-oil, and silent routes. Drax observed it in A.S. 197 and declined to furnish the names.
Codex Ref. XII.8.01-197
Elder Sigrun Half-Wick
The woman who taught southern paper to burn poorly and oil to obey
Elder Sigrun Half-Wick is Hrafnvik's indispensable irregularity: oil-allocator, wick-cutter, clan elder, and the woman winter obeys before paper.
Codex Ref. III.2.01-201
Norway
The map belongs to Strasbourg; the narrows belong to the clans
Norway's fjord compacts supply the Synod's northern war while keeping their own chains, watches and fasts. A.S. 201 assessment: the oil arrives; authority remains local.
Codex Ref. II.8.01-001
Rauk One-Eye
The man who listens to fog and refuses to explain survival
Rauk One-Eye holds Hrafnvik's narrows with bells, rope, silence, and the offensive northern habit of being right before Strasbourg has finished asking.
Codex Ref. III.2.01-201
The Winter Watch
Ring first, explain never, and keep the road alive until thaw
The Winter Watch is the Fractured North's armed obligation: elected captains, cliff-bells, route marks, lamp-oil debts, and the old silence by which settlements survive what Strasbourg cannot command.
