VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK,

 

Vampyres have once more begun to infest the realms of man, embedding themselves into positions of power and preying upon the nobility and smallfolk alike. The Dual-Kingdom has not been spared from this plague. The execution of the former Lady Allessandra Amador remains fresh in our minds, and should serve as a cautionary tale to our people. They lurk among us, break bread at our tables, drink our Carrion, and take our names, yet by night they feed on the lifeblood of Haeseni.

 

We must be vigilant. This threat must be countered, eradicated before it results in further bloodshed and brutality. It is with this edict that We shall provide protection to Our subjects, and bring order to our struggle against the dark.

 

We do therefore proclaim the following:

 

On Testing

I. The Crown shall henceforth subject the following to vampyric testing:

a. Members of the Royal House of Barbanov.

b. Members of the Aulic Council.

c. The Peerage and their immediate families.

II. A public record containing the results of these tests shall be maintained by the Crown.

 

On Anti-Vampyric Armament

I. The Crown shall maintain a storefront in the square of Valdev to provide the smallfolk with the means to defend against darkspawn. At minimum, it shall offer the following:

a. Aurum-bladed daggers.

b. Purified salts.

c. Aurum shackles.

 

On Darkspawn

I. All darkspawn shall be provided a cure.

a. If the darkspawn is unable to be cured due to their condition, rejects the attempt, or has murdered another, then it shall be burnt at the pyre.

II. A child sired by a darkspawn father, or born to a darkspawn mother, shall in all cases be tested for corruption.

a. If the child is found to be corrupted, then an attempt shall be made to cure it.

b. The child shall be named a bastard, stripped of all claims and titles, and surrendered to the Holy Mother Church regardless of their condition.

i. If the child was born before either of their parents were a darkspawn, they shall be considered legitimate and shall not be surrendered to the Church.
