According to legend the U.T. Grotto does have a constitution Once upon a time (the mid 70's), the N.S.S. sent out word throughout the land requesting constitutions from all the kingdoms (N.S.S. affiliated grottos) and a copy was magically produced as if out of thin air. Grotto lore says that the N.S.S copy is the only one in existence as the others have been lost to time, but some believe that the grand wizard (Gil Edigar) has a copy stashed away somewhere.
