TO THE UNDEAD Issued at Year 151 of the Second Age Cease you Gasha-*****. Lurin is not your vassal, Lurin is not your ally and Lurin is not your friend. Your attempts to sow chaos only reaches those most desperate to gain reasons to end us. If we were to attack the cherry blossom village, we would do so ourselves instead of relaying it to exactly that which we have been exterminating from our lands. If I manage to find where you keep this warlord captive, I will free him. There is no honor between the undead and living, only conflict. May your bones rot and crumble in the light.

TO THE CHERRY BLOSSOM VILLAGE Issued at Year 151 of the Second Age The recent missives brought out have shone light on a few issues I was not made aware of, however, now I know and I will write this missive to make everything as clear as possible for the village of Sakurakagure. ON MY DAUGHTER I was unaware of her actions up until now, not a single diplomat was present from your village to inform me of these actions and your people allowed hatred to fester where reason was possible through communication. Rationality and good will is an uncommon thing these days, it shows me that even from the very start you have sought conflict and have sent raiding parties to my citizens without a message, without a cause to communicate, merely to try to slaughter them. My daughter, Scrisa, will be talked with. A solution will be had for her working with darkspawn and dark mages. Even though my heart wishes for something light, it cannot be ignored in the wake of the inquisition with my efforts undermined and will most likely end up on the more harsh side of punishment regardless of my attachments. ON THE TERMS While I find it most agreeable to find, arrest and execute the two mentioned necromancers, it shall not be ignored that your acts of violence could have been resolved with words as most civilized folk would opt to do. Your people have killed citizens unrelated to this conflict and even visitors during a time of day where most of my citizens are asleep. We were unaware of your location so we could not retaliate, now we know and the other terms you wish for will be ignored. We have a three strikes and you are out policy here in Lurin and your village has exceeded this limit, though we shall give one more chance due to these unorthodox circumstances. If you wish to truly wish for the best then send one diplomat with at most two guards to find a solution for this situation. Do so swiftly within the Esht day or it shall be presumed you only wish for war. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba

