Issued and averred by the office of the
IMPERIAL CROWN
✠ I: MILITARY OCCUPATION
By virtue of the Emperor, let it be known to all: the Kingdom of Norland is no more–we have occupied the newly established Province of Norland, which shall now stand as a northern bastion of the imperial states. With the death of the most honourable warrior-king, a promise was brokered when a blade strung at his throat – clemency, and the protection of the Norlandic.
Despite the execution of the High King of Norland, Haakon Edvardsson Ruric, styled Haakon Konansson, he left behind a male progenitor to take claim of his throne: Haraldr Sigmar Haakonson.
The military occupation of the Imperial Province of Norland is considered a temporary affair until the heir is of age, in which he will be allowed to reclaim the throne. It is the role of this imperial tenure to ensure the Norlandic do not stray from their path again, and that the inheritor King is as virtuous as our glorious Emperor.
During the military occupation, imperial authority will prevail–a chosen few knights and imperial guardsmen will be sent to ensure the Emperor’s peace is maintained. Furthermore, the Imperial Office of the Archchancellory will be sending an Imperial Governor to rule in the stead of the King until he is of age. The role of the Imperial Governor is further described below.
After the military occupation, once Haraldr Sigmar Haakonsson comes of age, he will be known only as King of Norland. He will not claim the title of High King, and Haakon will be the last of this title.
Those who attempt to aid, abet, or partake in any sort of restorationist movement, rebellion, or anti-imperial propaganda will be dealt with an iron fist. Any and all Norlandic who defy the Emperor’s peace or attempt to harm the Imperial Governor, or any guardsmen, will be dealt with accordingly.
“And in times of war, young Hadrian, you must show your strength. You cannot falter,”
High King, Haakon Edvardsson Ruric.
✠ II: IMPERIAL LAW
Whilst occupied by the Empire of Man, the Lex Tiberi will take full effect and will be enforced, barring matters of faith. All guardsmen selected by the Imperial Governor, alongside the Lord Marshal of the Imperial Guard, will be expected to abide by this legislation and ensure it is properly followed whilst occupied. The Norlandic Code of Law is null.
Once again, at the conclusion of the military occupation, before departure, the Imperial Governor will aid in writing a new legislature for the anointed King of Norland to make sure humanity never strays from unity again.
Nonetheless, the Imperial Governor has been granted the rights to amend the usage of the Lex Tiberi within the Province of Norland to the benefit of the locality and the Empire, such as the punishment-tier and discretion on certain laws. This exception has been allowed to ensure a smooth transition into the imperial system and legislature during this military occupation.
“The law is precise,”
His Imperial Highness, Hadrian Tiberias of the House Horen.
✠ III: MODERATED FAITH
The Imperial Province of Norland is now temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Empire of Man until such time that the infant-king is of age to claim his throne. Whilst subject to the Emperor, the Red Faith shall be moderated by the guardsmen in places of worship within the Province of Norland.
Any and all Raevir who fled humanity to live amongst the Norlandic, now adopting the name of Karoslund, are expected to remain virtuous and faithful to the Lord GOD and the True Faith. A priest will be sent alongside the Imperial Governor to continue spreading the True Faith in the Province of Norland, and to aid in any conversions of godless-men and women, though this will not be forced.
“Quae fides praevalet? The faith of all men,”
His Imperial Majesty, Tiberias I, Emperor of Man.
✠ IV: THE IMPERIAL GOVERNOR - Markus Kruber
Markus Kruber will be appointed as the Imperial Governor and will be in charge of any and all directives within the Province of Norland. This writ grants him the right to command the imperial guardsmen and imperial knights who occupy the Province, to maintain the main legislative body of Norland, and to also aid in the leading of the government.
The Red Council is hereby officially dissolved, and any councillors are removed from their post. The Imperial Governor will be in charge of the recreation of the government body, to fit the empirical views of the Emperor, to ensure that there is stability in the Province of Norland, and to grant the infant-king advice and guidance for when he comes of age.
✷ Invested Powers
✢ To govern the Imperial Province of Norland.
✢ To command any and all guardsmen and knights sent to occupy the Province.

A writ of permission will only be provided to: the imperial guardsmen who assist in the military occupation, the imperial dragon knights who assist in military occupation, and any priests partaking in humanitarian aid and spreading of the faith.
Current: His Excellency, Sir Markus Kruber “the Emperor’s Justice”, Knight of the Imperial Order of the Red Dragon, Imperial Governor of Norland

The priest must be open-minded and willing to cooperate with a diverse culture, and must be willing to ensure that the Emperor’s peace is not breached.
