The Talonnii Act

[Ankan 2875]

 

 

THE TALONNII ACT

as issued on the 9^th of The Amber Cold, 1717

 

 

Our bloodlines are sacred, for well over a century families both notable and nought have had their members and histories etched into the Bloodline Archive. Though for too long we have been blinded by egalitarianism in thinking all mali’aheral are superior when so few have acted to further the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. Thus, to record all the purity of each bloodline and afford special privileges to those who can prove their ancestor’s adherence to the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya, the Talonnii system is to be established.

 

 

 The Definition of a Talonnii:

 

[ I ]:   A Talonnii is an elder family of Haelun’or, having inhabited in the silver walls for at least twenty five years and/or had contributed significantly to the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya via leadership or service.

 

[ II ]:   A Talonnii must have proof of a completely unsullied line - the further back in history the better. The Talonnii must have a record in the Bloodline Archives.

 

[ III ]:   A Talonnii must have at least FOUR members who live and participate within Haelun’or. Exceptions may be granted by the Maheral for special cases.

 

[ IV ]:   A Talonnii must have a matriarch or patriarch, who shall serve as a laurir. This laurir is hereditary via absolute primogeniture and initially the eldest Mali’thill member of the family shall take on the role.

 

[ V ]:    A Talonnii must be created by edict of the Maheral, which must be recorded in the archives by the Okarir’maehr.

 

 

 The Privileges of a Talonnii:

 

[ I ]:   A Talonnii is given special consideration in housing, for their members are more numerous and have remained in the city longer. The most respected amongst the Talonnii shall be given manors, the largest housing available within Haelun’or.

 

[ II ]:   The Talonnii matriarch or patriarch will be granted a seat on elheial’lauriran, the Council of Nobles.

 

[ III ]:   A Talonnii member is allowed to advise on laws and reforms passed by The Silver Council of Haelun’or.

 

 

 The Destruction of a Talonnii:

 

[ I ]:   A Talonnii can be destroyed for the following reasons:

               [ A ]:   There are no members remaining of the family in Haelun’or.
               [ B ]:   A trial has been conducted proving the impurity of the bloodline.

 

[ II ]:   If any of the aforementioned reasons take place, the Maheral may destroy the Talonnii by edict, however it may be regranted by appeal.