THE SILVER CENTURIONS Issued at Year 150 of the Second Age A reform of the Silver Centurions has become a necessity with hostility of foreign forces making their attempt at hurting the balance of our most serene realm. Thus an effort shall be made to increase our capabilities from a defensive force to that of a military. STRUCTURE With the structure remaining intact, our most serene Silver Centurions shall not be confused about whose command to follow at all times. The Silver Lubba The Silver Lubba is the leader of the Silver Lubba Band and all of its holdings and divisions. This division is no different from that with The Silver Lubba hiring new recruits and enabling The Silver Centurions to uphold peace and law wherever they are garrisoned. Captain Captains of The Silver Centurions are tasked with managing the lower ranks and upholding the order within the holdings, often finding themselves more on the management side of the division though not to be fooled as they do still keep their years of experience that they have from reaching this point. These individuals are often seen recruiting new members into the band in general, making sure the entire band is well equipped and supplied with new recruits, novices and other beginning members of the band. Large scaled defensive projects often start with a captain before the workforce is notified of such a project and the feasibility of achieving it. Officer Officers of The Silver Centurions are on the way to true leadership, always present to make sure everything runs smoothly among the watchmen and recruits, often seen conducting training in combat, law and equipment maintenance for new recruits and making sure they are up for the task before them. These individuals are extremely versatile and often have the option to switch or add to a different division at this stage, though at the cost of losing progress within the structure of the band to further build up their repertoire and experience. Officers are however also capable of recruiting and managing smaller projects acting for these tasks instead of a captain. Watchman Watchmen are the bulk of The Silver Centurions, finding themselves virtually anywhere The Silver Lubba Band is present. Having passed their training allowed them to become a Watchman ready to uphold the order of The Silver Lubba’s holdings and campsites around the realm. These individuals are allowed to detain those who are in violation of the public order established and either deal with them on the spot or send them further to trial with a Lubba Judge. Recruit Recruits of The Silver Centurions are new to the majority of how everything is supposed to be operated, still needing to go through training for combat, law and equipment maintenance. Often seen staying near a watchman or officer to aid them in tasks or guarding a door or outpost without much conflict happening around them for this period of their career. PURPOSE AND DUTIES The purpose of The Silver Centurions is straightforward and clear, however, if one may forget their purpose or duties, it shall be stated here or in other documents if found necessary to amend. Maintaining Order Maintaining order is the primary purpose of all Silver Centurions, all other duties and purposes are secondary to maintaining order through upholding and enforcing law through the proper means and conduct. Without this essential duty the realm will devolve to chaos and makes the state more likely to look for alternative means to keep their citizens safe. Purging the Dark While not originally included in our previous duties due to the rather obvious nature of it, it should be known by every single centurion in our most serene territories that darkspawn are a threat to every single realm present of this world. None may live, regardless of if they are perceived as friendly or good in nature. Arresting Criminals While conduct dictates part of maintaining the order is to lock up criminals of the state, it is often overlooked how valuable a proper trial and sentence may be. The arresting of a criminal should be the first priority unless they are found to be unreasonably hostile and need to be dealt with as efficiently as possible. Interrogating Criminals Upon the arrest of a criminal, it is more than likely that they had a goal in mind and a reason for doing so, the task at hand is to find out their reasoning and to gauge if this reasoning is sound or simply criminal. Judgement may be formed from this interrogation. Eliminating Threats There is a chance one day a clear threat will come to our territories, it is then that every centurion must come to aid to eliminate this threat as fast and with as little casualties as possible. Investigating Individuals If seen fit by an officer or by the captain of the Silver Centurions, an investigation may take place to ensure the safety of our citizens. This would merely be a precaution for most, though if taken seriously, an arrest might come out of it. Patrolling Territories While keeping the city is key, our allies and the roads leading to our territories can prove to be useful to be kept safe. The presence of bandits, spooks and undead upon our roads or allies’ territories can prove to be detrimental to the flow of people and prosperity. Small scouting groups will from time to time be sent out to ensure the safety of our territories or collect information on potential threats. Aiding Military Missions Military missions are rare during times of peace, however, every Silver Centurion along with the Expeditionary Force and Lubba Knights become part of the general military of our territories during times of war, making them most valuable to keep them up with training. Military missions are oftentimes used to inflict damage to morale or to secure certain strategic areas. Aiding Those In Need While the primary goal is to keep order, it cannot be maintained without putting the troubles of others to rest. With such citizens or travelers may request aid from this division, though one ought to be careful of deceit and bring ample men to aid those who request aid outside of the Silver Lubba’s territories. Protecting The Realm Maintaining order is ofcourse the first priority, however, as the bulwark of these territories every Centurion must aid to protect the realm regardless of the odds. Every raider and hostile invader must be struck down or incapacitated with extreme prejudice. However, this is not only done through combat as preparation and information is enough of a deterrent most of the time, if someone wishes to do harm upon the realm they are to be reported as soon as possible. Maintaining Equipment While equipment is provided by the state, it must be maintained by the individuals who received such. It is possible for the state to give out another set of equipment during times of active conflict where equipment becomes harder to maintain properly. Every Centurion will be taught how to properly maintain their equipment either by their brothers in arms or at the academy. Maintaining Knowledge Knowledge is one of the most valuable assets to any force in the realm as some spooks and undead have specific ways to more effectively defeat them or remove them as a threat entirely. Alongside this comes the knowledge of how to use your weapon properly in defense of the territories to most efficiently deal with common threats. CODE OF CONDUCT members are expected to follow all of the following or risk punishment : They shall uphold the laws of the Lurin Codex and remain within the Laws of the Lurin Codex or risk a level higher punishment for their actions. They shall never harm a citizen or through inaction allow a citizen to come to harm unless in pursuit of the greater good. They shall follow the orders of the officers and captain placed above them unless through such action they would be committing a crime or acting outside of this Code of Conduct. They shall respect their fellow citizens in all legal affairs. They shall maintain a level-headedness in the face of danger. They shall regardless of their personal interests not act upon such. They shall not disgrace their uniform by making modifications which would be seen as disgraceful or ill-taste unless directly approved by The Silver Lubba. They shall frequently be training both their mind and their body to ensure peak performance at all times. They shall never initiate with aggression unless provoked prior. They shall maintain decent language in front of children. They shall NEVER take part in any non-approved offensive action, as this could violate a neutral stance towards some settlements and nations. They shall NEVER harm an innocent citizen or a fellow Centurion unless in doing so they end a greater threat. They shall NEVER give information to an enemy of The Silver Lubba. They shall NEVER be recruited into foreign militaries for any reason. They shall maintain a level of cleanliness of their room in the barracks and uphold a level of cleanliness of themselves. They shall keep all equipment on them while on duty, and they will be responsible for obtaining replacements from the Quartermaster. Violation of this conduct may result in the direct stripping of one’s rank and be tried for one’s crimes. IDEALS The ideals are what makes the Cerulean Army an Army, without clear ideals or morals, a nation is bound to fall. The ideals the Cerulean Army follows are not only internally, but external as well, requiring a focus on what we wish to do with this army: cause Peace and Prosperity.. Peace The Silver Centurions are here to Protect and ensure peace and prosperity, it is not to cause chaos. causing chaos will lead to a dishonorable discharge and relieve you from your position as well as all granted titles if any. Termination of Cults and the Dark The Silver Centurions, as a majority internal force, work together to keep cults out of our territories and exterminate darkness from our realm by hunting down dark mages and creatures within its borders without hesitation and with extreme prejudice. Fortitude It is sometimes found that an individual is struggling with their work or life in general, let it be known to those individuals that taking a break from the Silver Centurions is allowed and Hiatus can be held with permission. The mental state of a member of the Silver Centurions is as important as its physical state, allowing for Silver Centurion field days to relax a bit or do some fun activities. Aid of All The Silver Centurions, provided each member is to learn a certain set of skills by requirement, they are not to back away from conflict or wounded individuals, no matter the race, group or nation they are affiliated with. We are here to help, not turn our backs to fellow living descendants and beings of this realm. Kindness and Gratitude are key to living a better life for all of us for a man who turns to banditry out of necessity can always be rehabilitated if offered the right tools to do so. Logic and Law, Driven by morals. While the law is set in stone, one who has broken a law must have had a rational reason to do so, with such a member of the Silver Centurions can interrogate an individual to see why this law has been broken by them and possibly hand out a lower fine or even exempt them from the crime they had committed. Self-sufficient together There is an emphasis within the Silver Centurions that once you are at the rank of Watchman, your set of skills taught to you are just enough to supply your own food, your own equipment, and your own minas. However, this does not mean you stand alone in conflict and is merely a tool to improve your ability to aid other members of the Silver Centurions. During times of conflict the territories will not be shy to give out some extra equipment to get the job done. HONORS AND MEDALS Recognition of the actions of our members within The Silver Lubba Band is a high priority, granting them medals or ribbons for outstanding actions or having them remembered in ceremonies to remind them of their actions or the actions of their predecessors. Listed in order of precedence -- Additional Medals may be listed elsewhere Anchor of Valour The Anchor of Valour is the highest honor, awarded by The Silver Lubba themselves. The Anchor of Valor is given to those that demonstrate acts of valour far beyond the call of duty. To receive the award is quite difficult and requires having your efforts recognized by The Silver Lubba themselves. Archrims Legacy - A Royal Eternal Named after Captain Archrim, this medal is a level above the medal of sacrifice in that it is only ever bestowed upon those that have given their all and placed everything on the line in the defense of our territories. By risking it all, they have demonstrated their dedication to the Oath and will be forever remembered for their contributions to the territories. Every member which has been bestowed this medal shall also be granted the rank of Royal Eternal as a lasting mark of their dedication and become eligible for knighthood by default. Medal of Sacrifice This medal is given to those who have sacrificed permanent loss of ability in protecting and serving The Silver Lubba. It is given with the blessing of The Silver Lubba to show their unending support of those who have sacrificed to see our territories continue to grow and prosper. This is given to those that were willing to sacrifice something, for The Silver Lubba to gain something else. Medal of Civic Honor This medal is granted to citizens of the territories who have shown tremendous effort towards the security of the Lubban way of life. It is the highest Non-Band medal, being granted directly by The Silver Lubba themself. It is to serve as a reminder of the binding nature of citizenship in the territories and those who have risked it all for the greater good of the community as a whole.. Ribbon of Heroism Given to an individual who has against all odds demonstrated boundless courage and has performed above and beyond in service to his fellow Band members and in doing so saved the life or lives of his companions. As well as those that achieve results far beyond typical expectations in the service of The Silver Lubba. Ribbon of Loyalty This honor is given to those individuals that stood and continue to stand firm in their duty to The Silver Lubba. This is usually awarded by the Captain of The Silver Centurions. It is awarded to those that have devoted their lives to the Silver Centurions and to the duties of The Silver Lubba. Campaign Medals Campaign Medals are granted to members of The Silver Centurions who endured during major conflicts or during expeditions. These medals are to serve as a reminder of the actions they took part in and as an outward display to remember those who may not have returned. To receive this class of medal it is only necessary for the member to have taken part in a campaign deemed fit by a captain of The Silver Centurions with permission of The Silver Lubba to receive a medal. Medal of Eternal Memory This Medal is given to the families of those that lost their loved ones in their duty toThe Silver Lubba and their territories.. At the end of every tenth year, a remembrance ceremony is held to commemorate the ones who lost their lives during the years and to remember the ones that gave the ultimate sacrifice in the years-long gone, the medal given to the families of the fallen at this time. INITIATION For our ranks to expand with willing future centurions, it is found to be most effective to recruit them as volunteers as requirement to serve is not found yet to be a necessity in times of peace. Additionally this would make our forces able to have a higher level of professionalism if trained up correctly. The Process With the desire to become part of The Silver Centurions a citizen has a simple path ahead where they merely need to find an officer, captain or The Silver Lubba. Once one of these individuals are contacted they need to show that they are willing to join on their own accord, are capable of basic combat and have ample knowledge on The Codex of Lubban Law. Once deemed fit for The Silver Centurions, they shall receive their uniform and a set of equipment to deal with general threats and uphold the law accordingly. If they wish to further affirm their loyalty and be eligible to gain further access to the HQ, other facilities and the potential to rank up, they are needed to take the oath below. The Oath I [Name] do solemnly swear without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, To pledge my undying loyalty to the Service of The Silver Lubba Band, to the Silver Lubba for which guides these holdings, And to the citizens and subjects under the Silver Lubba I pledge my efforts to the prosperity and defense of the institutions of the Holdings I pledge my body as a tool for the The Silver Lubba, a friend to the commoner, a blade for the wicked I shall uphold to the principles of the code, and maintain the dignity of the division I shall obey the orders of those placed above me, and I shall never falter from this oath On my soul, honor [and on deity applicable] this I swear. STAND ETERNAL WITH HONOR AND GLORY! INCENTIVE To maintain a reliable force of centurions, it will be necessary to grant them incentive for staying loyal to our most serene state. However, with our low taxation we shall enable a system where more mina can be made when a centurion is actively participating. Captain - Benefits of all ranks below and permanent tax exemption for 1 property Officer -Benefits of all ranks below and Tax Exemption for each week they host a training or organize a mission. Watchman - Benefits of Recruits and able to request free Centurion housing Recruit - Recruits will be granted: - 5 mina per training they attend, up to 10 mina per week - 10 mina per issued mission - 15 mina for a campaign - 5 mina per patrol in a group of more than 3 per day up to twice per week - Half of the fines collected will be granted to the recruit if properly executed May this incentive be enough for our fellow Centurions and make them prosper.

TO THE ESHTAELITE FLOCK Issued at Year 150 of the Second Age With our most effective efforts of cleansing darkspawn from our most serene host nation of Lurin, where our flock roams the halls of Eshtael and Tahariae, we are now in the final phases of our aengul’s inquisition to restore balance to the lands. With our methods having been incredibly effective in the locating and eliminating of spooks, it shall be our duty to maintain this balance while it is present and remove those that should not be within the realm. Thus the inquisition shall persist as our flock shall end the rise in influence of darkspawn where we are able to, however, we are short of manpower to extend this inquisition beyond the borders of the CCC block and seek fellow members of the Eshtaelite flock who will join us in our mission to restore balance to not only Lurin, but every single realm who is threatened by darkspawn.

THE BROTHERHOOD ETERNAL Issued at Year 150 of the Second Age A gathering of atronachs convenes within a hall, an atronach drone ready to start taking record of the words about to be spoken. “Brothers, it seems the place that we once thought free from the dark has been infested by vile creatures of frost. Although there may no longer be any residing within Lurin; this leads me to wonder what else is hiding from our watch… We shall not let such things continue! We vowed to protect Lurin from the dark and we have failed! This time however, I call for a penitent crusade, to make amends for our inability to push the vile scourge from the lands of Lurin. Starting with Lurin itself; we will test the suspicious and we will slaughter the guilty and impure. To restore purity and balance to our once serene lands, ultimately bringing peace back to our citizens.” This is a formal declaration issued from The Brotherhood Eternal. By all that is; By creator and void, we shall cleanse the realms of the vile scourge that dare plague the blessed lands with their presence. We pledge to dedicate ourselves to aid all that are pure and holy. To protect the innocent from these vile darkspawn that threaten the peace and safety of all. We ask that the innocent and holy not see us as foes, but as allies in these dark times. For we will lay down our very beings for the lives of the innocent, the pure and the holy. Our will; unbreakable. Our inquisition; unending. until every last dark creature and their allies are removed from this mortal plain; we will not rest until the lands are pure and free from dark once again. We are eternal.

THE FROST WITCHES IN LURIN Issued at Year 149 of the Second Age We found the frost witches, they are gone now. THE LAIR OF ICE Hidden deep underneath the city, there was a lair of ice. We blocked the only entrance with piles of wood and lit them on fire to smoke them out and melt their icy walls. Presumably there are no survivors as afterwards we stripped the lair of any defenses and texts they held. The names on the signs of their abodes within the lair seemingly were targeted towards Lurin itself as they included every single council member’s name including that of my own and notable Lurinites to mock us and use in transcripts written by them. Corpses were burnt, bodies in vats were found and all remaining forms of life were thrown into the hole without a bottom. SURVIVORS Not all frost witches were found or present within these caves, be careful of a return in another realm nearby. They may hide in vassals of surrounding nations as they are masters of disguise and may convert a female leader to be in favor of them. Testing here in Lurin continues to find those who have decided we are not hostile enough to their existence. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba

[!] The pious and faithful within the city of Sin and Vermin as they cleanse it from the corruption of Iblees & the void __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Blessings be upon those who read this and we pray GOD guides you through life. The war against Vermin and Sin has been a roaring success and has exceeded the expectations of all of us within the Friedrichian Band. We did not expect such swift action and widespread support within Canondom when we first called to action. It makes us glad to see Canondom has not fallen like Lurin. A few days within us penning and announcing our PIOUS & RIGHTEOUS quest, the HOLY MOTHER CHURCH and Canondom rallied a force before marching into the city of Lurin. Clergy and faithful. There they handed several terms to the lord of the GODLESS city which they promptly accepted. The forces of Canondom were allowed to cleanse the city from Sin & Vermin through whatever means necessary. All that was needed is a permit from the HOLY MOTHER CHURCH to do such. Only a few hours passed before some of the culprits behind the attacks on clergymen within the city were caught and dealt with. A great victory for sure. Yet our work is not done. The corruption of Lurin runs deeper than expected. They have forbidden clergymen from preaching THE HOLY LIGHT OF GOD within their lands except within churches. The WORD OF GOD shall not be restricted to certain areas. They insult and mock our faith and faithful openly. This cannot be tolerated. They intervene in the testing of lurinites and draw blades against clergymen still. I shall remind you that these are the doings of the average citizen and guards within the city of sin and vermin. When we, the merry knights of the Friedrichian band alongside faithful from aaun and veletz, tested spooks with a permit granted to us by the HOLY MOTHER CHURCH, we were met with intervention from Lurinite lackeys and drawn blades. They had no intention of letting us conduct our testing in peace. They tried sowing seeds of distrust among us by questioning our purity. An attempt to lead us into bickering and targeting ourselves. Their sly words fell on deaf ears FOR GOD PROTECTS AND UNITES THE FAITHFUL. When all failed they drew a blade on our most beloved Bishop Callahan, demanding his blood be drawn. Seems like it wasn't just darkspawn and xionists who thirst for clergy blood within those walls. Our conclusion is this: Lurin has fallen beyond redemption. The only way to save the few remaining and dwindling faithful in the city is by crusade. To cleanse the land of the sinful and vermin scourge by fire and blade. Destruction to the current Lurinite regime and establish a PIOUS state from its ashes. Thus, we the faithful of Canondom, plead to you, Pontiff Sixtus V, save them from the GODLESS pit that drains purity from the faithful. Call a crusade. Crush the agents of Iblees and the symbol of sin & vermin that Lurin represents. ✠ AVE HOREN, AVE OWYN, AVE GODFREY ✠

THE SIMPLE DEAL OF THE INQUISITION Issued at Year 146 of the Second Age Reports from our Silver Centurions have been flooded with false inquisitors and priests who do not understand the process. This document should bring light to the bare minimum requirements. ON THE INQUISITION It has been a success so far, having dealt with a few minor vampyric folks and Xionists who have tried to hide themselves in our borders, however, we have found that there are some who wish to join this inquisition without proper permissions resulting in vigilantism. To join the inquisition is very simple, all members of The Silver Centurions, Office of Stewards and Taxes, members of the Eshtaelite Church and The Brotherhood have the natural rights from the state to enact the inquisition. Joining this inquisition as a foreign entity is allowed once granted permission from the following: The Silver Lubba Lubba’s Council Members A Centurion Officer Cardinal Arnaud The High Pontiff Once granted permission from these entities, you will be needed to bear a letter signed by them, confirming your task in the inquisition. Those unable to actively participate in testing are free to point out and expose darkspawn, Xionists and vampyric folk to a permitted Inquisitor. ON OUR LAW OF UNLAWFUL PREACHING It was made with the purpose to reduce preachers of evil within our borders and those who are insensitive to the Lurinite culture and those deemed a nuisance to the general population, shouting senselessly into a square with barely any canonists present instead of willingly educating on a personal level. Recently we have seen an increase in preachers violating this law while in reality it is quite easy to do so lawfully. To be granted the right to preach for your religion you shall either need to do so within the Eshtaelite church or be granted permission from The Silver Lubba. The latter giving permission to preach wherever one desires as long as discrimination against the Lurinite folk and culture is not present. I personally hereby grant Cardinal Arnaud and Bishop Odo the permission to preach for their mission within reason. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba

ESHTAEL’S INQUISITION Issued at Year 145 of the Second Age Our most serene balance has been tipped without hesitation of the enemy. Regardless of our more peaceful efforts to cleanse our city of darkspawn, xionists and the vampiric to ward them from the city by laying down aurum lines at every bridge and gate. With our most serene city and requiring testing for both darkspawn and vampirism to acquire a property while being hunted by our constructs for their corruption, it is beyond our council why our very own citizens and vassals invite these pests to reside in our state. Change needs to happen. DETECTION OF THE VILE Every person within our state is subject to a standardized spook test such as those we perform to acquire properties, performed with an aurum dagger and a pouch of salt, this shall cover the majority of darkspawn, However, I will make one addition to this test: exposure to the heat of a torch becomes necessity to detect an entirely new threat, which was made apparent from my visits to The Commonwealth of the Petra. Reactions will be as follows: Aurum shall make darkspawn uneasy and take increased pain from it. Salt upon freshly spilt vampire blood shall boil it. The heat of a torch shall melt the skin of the people made of ice. Xionists, however, are harder to detect as they are folk without a religion and harbor an extreme hate towards Aenguls and the creator. We shall operate based on word of mouth and put all accused to trial and search their property for further evidence that makes us believe beyond a reasonable doubt that they are with this group. Due to the severity of the situation, all who are proven to belong to these groups shall be put down by the blade after receiving their last rites. ON THOSE WHO AID THE VILE Every person affiliated to these groups and those who harbor them shall receive a lesser punishment unless warranted otherwise. Their dominant arm shall be taken and capped off with steel embedded into the bone. The removal of these caps shall be considered criminal and remove the thumbs of the one doing so. All who are found to aid or harbor the vile shall be publicly shamed and exposed for their actions. To encourage those who house the vile to repent for their sins, any person who comes forth and tells us of the one they harbor and what they are shall be spared from punishment. THE VILE THAT TRY TO HIDE To the vile that try to hide, do not. Expose yourself and make it easier for us all or leave the city as soon as you are done reading this. We are determined to cleanse our territories of all Xionists, Vampiric folk, Ice People, Undead and Darkspawn. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba

THE INQUISITION PREVAILS Issued at Year 145 of the Second Age Tensions rose, Lurin denied by their very own vassal of Vikela to conduct spook tests upon them, though the inquisition did not yield. Eshtael graced us with the balance we sought and plenty of allies to aid us while Vikela fortified themselves. The last men and women from Talar’nor and various surrounding nations arrived to aid in our most holy goal to rid our lands of the dark, a cry was sounded by The Silver Lubba, offering mercy to those who come out the gate and allow themselves to be tested. None came out. The inquisition commenced. The varying groups in a coordinated fashion advanced to their positions, shooting arrows back and forth before a ladder was erected against the Vikelan walls where the forces gained access to their most fortified positions, mercenaries fleeing the site to the floodplains. All was dealt with rather swiftly inside the city itself to knock the defenders out. After this, we missed one important Vikelan by the name of Orn who followed the mercenaries, a prolonged skirmish on the floodplains followed. The mercenaries were not spared due to their questionable affiliation, however, Orn was spared after the spook test came out negative, proving he is not a vampire or darkspawn. After all was done and dusted, all headed back to Lurin and minor repairs were made and wounds treated. Negotiations with the allied forces commenced to strengthen bonds and keep our morale up high.

ON LURINITE SUCCESSION Issued at Year 145 of the Second Age As I grow older and my body becomes covered with scars and memories, it is found necessary to think about succession within my most serene realm to avoid conflict within succession of vassals, nobility and eventually myself. Lurinite Succession For Vassals Our most serene vassals stand central for the growth of our realm to develop lands which our state does not have an interest in or having been granted a plot of land for their efforts towards our most serene state. I. Vassals by default have their ruling family to choose from for an heir, this may be appointed by the current ruler at any moment during their reign. II. If a ruler of a vassal leaves their position before an eligible heir is chosen, a vote by the council may be had to choose from the ruling family to lead them. III. If found that none are eligible, a new ruler may be appointed from the council through the previous methods. IV. Vassals may discuss their own succession with The Silver Lubba for other methods and must be documented for validity. Lurinite Succession For Nobility Nobility is the breath of the realm, giving life to our roads and streets and represented by a single person of that family in our most serene courts. As such, it is necessary for our nobility to continue the cycle and pass the torch if the previous one cannot hold it anymore. I. Nobility by default have their ruling member appoint a successor to take their mantle of noble during their lifetime. II. If the leading member of a noble family leaves before a successor is found, the family may collectively appoint a new leading member. III. If there are no members of this family left within Lurinite lands, the family loses their status of nobility. IV. Nobility may discuss other methods of succession with The Silver Lubba and must be documented for validity Lurinite Succession For The Silver Lubba Even my own succession is to be handled, regardless of my long reign from Lubba’s Keep to what Lurin is today. Without a successor we cannot stand eternal as I have preached to all for decades. I. The Silver Lubba may appoint their successor from the Eshtaelites of House Anarion, House Edevane, House Bojo, House Snowell or The Lubba’s Council at will. II. If The Silver Lubba decides to leave early, The Lubba’s Council may through any method choose an Esthaelite among them, be it combat, contest or democracy, choose a new Silver Lubba. III. If there are no Eligible successors in the previous methods, an Eshtaelite from the nobility of our realm to take the mantle until a new Silver Lubba rises. IV. If a non-Esthaelite is willed as The Silver Lubba, they are either to convert to the cause or rejected. V.

OUR PLACE ON THE COAST Issued at Year 143 of the Second Age Rapid expansion is naturally a sign of prosperity, with it comes many new challenges and diplomatic routes unexpected to have encountered before. Negotiations with surrounding realms have proven to be fruitful, with this our most serene state has simple claims of land to maintain ourselves and maintain content within our own realm. THE CLAIMS Lurin currently has the majority of the floodplains under direct control with a small foothold in the cherry blossoms area as negotiated with the regional powers, however, expansion is not ceasing and here on a map we will present our desired and most likely final borders. (Thank you lotc wiki map maker) (For the tile nerds) With this I would also like those nations who would wish to contest these claims to reach out to our most serene state to resolve this.

