Ari Hightower lets out a small, quiet smile, reading the notice from within her manor, unable to leave due to her recent injuries. She makes a note to speak to the Emperor about providing low-cost farming lands to individuals of Oren on her land.

Thomas hears the declaration off of a town crier in Arethor. He smiles after hearing about all the education and extra rights people are getting in Oren. He is also pleased to hear that the bread price was limited. After hearing all the great news, he heads into the local inn and starts talking to his friends about how Oren's changed for the better, and how he thinks that the young blacksmith may have influenced Emperor Godfrey in making these changes.

He gets down from the scaffolds and approaches the courier, reading and smiles softly

"Tell my father I would like to speak to him very soon. I need to speak with him"

He sends the courier off and studies the decree with interest

Winter looks over the scroll, now measuring in an arm's length, all of the Emperor's word and all the legal texts that go with it. The elf let out a whistle and moves on down the road.

*Elene slowly approaches the declaration, skimming through it until she notices the part about embassys*

"Huh." She says, "I should speak to Head builder Chrix and Sythra about this...."

*Upon reading the declaration Silver Richards makes a mental not to speak to Emperor Godfrey I about diplomatic leader status and chuckles to himself about the bread prices thinking:

If it be one bread for 2 minas, 4 for 5, and 8 for 10... Well thank the Angeuls that I can still charge what I like fer a bundle!

((Lol socialism... it worked for Canada!))
