Issued and Confirmed by His Royal Majesty,

Heinrik II

On this 12th of Jula and Piov, 383 E.S.

 


 

VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK,

 

To start off this Edict, the Crown must first thank the Voron Committee for their diligent work in their report on the state of the Royal Duma, and their subsequent cooperation with the formation of this Royal Edict. If not for their aid, it would not have been possible to have this Edict issued in such a swift and timely manner, and I greatly laud their efficiency.

 

It is the purpose of the Voron Edict to address all matters brought forth by the Voron Committee’s Report, and make appropriate amendments to the Haurul Caezk thereafter. It is the Crown’s sincere hope that this will ignite a new flame within the Royal Duma, one that has seemed to be quite lacking for the past few decades.

 

Without further ado, the Crown does proclaim that the following amendments shall be made to the Haurul Caezk:
