The Law of Rot is the foundational legal doctrine of Myrrun Hollow. Decrees are etched on bark, bone, or fungal plates and left to decay naturally; when a law crumbles away, its authority is considered ended.
Edicts that sprout lichen or new growth are taken as signs of favor from the Hollow itself and may be renewed or elevated. This system ties civic order directly to growth and decay, ensuring that no law outlives its usefulness and that every statute must be tended like a living thing.
