  1. The Departure -+-+-+- Jose Fuentes looked out onto the horizon from his peak in La Dorada. His eyes seemed dull and bland, as though the light in his soul had gone dark with the world. He moved from the roof, each step a thud as he got to the ladder. “What’s the point?” He had killed his best friend, a mentor from the time he was a boy, all over political agenda. He had been missing from the public eye for years, not daring to show his face to the public and family he knew hated him. Not even Ramona dared look him in the eye, even after defending her and the now-deceased King of Haense. Jose seemed distraught as he ordered a servant to ready his possessions to depart. “Adios, mi gente.” A teary eyed stare came from the carriage as it left the Golden City, the man inside not ready to hold himself to the standard he once was. Though if he were called upon, he was ready to serve once more. As was, The Oath of the Patriot. -+-+- A MISSIVE FROM THE HOUSE OF FUENTES As of 95 D.d.R, Ser Jose Fuentes, the Margrave of Corocoa has been declared officially missing. Any information regarding the Margrave is to be reported directly to Hyspian authorities as he has been declared mentally insane after allegations of kinslaying were levied against him. -+-+- [!] The following was attached to the public missive inside of Hyspia! -+-+- To the people of Hyspia inquiring about my voluntary exile, I apologize. Over the past decade I have been thinking a lot about how I will be remembered in history. The legacy of the Patriot lineage is one of hatred and betrayal, yet never of Oath Breaking. I upheld all my oaths and will continue to do such when called upon once more, as my father and grandfather did before me. As my father had inherited my grandfathers, I now also inherit their oaths. Treble was the Patriot of Oren, Antonio “Alto” was the Patriot of Sedan, and now I have been the Patriot of Hyspia. Whenever these oaths are called upon, know that I will answer as my forefathers once did. For that is our oath. -+-+- [!] The following letter would be addressed and known to only Ramona de Pelear!

  4. HYSPIAN COMING-OF-AGE TRADITIONS Quinceañera and El Puente La Corte de Girasol The 15th of Javier’s Justice, 95 D.R. With the new generation of Hyspia, and our recent rise to a Sovereign state, the question has risen as to the coming-of-age traditions of our culture. As is with each generation, new traditions come to be - but this following missive is written to denote the traditions old and new to allow for a better understanding of the Hyspian people and culture alike. HYSPIAN QUINCEAÑERA [!] An image of a Hyspian woman dancing at her Quinceañera When an individual turns fifteen within Hyspia, they are to undergo coming-of-age traditions. A well-known one is the Quinceañera, which is held upon the coming of age of a child into adulthood within Hyspias culture. Traditionally, when the party is decided upon and held, invitations specify a few things. Such as, the forbidden color. A color will be listed, that only the one coming of age may wear and who they specify - and all else are forbidden from wearing that color. In the Sovereign family, that color forbidden commonly is the color blue. A theme is picked, anywhere from the ‘Hyspian Sun’ to ‘Orange Blossoms’ - but is left up to the one hosting the event. For most, the event will take place over the span of a Saint’s day - while those of royal lineage may have one that lasts up to three Saint’s days, including that of the traditional bull fight a royal must take part in for their coming of age. Each Quinceañera can vary greatly, but one item that stays unchanging throughout them all is the pinata. It is a vibrantly colored, reinforced bag that dangles from high up above - and must be broken with a pinata stick or bat. It is known to cause a tinge of chaos with the difficulty of breaking it down, but once broken, a spray of candy and trinkets come everywhere. It is during the Quinceañera that the individual can be presented with pearls, it could be a pearl necklace, bracelet or otherwise - the meaning of such is to declare one’s love and intentions to court them. A recent tradition to take place is a Quinceañera hosted by the royal family, for those less fortunate to have the means of which to host one of their own. This is covered entirely by the royal household, to provide an avenue for all within Hyspia to take part in the coming-of-age traditions. EL PUENTE FESTIVAL [!] A painting of a Hyspian man and woman enjoying El Puente. El Puente is a festival centred around celebrating the connections that are held between the people of Hyspia. During such a festival, events will take place in order to strengthen the bonds between the people of Hyspia, and encourage new ones to be formed. The Cantuta flower will also be central to El Puente, as the Cantuta symbolises the harmonious coexistence of the diverse cultures within Hyspia. [!] A depiction of the Cantuta Flower. During El Puente, the Sovereignty of Hyspia will host three annual events which will be accompanied by events hosted by Hyspia’s respective noble families. The three events will be a Grand Ball hosted by the Sovereign and Sovereign-Consort, and a Night Market promoting Hyspian goods and services, which will then be followed by a Fireworks Display. En El Nombre De Dios HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, Dimitri Otto of Koravia, Soberano-Consort of Hyspia, Duke-Consort of Pacazu, Baron-Consort of Arenisca and Del’mar, Lord of Ladorada, Lord of Niseep, Gereon's Hold, and Ciudad de Plata, Gran Maestre of El Orden de Francisco, Protector of the Hyspian People, Protector of the Farfolk HER HIGHNESS, Renata Alba de Pelear, Infanta of Hyspia

