Royal Edict for the Preservation of the Kingswood of Aran-în-Eryn

---

It has been a matter of late that repeated acts of poaching, vandalism, and illegal logging have occurred within the forest of Aran-în-Eryn, known commonly as the Kingswood. Because of this, it has been deemed as necessary by the Royal House to establish greater protections on that territory beyond the bounds of the Outer Númenaranyë.

 

HENCEFORTH Any and all logging that takes place within Aran-în-Eryn needs to be approved by either the Royal Castellan, or the Warden of the Kingswood, once the office is established with the construction of the Fiefdom of Caledras. Should any illegal logging occur, it shall be regarded by the law as theft from the royal house, and offenders will be punished with a joint taken from the first four fingers (excluding the thumb) for a first offense. Any further offenses will be punished with the severing of the entire hand.

 

FURTHERMORE Any vandalism upon the two subspecies of white-barked trees known as the Cirdalas and the Heart-Tree shall be punished, appropriately with death due to the rarity of these trees, and the held belief of their cultural and spiritual significance.

 

FINALLY It is to be impressed once more that poaching is, in fact, illegal, and will be regarded as theft or, in the case of those poachers who have taken up arms against the Royal Guard, treason. However in a show of mercy, it is henceforth declared that any poachers who remain in Aran-în-Eryn shall be forgiven should they yield themselves and their ill-gotten-gains to royal custody, and undergo a penance in service of the Church.

A Mali'ame that passed through on occasion would read the missive, smiling proudly. Most pleased that this Woodland got the protection it needs and deserves.
