Monsters: The Laws of the First Covenant of Beasts

Most monsters generally are semi-autonomous but, because of the Dark Days, generally all follow some basic rules. These rules were penned down at the end of the Dark Days by the first Covenant of Beasts, and read as follows.

• Keep the flock placid and walk among them as a wolf in sheeps clothing less the days darken. In other words: when among Normals do your best to hide your Monsterous nature.
  
• Tread where you may with one you are not at war with, but keep in mind the Lord of the Land and respect him always. Many Monsters have a claim to a Territory and rule it. If you are in the Territory under the claim of another Monster you are not actively fighting with he must allow you to be there. However you must abide by his rules and wishes, and not disrespect his Territory.
• A wolf who eats all his food with no den to sleep in soon finds himself surrounded by hungry wolves. This is generally considered to be an edict on keeping the monster population in a given area low in order to keep both available prey plentiful as well as to keep Normals from discovering the Monsters.
• Put down the rabid Beast. It has forgotten what it like to be Normal, and threatens all around it. This is the edict to destroy any Monster who becomes a Nasty or greatly causes problems among the human flock.