  8. On the 14th of Francisco’s Resolve, 92 The Loss of a Mother It has been a year since the passing of Annika Denodado; A beloved mother, viscountess, and friend to all in Hyspia. After a year of mourning, House Denodado shall be hosting a funeral to properly put her to rest, and allow closure for all who knew Annika. Throughout her life, Annika has been a source of compassion to all that knew her. In her early life, she was the woman that gave the Brotherhood of Saint Karl the courage they needed to continue the fight against the mori, even against all odds. She saw the good in all, including those of the horde. She would befriend anyone and everyone that met her, and not a single bad thing could be said about the compassionate Viscountess. In her later years, Annika became known throughout Hyspia as a mother to all, a friend to outsiders, and someone that would help anyone through anything. To her, there was nothing too little that could be done for someone, and she would always go out of her way to make sure that others were having a better time than they were the day before. To her children and grandchildren, she was the kindest person they had ever met, and a role model to strive to become. To her husband, she was an angel that was taken too soon. The Funeral The funeral is to be held in Hyspia, within La Dorada at the Church of Blessed Francisco in four Saints Days time. All who knew Annika are welcome to attend, including those of her maiden family, House Amador. Signed, HIS EXCELLENCY, Demitrey Denodado Visconde de Banderas, Baron de Sevilla, Gran Canciller de Hyspia, Oficial de Imigracion, Captain of the Opal Odyssey
  9. LA CORTE DE GIRASOL The Soberano’s Court Issued by the Soberano-Consort of Hyspia 11th of Carlos Strength, 92 D.R. A depiction of the Hyspian people. Within the history of Hyspia and its changing trends, brief accounts of its peoples' fashion has been given, but never anything more in-depth. This is showcased in a previous missive on the Hyspian culture and its fashion during the Hyspian schism era, the next missive to be found on Hyspias fashion being found during the Hanso-Hyspian era in which a section was touched on within a Haense fashion missive. The most recent missive is under the late Vicereine Karyna of Malkova's reign, speaking briefly on the common peoples form of dress. What the three have in common is that they are brief blurbs of what the Hyspian fashion is, in which we wish to elucidate the understanding of today in this in-depth missive of what the Hyspian people wear in today's era. Hyspian fashion today has come to be encompassed in two words, fabrics and layers. While status can change the meaning of those entirely, you would find more often than not this common denominator showcased amongst the Hyspian people. Breathable fabrics such as linen, silk and lightweight cotton are most primarily used for the underlayers of the Hyspian outfit - Gone unseen for the most part. It is the overlayers that the people see, that are paired together with vests, ponchos, shawls, belts and the like that make up the vibrant blend that is Hyspian fashion. Light, flowy clothing is seen, allowing for an ease of movement and protection from the Hyspian sun. Dyes and pigments dominate the fashion landscape, vibrant colors contrasting greatly against the desert sands, aquas, pinks and deep greens making their rounds. A depiction of a common Hyspian outfit. In the depiction above, you can see a Hyspian couple stand side by side. On the right, a common Hyspian woman is shown, donned in vibrant fabrics. The shoes worn are closed-toed, made of suede or soft leather, the materials used due to the Hyspian environment. Above this is a vibrantly patterned skirt, this one checkered or patchwork, aiding in showcasing her status as one of the common people. Attached to the skirt is an apron of vibrant colors, embroidery and imagery upon the bottom - the imagery showcasing keeping with the fashion trends which aids in telling further of her status, being a bit more well-off. Moving towards the top, a loose long sleeve is worn, the sleeves translucent and easily able to be pinned or rolled up. Tying up the entire outfit is a vibrantly colored shawl, draped over it