View source for Charter

A '''charter''' is a document or a set of documents that outline the [[rule]]s, ordinances and [[custom]]s of a [[group]].

Depending upon the group, charters can widely vary from a very loose set of guidelines to hard and fast rules that are stringently enforced.

Charters in the [[SCA]] are usually drawn up when a group is formed and is ratified either by the group, the local [[Baron]]age or by the [[Royalty]] of the [[Kingdom]] the group participates in.
