[Cracker 4570]

 

 

ACT OF DOMINION, 1548

Issued and Confirmed by His Imperial Majesty the Holy Orenian Emperor John II Sigismund, 16th of the Horen's Welcome, 1548.

 

I. PREAMBLE

 

• Whereas We have seen the ardour and loyalty of the elven people in Our Empire, who wish to unify and establish a cultural union for their elven peoples, We offer Our benedictions and congratulations to their great feat.
• Whereas We recognize such union beneficial and righteous to both the natural order and Empire, We do seek to see it upheld and maintained.
• In so we may establish greater freedoms to these elven peoples unified after nigh two centuries of discord, we afford them their status of Dominion and hold them as a protectorate to Our Empire.

 

II. DUE FREEDOMS

 

Upon their newfound status as a united country, we do hereby elevate the elven nation and afford King Tristin I of the House of Tresery as head of government of their Dominion. We name his crown legitimate as successor of Malin’s and hold him as righteous among the nations. Their country is afforded self-legislation and self-rule, upholding their own court of law and legal codes distinct from those of Imperial Law. We lift this Dominion of any and all taxation of tithe and enable them economic freedoms to negotiate interior trade as they please.

 

III. HONORS MAINTAINED

 

Upon their newfound status as Dominion and Protectorate,  We do expect to maintain and supervise common foreign policy upon this fledgling state. We maintain the elven peoples as equal subjects to Our own human populace and continue to recognize the noble lineage of the House Tresery, Camoryn, Des’nox, and Terin. We expect the Dominion to maintain the rights of elven monotheists and the Patriarch of the Elves. We invite any and all subjects of the Dominion to serve in Our councils and call King Tristin I to the role of Grand Viceroy upon the Imperial Privy. We uphold the titles ‘Suzerain of the Elves’ and ‘Protector of the Dominion of Malin’ in Our imperial styling and vow to defend the Dominion in case of war and conflict as is expected of the Dominion in turn.

 

IV. STIPULATIONS

 

We legislate this Act to be upheld in perpetuity with the exception of mutual compliance between the Crown and the Dominion.  

 

IN NOMINE DEI,

His Imperial Majesty John II Sigismund of the House of Horen, by the Grace of GOD, Holy Orenian Emperor and rightful Emperor of Aeldin, forever August, Apostolic King in Oren, of Savoy, Kaedrin, Haense, Renatus and Salvus, Defender of the Faith, Duke of the Crownlands, Kingston and Leone, Margrave of Greater Kreden, Count of Felsen, Louvain, Beauclair, Wett and Metz, Sovereign of Humanity, Suzerain of the Elves and Protector of the Dominion of Malin, etcetera.

 

 

 

His Royal Majesty Tristin of the Seed Tresery, Protector of the Aspect’s Balance, King over the Dominion of Malin, Rightful Ruler to the Aspect’s Chosen, Larihei’s Children and the Ashen-Folk, Protector of the Halflings, etcetera.