and pinned before her, making up the average Hyspian outfit. On the left, you have the common Hyspian man, who is not as trendy as his counterpart. He dons a pair of suede or soft leather boots, closed-toed - which leads up to a pair of breeches of a blue color, loose and soft to allow for easier movement. The breeches are high-waisted, with a vibrantly colored fabric belt cinched at the top over a simple beige underlayered vest, which has a further underlayer beneath it, a mid-sleeve top with a collar poking out. Above this all is a blue vest, made of the same fabric and color the breeches are - embroidery at the edges and simple copper buttons. The look is finished off with a draping cape, dark in color and with a lack of patterns, embroidery or imagery. “Hyspian attire can range widely depending on the wealth and social standing. While more wealthy Hyspians can afford more eloquent and traditional clothing, the more lower class Hyspians usually resort to wearing anything they can sew together.” An excerpt from the Hyspian schism era missive on fashion. A depiction of the Noble Hyspian outfit. In the depiction above, you can see a Hyspian couple stand side by side. On the right, you have the trendy noble donned in vibrant skirts, shawl and a decorative hair comb with flowers - associated with the flamenco look which has been rising in popularity. While unseen in the depiction, she dons a pair of closed-toed, crepe soled slippers with a rise to it, intricate embroidery along the edges. The skirt is bell-shaped due to the farthingale beneath it - an underskirt aiding in forming the shape the Noble lady wishes for. The overskirt, a rich green with many folds and layers is seen over top, ruffles showcased with a silver embroidery. Moving up is the square neckline along a lighter green bodice, translucent ruffles showcased along the top and a powdery fabric strung along, in which a shawl is pinned onto - the pins of a lustrous gold. The shawl is long, of a darker fabric towards the end - allowing for further drapery. The top is translucent and patterned alike, leaving it open to showcase any jewelry found beneath and the shawl left open to showcase the entirety of the outfit. On the left, you have the trendy noble man, donned in vibrant colors, embroidery and imagery, alongside that of the widely popular montera hat that the Matadors so favor. Though unseen, he wears closed-toes boots with crepe soles and golden buttons imprinted with imagery upon suede lined flaps, pinning them down. He dons vibrantly colored breeches, tighter on the bottom and looser at the top, allowing an ease of movement. A soft leather belt is worn, a buckle with imagery showcased prominently, tying the breeches together. Hidden is a simple shirt of light fabric, and above it, a doublet tailored to fit snugly. It is of a vibrant color and intricate texture, ruffles coming together in many sewn-together layers. The sleeves are long, becoming looser at the end when they flare out as bell sleeves. Tying together the entire outfit is the highly popular side-cape, of a different shade to the doublet and showcasing patterns and embroidery of flower based imagery. A depiction of the further layering of the Hyspian outfit. “Cardigans with embroidered flowers and ponchos with intricate designs became a staple, silver or aurum chains tying the pieces together. Added layers of vibrant fabrics, belts, buckles, pins, and the like became more notable in turn. Each adornment becomes a fashion statement of their own; the quality of a brooch or pin and its grandeur helps those to tell the individual's status.” An excerpt from a missive on Hanso-Hyspian fashion. In the previous section, we spoke on fabrics and the importance of layering, going in-depth as to the social classes' way of doing so. In this section, we will touch further on layers that go into creating each artistic Hyspian ensemble. Many options can be found when creating the Hyspian outfit, ranging from side-skirts to ponchos. The way of wearing each piece is open to change. The three ranges seen in skirts and capes being that of shape and length. Side, half and full. Side-skirts or capes are used as more of a statement piece, layers peeking out from beneath and of vibrant color, embroidery and imagery as it is the top-most piece seen by all. Half-skirts and capes are much the same, but allowing for a further cover and protection from the desert sun - the full lengths doing naturally as expected with these articles of clothing. Other articles of clothing often seen used are the shawl and cardigan, embroidered or with loose and translucent fabrics. Ponchos are much the same as the above, though often longer in length, with deep-set imagery of a deeper contrast of color to the base color. A depiction showcasing a particularly pious Hyspian woman. “Furthermore, Hyspian clothing holds a common theme of square necklines, various jewelry, and embroidery holding symbolism to that of the Hyspian people