Proclamation Of Martial Law

[Altiak 1648]

EDICTUM MARTIAL LEGEM

 

Following the Ducal War and the continuing state of insurrection and rebellion present in the lands of Vanaheim governed by the treacherous Vanirs and in accordance with the utmost desire to keep the peace within all Orenian territories, it is the command of His Grace Guy de Bar, Lord Chancellor and regent of Oren, that martial law be declared in the territories of Vanaheim. The region and its inhabitants are hereby placed under the jurisdiction of the crown directly, until a suitable governor is chosen.

 

In times of martial law it is the prerogative of the authorities to post edicts pertaining to the occupation and governance of the territories that have been placed under such a state. It is declared that all subjects of Vanaheim are to comply wholeheartedly and completely with the garrisoning force sent there by the Regent of Oren, Guy de Bar. This act has been put in place for the common safety of the citizens and to repress and halt any radicalist behaviour.

 

To those that have instigated such repercussions, the Crown says only this: lay down your arms and the clauses of clemency present within the Edictum Retributionem will be abided by; only the execution of your leaders shall take place. If the rogue and unlawful Duchy of Vanaheim chooses to instead resist this declaration made by the Orenic Crown then the lands of Vanaheim shall be laid to waste, the streets stained crimson with blood.

 

Signed,

 

His Grace, Guy de Bar, Lord Chancellor.

 

His Excellency, Augustus d’Amaury, Lord Marshal.
