THE BESTOWAL OF THE HEXER KEEP, 1858

19th of The Grand Harvest 1858

 

---

The Prince of Savoy sees fit to fulfill the promises of his forefathers by honoring a debt owed to the Creed known as the Hexers. After decades of protecting the Savoyard realms from the desert-dwelling beasts that reside in its surrounding area, the Hexers are to be given land with a keep to be built upon it with the partial fiscal aid of the crown. The specifications of the arrangement are as follows:

 

I. The Hexers will maintain the right to ownership of their given lands beneath Lucien I and his descendants without challenge.

         A. The expense to construct the keep will be partially funded by His Serene Highness.

          B. The Hexer Creed and its constituents will be afforded full independence in managing and facilitating their keep and its surrounding areas.

II. The Hexers will be expected to protect the Savoyard realms from beastial, unnatural, paranormal, and otherwise abnormal threats for the duration of their residency within the keep in return for pay through established contracts.

          A. The killing of proven humanoid beasts such as vampyrs and ghosts within Savoy’s borders will not be considered a criminal offense.

          B. The Hexers will be afforded authority in the facilitation and management of extranatural or bestial affairs threatening Savoy or its vassal realms in the form of contract or calling with the bestowment of coin.

III. The Hexers will not raise arms against the Prince and his subjects, nor will the Prince raise arms against the Hexers in turn.

"A debt owed must be paid," Edmond remarked as his gaze settled upon the carefully inscribed parchment.