and of the church, and each layer of fabric is more colorful than the last.” An excerpt from the Hanso-Hyspian on fashion. Spoken of frequently during this missive is that of embroidery and imagery, which will be touched on further in this section. Each piece of embroidery and imagery holds a symbolism in the Hyspian culture, more often than not, being used to show their piety and nationalism. Religious iconography is most prevalent, imagery of Blessed Francisco, favored Saints and the Lorraine cross found most often. Alongside this, thin, aurum detailings are found in embroidery. Nationalism can be found in the beads of embroidery, and upon ones skirts, doublets or veils. Sapphires and blue based jewels are thus used to showcase the love for Hyspia, with use of its colors. Veils when used can be of varying styles, from the translucent veil growing in popularity, short and delicate - and used to better signify youth. These would be attached most often to some form of head piece, of golds or silvers. Longer veils of a non-translucent fabric tells an entire story of its own, detailed imagery and embroidery showcased upon it - jewels pocketed throughout to make up the piece. The base color is of a simpler nature most often, so as to not detract from the imagery used. Crosses, pins, buttons, belts, buckles and the like each are something added onto any Hyspian ensemble to keep the varying layers together, each adornment further telling a story of the individual in question and their livelihood. A depiction of a Hyspian bride and groom. The wedding outfits of Hyspians range and vary wildly, and cannot be pinpointed to any specific style or color. From the more pious dresses, donned in a cross and veil - the only luxury being that of a rich, pigmented color to that of the exotic, in which the grandest display the individual may ever wear is showcased, in vibrant colors, embroidery and imagery. From heirloom dresses, to ones of no expense wasted, wedding outfits - for men and women alike, range widely from one couple to the next. The one thing in common between each is the showcasing of pigmented colors, long flowing fabrics and religious iconography somewhere upon their person. A depiction of a Hyspian woman in mourning. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there is the traditional Hyspian mourning garb. This comes in blacks and yellows, with the uncommon splash of color amongst their person. It is perhaps the only time in a Hyspians wardrobe that one would see an abject lack of color, patterns and embroidery. This by no means makes the outfit simple, for what it lacks, it makes up for with intricate and lengthy veils, aurum and silver crosses, beads and pins - and deep, flowing garments. It is heavily frowned upon to wear anything vibrant during a time of mourning, and once someone is to remove the mourning garb and wear something anew, they are thus considered out of mourning. Hyspian fashion is not just about clothing; it’s a celebration of heritage, creativity, and the vibrant spirit of its people. It's an art form that interweaves tradition with modernity, functionality with elegance. As Hyspia continues to embrace its roots while looking forward, the evolution of its fashion remains a captivating journey to observe and participate in.

  12. HERITAGE AND HISTORY The Necessity of Records and Research Edict Issued by the Viceroyal Crown 15th of Maria’s Peace, 91 D.R. [!] A Hyspian scholar drafting a thesis on behalf of the Hyspian Historical Institute. Time is an expanding concept. It progresses but never ceases in its journey. As the path of time is ever endless and infinite, a traveler must diverge from it to rest, perhaps permanently. Yet, even so, time shall continue to move forward. However, the legacy one leaves behind must not be lost upon the road. Rather, it should be recovered, engraved and forever recorded for future generations to learn and discover. Hyspia is more than a nation. It is a culture, a culture which has blossomed for decades and centuries long before the rule of De Pelear, and long before the establishment of La Dorada. La Ciudad de la Plata is one such example. It was considered the last established home of the Hyspian people in Almaris. Before that it was Niseep. And much before that: Osanora, Tierra Natal, and further beyond. All such settlements have their own histories and their own legacies. The origins of the Hyspian people, its establishment as a united culture also deserves such a legacy to be recorded in the annals of history. Thus, it is through this decree that the Hyspian Historical Institute shall form. Its mission shall be to record the traditions of the Hyspian community. It shall be open to all Hyspians scholars and beyond to further record our history, our beliefs, and our culture for the future generations to learn and take advice from as they continue to grow our nation and let it blossom further. This institution, sponsored by the Crown, invites all