  • "mate·lotage" def: which, as any Scruffian of the Seas should know, is the bonding or ("gay" marriage) of two mateys, as practiced by those of the piratical occupation, or any other sailor folk. Where  (in most cases) some young sailor is game of the older buddy (mate). A law, where his  the stash of rum, loot and other private possessions (lotage) we're not going to become the captains simply because one of the two by unfortunate happenstance died during a long sea voyage. But then these possession pass to the shipmate's buddy. As much as we find ourselves in an era with rules against such things, mate·lotage was a way to ensure the captain (or any other crew member) did not get possession of these goods, other then the mate chosen. This bonding might have been a platonic relationship or a homo·erotic one, none the less, it was a form of inheritance law. The Templar Kingdom respects such none family oriented form of inheritance as legal binding, if they were made with two legal witnesses present. Modern Mate·lotage does not have to be between ship mates, this can now also be between good (gay) friends.
