BEGINNING to REBUILD the KNIGHTLY REPUBLIC

[Zaerie 3747]

 

– BEGINNING to REBUILD the

 KNIGHTLY REPUBLIC –

 

Issued and averred by

Her Majesty

Atstana de

Regne Petrère

99

Long has it been since Petra has been a true knightly republic, its institutions slowly fading away out of necessity and lack of upkeep. The Commonwealth has grown and changed with the tides or wars, decay, and change, and now it once again goes through another metamorphosis. It is by the will of the Queen, Catherine I, that upon the dissolution of the Regency, that the Commonwealth begins to work towards the rebuilding of a version of a Knightly Republic.

 

Catherine intends to build a state of amalgamations between different versions of the past Commonwealth, and her own new visions. With such, the Round Table shall hereby be reformed now that more Knights of the Petrine Laurel have been made. They shall now become the founders of a new stone in the history of the Petran river, and the people that live on its banks.

 

Therefore, to begin this rebuilding and change, four large changes shall be implemented.

 

 

The Sovereign Order of the Petrine Laurel shall be split into two Chapters. The Chapter of Brooks, being knights of a more symbolic and stately nature - those that legislate, write, and create; and the Chapter of Rapids, the more commonly seen Knights of chivalry and quests, that raise their sword and charge into battle for the protection and honour of the Commonwealth.

 

The Round Table shall be remade, being an advisory body to the Crown and the River Council, and above the Garmont Assembly. With this, Knights will no longer have an automatic seat on the Garmont. The Round Table shall have two main purposes, to advise the Crown on stately duties, and confirm treaties and other edicts that the Crown and River Council create, and to run the Sovereign Order as a Council with a voted-in Commander instead of one unquestionable leader.

 

Seven of the highest knights shall be granted governorship over the different regions of the Crownland, to protect and represent. They shall be the communication point between the vassals that inhabit the area, and the River Council and guard. They shall be responsible for ensuring that darkspawn, monsters, and other threats from Iblees are purged from the land, or to gather groups to aid in their defeat.

 

These Seven Governorships shall be as follows;

The Seat of Val De Lagne, the Capital Region. This is to be held by the current Knight Commander.

The Seat of Nortrebanc, the region around Hohkmat. This is to be held by a knight with connection to the Mages of Hohkmat.

The Seat of the Mardonlands, the Eastern region around the river cave.

The Seat of Mount Catrinne, the region surrounding the Memory tree and its mountain.

The Seat of Solland, the area directly South of the Capital and Mount Catrinne.

The Seat of Renilcia, the Southernmost region bordering the Capital of Numendil.

The Seat of Seviel, the South-Eastern corner of the Petran claim, into the Birch forest.

 

The Seat of Seviel and Renilcia are to remain in abeyance until the regions are properly settled by the crown of the Petra.

 

 

Finally, the Knights of the Petrine Laurel shall be granted the right to try and condemn criminals should it be required. They must follow the caught-in-the-act laws that the officers of the City Watch are held to, where they can only bypass trial should the criminal have committed the crime without a doubt. Otherwise, a trial must be scheduled and held.

Her Majesty, Catherine I, Queen of the Commonwealth of the Petra, Marquise de Val d’Estenou, Countess of Temesch and Moere, Baroness of Garmont, Valfleur, Vallagne-en-Petra, Artois, and of the Phoenixspire, Protector of the Meadows, Protector of Dogs, Maker of Maps

“The return of the infamous Round Table!” Renilde chuckled, remembering many desperate attempts by random people to be on such an exclusive council.

Gob Ztabba-Zniffa cheers, somewhat grasping the concept "Tiz whi mi lub da Kub-Rex! Izi underzand da lil'peepul! Mi will bi da Metal-Mahn, Nub! da Metal-Goblin o' da wheel!" the green terror screams before going to find another knight to bother and try take him as their 'Squirrel'.

Esteemed round table resident and long time dead man Valentin Mareno stares down upon Petra from his fluffy white cloud in the seven skies.

"Paul grab me a beer they're back at it again. No, no, there is no order of the eagle this time!"