Hyspians who wish to record and research the rich history of the Hyspian people. Through this institution, Hyspian scholars may publish their many works and pursue their academic intiuitions for the betterment of educating the public of our history. May we honor our past and embrace the future, together. Honrar el pasado. Abrazar el futuro. Viva Hyspia. Con DIOS Avanzamos, HIS HIGHNESS, Cesar II de Pelear, Viceroy of Hyspia, Duke of Pacazu, Baron of Arenisca and Del’mar, Lord of Ladorada, Lord of Niseep, Gereon's Hold, and Ciudad de Plata, Gran Maestre of El Orden de Francisco, Protector of the Hyspian People, Protector of the Farfolk, Patriarch of House de Pelear HIS EXCELLENCY, Vicente Murietta II, Colonel of Hyspia, Caballero Comendador del Orden de Francisco, Scholar of the Hyspian Historical Institute
  13. Synod on Homophilic Matrimony Answering the Four Canonist Princes 8th of the Amber Cold, 168 S.A. Dear brothers and sisters in faith, Recently, Queen Catherine of Petra, Queen Sybille of Balian, Tar-Caraneth of Numendil and Viceroy Cesar of Hyspia published a declaration titled 'Four Canonist Princes on Marriage', which many of you will have undoubtedly read. To the relief of some and the disappointment of others, we hereby announce that the Canonist Church will not go along with the decision of these rulers. It is not their prerogative to make decisions on key elements of our faith such as which people can be joined together in the sacrament of matrimony, especially not considering that these "Four Canonist Princes" completely went behind the Church's back in this decision of theirs, save for the consultation of Monsignor Enrico Amadeus. As it stands, the Canonist Church does not condone homophilic matrimony - also known as 'same sex marriage'. It is a direct violation of Canon Law, as Book IV, Title I, Chapter 2. MATRIMONY of the Codex Iurius Canonici Danielus Pontifex clearly states: "The purpose of matrimony is the holy union of a man and a woman". This law is based in theology and scripture, and we deem Monsignor Enrico Amadeus' brief arguments in favor of homophilic matrimony to be insufficient as to argue against this law. Therefore the Four Canonist Princes are in violation of Canon Law and we would urge them to abide by God's law as interpreted and written by the church for many hundreds of years. Simultaneously we do however realize there is a strong desire among the Canonist flock to adress the topic of homophilic matrimony. We are therefore more than happy to discuss the subject, but since it is a religious affair, we do not wish it to be decided upon by secular laymen, but rather for it to be discussed in religious circles. We therefore announce that a Synod on Homophilic Matrimony is to be held within the coming years in the Synod Hall of the Holy See. This shall be the first Synod of the kind we are establishing in our rewriting of the Codex Iurius; namely a gathering of the entire priesthood to debate theology and matters of Church law. In other words, every ordained priest will be welcome and indeed urged to attend this Synod. There, this gathering of the priesthood may argue for or against the inclusion of homophilic matrimony on religious grounds based on scripture and tradition. A vote will then be held at the end of the Synod, in which the members of the priesthood will decide wether or not the Church is to allow this new kind of marriage. Granted there is a majority of the priesthood in favor of this reform, and their arguments for said reform are deemed religiously sound by us personally, Homophilic Matrimony will be legalized in Canon Law. Should there not be a majority of the priesthood in favor however, or the arguments made for such are deemed insufficient, it will be rejected. This, we find, is the proper way to effect or reject such a monumental change in the laws of our faith. In the meantime, the Holy Mother Church's official stance is that homophilic matrimony is illegal as a result of its contradiction of Canon Law. Until a decision has been made in favor of the topic by the Synod, the Church will not condone this kind of marriage, as it is currently deemed sinful, and we forbid our priests from officiating same-sex marriages. We hope that, while this may be a bitter disappointment for the supporters of the 'Four Canonist Princes on Marriage' declaration, people realize that these princes made false promises with said declaration, as they hold no authority to alter religious law, including what is and isn't allowed in terms of the Sacraments. The Synod on Homophilic Matrimony will be planned within the coming months to take place, preferably within the next two years, on a date suiting the majority of the priesthood. In the meantime we encourage debate on the topic by and between priests and laymen alike. Sincerely, His Holiness, Sixtus VI ☩ EST CYCLUS, NON MUTATIO ☩ IT IS A CYCLE, NOT CHANGE

