Decree of the High Keeper, 6 SA

[AstriaS 3709]

---

Order of the High Keeper

On the General Proscription of Magical Practices

Issued in the Year 6 of the Second Age

---

 

It has been brought to the attention of the High Keeper that, within the space of less than half of the past Elven day, there were reported no less than three violations of the strictures of the Red Law as it pertains to sorcery. In light of this, the decision has been made to further tighten our restrictions against such practices. By command of the High Keeper Alisa Camian, the following is decreed as a matter of law:

 

    I.  The existing proscriptions against the arcane shall be tightened. Any and all practitioners of forbidden arts described in the Red Law are to be, upon discovery, removed immediately from Norland. Additionally, these restrictions are to be extended to tolerated practices in such cases as the use of said practices disrupts the public order. Without explicit, documented permission from either the King, High Keeper or Marshal, use of any tolerated practice will be considered unlawful. Severity of punishment is to be determined by the presiding Keeper or legal authority.

 

   II.  The Northguard, in cooperation with the Keepers of the Hearth, shall establish a record of all instances of sorcery, past and future, as well as the identities of those involved.

 

Furthermore, it is hereby ordered that the Northguard, in cooperation with the clergy, will conduct investigations into the presence of and preparedness against the arcane in the Capital City of Varhelm, the Gorundyr Hold of Hethnar, the County of Elysium, and the County of Leumont.

 

By Order of

High Keeper Alisa Camian

Vykk shakes his head "Ridiculous that we have to clarify this point." he sighs deeply before muttering to himself "You think everyone would know by now, magic is illegal in Norland..."