  16. CLARIFYING THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS An Official Response from the Hyspian Crown Issued by the Viceroyal Crown 14th of Horen’s Calling, 87 D.R. LET IT BE KNOWN, The Viceroyalty of Hyspia does not approve nor endorse the actions of Alexander Llopis and the Hyspian medic. Both missives are not official documents from the government. Neither Alexander Llopis nor the Hyspian physician are members of the Viceroy’s Council. Neither of them approached the government regarding these matters. Posting bounties without the approval of the Hyspian Crown is against the law. Taking official action without consultation and consent from the Monarch and the Consejo, is henceforth a CRIME. Thus, Alexander Llopis, charged on two accounts, and by the order of His Highness, Cesar II, shall be: I. Suspended from all active service duties in the Orden de Francisco for four Saint’s Weeks. After suspension he may re-enlist into the Order at the discretion of the Colonel. However, he shall be required to participate in the defense of Hyspia when called upon, as a citizen militia during this time. II. Required to pay a two hundred mina fine for his actions. This fine is due within three Saint’s days. Failure to pay will result in imprisonment for five Saint’s Weeks. III. Required to rescind all bounties on the capture of Paladins and the Knights of Xan. Furthermore, the Hyspian physician who published such a scathing missive accusing the Paladins of theft, shall be censured. The Paladins have been granted access in Hyspia at the approval of the Viceroyal Crown. They had offered their assistance in investigating the recent Darkspawn attacks that had befallen Hyspian citizens. The Order of the Saint Jude of Holy Mother Church is also providing assistance in investigating the Darkspawn. The Viceroyalty of Hyspia DOES NOT endorse the persecution of Paladins. No charges, nor accusations are brought against them on behalf of Hyspia. The Knights of Xan are still permitted to enter within the territories of Hyspia to assist us against the darkspawn threat. Signed, HIS HIGHNESS, Cesar II de Pelear, Viceroy of Hyspia, Duke of Pacazu, Baron of Arenisca and Del’mar, Lord of Ladorada, Lord of Niseep, Gereon's Hold, and Ciudad de Plata, Gran Maestre of El Orden de Francisco, Protector of the Hyspian People, Protector of the Farfolk, Patriarch of House de Pelear

If multiple individuals claim the bounty as a group, the reward shall be split between the group. Article III - False Bounties III.01 - A false bounty is any bounty that has not been validated by the Colonel and Justiciero, and has not been approved by the Viceroy. III.02 - A false bounty is considered a Minor Felony in the eyes of the Law.

  18. The Fuentistas Resolve Scribed by Prescott Sands [!] Artist depiction of Jose Fuentes during his bout of illness. It has been three years since I’ve been left bedridden due to a bout of sudden illness that was plagued upon me after the Battle of Westmark. Since that time, there have been many things that I’ve disagreed with, but cannot find myself able to act upon due to my unstable condition. For this, I apologize for my inability to properly bear my duties as the Margrave of Coracoa. Yet now I will not bite my tongue. The recent accusations against the Paladins of Xan, a faithful ally of the Mother Church in their crusade against darkspawn, is blasphemous. Nonetheless, putting a bounty on faithful allies of the Church is simply irresponsible of the Regiment, though it seems this action was done by a militia. I can assure you that the Colonel, my brother Pedro Fuentes, would never go as far as to do such a heretical action. Thus, I, Jose Fuentes, hereby demand these actions to ensure that Hyspia’s reputation will not be tarnished: I. House Fuentes and their followers, henceforth called ‘Fuentistas’, demand the removal of the bounty on the Paladin accused of trespassing and burglary. II. House Fuentes and the Fuentistas ask the Crown for a report to be published based on the findings of possible Darkspawn lying in wait in Hyspia. III. House Fuentes and the Fuentistas ask for a formal apology to be issued to the Paladins of Xan for the slander done on behalf of government representatives. If these demands aren’t met, the Fuentistas will begin a series of protests that will negatively impact the region. This includes, but is not limited to; Refusal of taking up arms, Refusal to pay taxes, Refusal to do duties within the nation. This will not stand. Signed, 𝔍𝔬𝔰𝔢 𝔉𝔲𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔰 Margrave of Coracoa, Knight of Hyspia

It shall never cease unless the Almighty wills it. His Highness’s council shall follow the same principle. Amidst recent changes within the Consejo, the Viceroyal Crown sees it fit to issue an edict regarding renovation to the Consejo’s structure and new appointments to certain positions: Canciller del Pais The role of Canciller del Pais, a position held by Erland Maor until his disappearance, has been dissolved by the order of the Viceroy.