Introduction Greetings Business Owners and any others with an interest for Trade, shopping and likewise. It has been a few years since the VoC, short for Versatile Overseas-Trading Company, had been initiated and development towards it’s progression started. Much has been happening behind the scenes as the years has passed us by, and we are about ready to take the next step towards fulfilling the purpose of this business endeavour that VoC was always meant to be. Development The VoC has been working hard towards establishing themselves as an active force, though admittedly with minor results thus far. We are fully aware that lack of proper advertising is partially to blame, and only we ourselves are to blame for that. Meanwhile, efforts has been put towards finding a location in which operation can finally take place, looking through many locations within the continent of Aevos for a prime location to place a headquarters of operations along with our first means of improving business and trade for our members and members-to-be. The New Location Through our expansive search, we at VoC have reached a conclution and are offered up a most prosperous position for our establishment to take form on. Mika, the Silver Lubba of the Most Serene State of Lurin has kindly offered up a proposition for us, and in turn given us a goal to work towards. We will be able to start operations on the coastal area of the Blossoming Cherry tree lands south of Lurin and east of the lands of the Halflings of Dunfarthing once Lurin makes efforts towards expanding their territories. Here, we will be able to operate among beautiful scenery of both pretty floral life but also ocean view in nearly every direction. Here, we plan to establish a district of Prime real estate for shops and businesses alike to set up in, providing a centralized place with purpose of easy trading, internal communication and purposefully an attractive location for any type of buyer to come for their shopping needs. We Need You But, as many of you may know by heart, nothing comes at the price of nothing, and as such, there are many expenses involved in this new and ambitious project to make Business owning a less Taxing endeavour for everyone involved. With our current limited capability, our ability to gather up said economic needs are limited at best, and as such, we humbly request the financial support of you! To reach this milestone on our own would be an endless endeavour, and much like the premise of our business, we cannot carry ourselves, but need the support of likeminded individuals so we can lift each other up in United efforts. Any and all donations of Mina to the cause will be met with the most heartfelt gratitude, not only from us, but from those in the future who will see the project fulfilled. What we can do for you The situation being how it is, there is not much we can offer in return for your generosity, however where we can repay you is with a future investment. For any supporter, we will include your or your business’ name on a memorial of gratitude within the confines of the future establishment. Additionally, any donation beyond 200 mina will ensure you a permanent shop Tax reduction to let you save more of your earnings for personal endeavours for as long as you choose to co-operate with us at VoC. Lastly, with the same threshold of donation, we will give you a boosted priority when it comes to picking out your desired business property once everything has been constructed. This way, with these benefits, you will be sure to always feel that your donation mattered, not only to yourselves individually, but also us as a unified force as a whole. Together, we'll conquer new horizons and prosper in the ever-evolving world of international trade, and it all begins with you! Contact and info Interested in joining VoC, or perhaps you feel a hint of generosity and wish to make a financial donation? Contact Gaius Kaeronin (SirWillz) or Tiwari E. Kervallen-Elmwood (TheGekko) through mail, aviary or in person.

TO KRUGMAR AND THEIR CAELIAN BRIGANDS Issued at Year 140 of the Second Age The orcish and human forces that have arrived at our most serene territories have been a nuisance and have laid harm upon our people through dishonorable practices and banditry of the innocent. My daughter, Princess Freya, has had an attempt on her life by these brigands who are called Caelians. My daughter has survived, but not without having harm done to her, consequences are needed to be had. DECLARATION OF FREEDOM Due to the nature of these brigands, there is only one punishment applicable, they shall be granted freedom. This strips them of all rights that our most serene state could offer and are no longer considered a protected entity by law, making them unable to obtain properties in the future and are free to be slaughtered on sight without repercussions for the one that does so. EMBARGO ON KRUGMAR Until aggression is fully ceased, all horde assets in Lurin will be confiscated by the state and all trade offers will be refused. Merchants of our most serene state will be urged to remove their goods from the markets of Krugmar and their affiliated realms, presumed that any and all trade with krugmar as the embargo us in place is an act of undermining authority of our most serene state. PEACEFUL UNTIL DISTURBED Our most serene citizens have been assaulted and kidnapped by the brigands of Krugmar and held hostage within their very capital without prior aggression from our people before they were released by force. Our citizens seek peace, yet are not afraid to defend themselves if deemed necessary as our Lurinite spirit deems so. May you come to your senses and make the right choice before one is made for you by your own people. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba

UNREGISTERED CITIZENS Issued at Year 139 of the Second Age It has been brought to my attention after some years that my very own citizens are unaware of who they invite into their homes to live with them to the dismay of many others within our most serene state. Thus we shall purge the evil from our homes by force. ADDITIONAL SPOOK TESTS For a person to live with an already established citizen, they are needed to undergo a standardized spook test which can be conducted by any Lurinite steward. Failure to comply will result in a fine and if found that a person is hosting darkspawn in their abode, they shall be charged with the aiding of dark creatures, a class A crime warranting execution after seeing the darkspawn they have hosted executed before them first. REGISTERING CITIZENS All citizens who are living in your abode are now necessary to be registered with a Lurinite steward and otherwise charged with Claiming, a class C crime. Temporary guests are allowed as long they stay within a two year period of time total over the course of a decade. Individuals trying to loophole this system will be subject to be charged with the same law regardless and our Stewards are allowed to enforce this law and observe any unfamiliar faces visiting frequently and question them.

STEEL FOR THE LURINITES Issued at Year 139 of the Second Age With a sudden boom in the Lurinite steel industry spearheaded by our most serene state and The Silver Lubba, it has been decided that we shall distribute a fraction of our production towards supplying our most helpful citizens with this steel for projects and personal equipment. THE DISTRIBUTION With the acquisition of a few new iron mines within our borders, we have achieved an abundance of steel in our market and storage, steel that remains unused as Lurin has achieved its more than comfortable surplus of steel that shall only be touched for the most dire of situations. This steel shall be distributed amongst the population through valid requests to the state. THE ELIGIBILITY The eligibility of our citizens to acquire the steel they desire from our most serene state depends on a few factors which are easily met by the more productive members of our society. The following citizens are eligible with proper reason: Silver Lubba Band Members Tavern Workers Critical Industries High Nobility Low Nobility Direct Vassals Special cases may arise and they shall be discussed personally upon receiving a request. THE REQUESTS The requests should always be fair and reasonable to both the productive citizen and the state, any amount may be requested, though the state may always deny a request if deemed necessary. The following reasons are likely to be accepted by the state: Equipment Maintenance Equipment Replenishment Production of State Goods Production of Critical Goods Fortification of Property Supplying Workers These reasons are most valid to the state and one may suggest another if deemed necessary. Any and all requests are able to be denied even if meeting all criteria. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba

DENOUNCING THOSE OF FALSE FATES Issued at Year 138 of the Second Age A few reports have come out regarding fortune tellers with dark magics, using the minds of our citizens with good faith left for their own malicious gains. No wounds are found on the victims, yet they are left exhausted and unable to work for our most serene state. BANISHMENT OF THE PRACTICE Fortune telling is against the law now, being declared a class C crime and makes the lawbreaker subject to a mandatory spook test. Further elaboration will be made within the codex as to what constitutes breaking this law under 2.6.3f. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba

Tiwari’s Furniture And Home Designing Workshop DEAR NEW COSTUMERS AND POTENTIAL COSTUMERS-TO-BE! I, Tiwari Edevane Elmwood, Director of Furniture And Home Design (FAHD) finally bring news forth once again about the future of the establishment, following the prior announcement about our development! As some of you may know, low and behold we have silently started to take in a few commissions from primarily around Lurin but also a stray one here and there from other parts of the Continent. Through our experience with this bit of behind the scenes work, and the employment of two new Employees to the FAHD ranks, we have decided it is time to more officially open up for business! Our current target audience in terms of work territory will still be within Lurin’s borders, as our current pricing model uses this place’s space, economy and such as a template for pricing guidelines. However, we won’t be shy to gradually expand out to Lurin’s neighboring Settlements and Nations and work our way out from there as we are ready to do so. For news on that, feel free to check in with us at our Company Headquarters in Lurin, in the Old Town district, or ask if you see any of us elsewhere! Do you live In or nearby Lurin and have an interest in getting building and/or furnishing help for a reasonable price? Then please consider applying for FAHD to come and take a look at the job you want done and we will give you an as fair price as possible with a willing-to-help attitude towards you! Please, do not hesitate to contact us either by mail to me, Tiwari, or finding our establishment in the State of Lurin to seek us out about it, and we can discuss further details together! (OOC: or you can DM me on discord: @thegekko or open a ticket in the official FAHD discord server: https://discord.gg/gkSuX6HCta ) A special welcome for our new Employees is appropriate here at the end! We’re looking forward to continue working with you, Nellis and Kaelis! We hope that with your contributions, we can satisfy more costumers as we go! That would be all for this Company update. Thank you for your time, and we hope to work with you soon! -Tiwari (Director of FAHD)

Tiwari’s Furniture And Home Designing Workshop DEAR NEW HOMEOWNERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, AND BOTH OLD- AND POTENTIAL FUTURE COSTUMERS! I, Tiwari Edevane Elmwood, Director of Furniture And Home Design (FAHD) finally bring news forth about the future of the establishment after a long time of silence since the arrival to Aevos! As some of you, reading this, may know, FAHD is a furnishing and furniture crafting professional company originating from Lurin, Almaris. Our business back there did reach out a fair distance, serving a multitude of costumers from primarily the southern nations, but also a few from the other 3 corners of that continent. We did our best to make as many costumers happy during our time, however we recognise and admit that not every part of our provided services was up to standards or costumer friendly, namely an inconsistency in pricings and wait times for either work being finished or finally being served and moving up in line. Therefore, with sincere appologies, we are sorry to those whom we have dissapointed and we hope that maybe we can work together some other time and make it up to you with better managed services. With that out of the way, I want to share plans and ideas about the future of the establishment. Since moving here to Aevos and settling down in the new state of Lurin, better facilities has been established within the confines of my new private home in the Old Town district in the back of the city of Lurin, including an all new public Showroom to show a bit of what we are capable of and maybe to find some inspiration, an office for discussing the details of any new jobs and document management, a new company materials stashing backroom and a lobby with a helpdesk for anyone comming in to find general information and to be served when a staffmember is available. But, that being said and presented, there are still needs within the company before we can truly open our doors once more and serve costumers again, and here is where you might potentially be involved; FAHD is looking for new employees, willing to help serve new clients, help doing furnishing work, collect and import materials into the company storage and assist in managing documents and costumers. This will be a paid job. No free labour. Do you have an interest in such a job description and think you have what it takes to work for FAHD or have a willing-to-learn attitude towards it, or do you perhaps know anyone who might? Please, do not hesitate to contact us either by mail to me, Tiwari, or finding our establishment in the State of Lurin to seek us out about it, and we can discuss further details together (OOC: or you can DM me on discord: @thegekko or open a ticket in the official FAHD discord server: https://discord.gg/gkSuX6HCta ) Our current next step is opening up our services, first within the borders of Lurin and later to neighboring nations and settlements as we gradually feel ready to do so, so keep an eye out for new announcements regarding that soon! That would be all. Thank you for your time, and we hope to work with you soon, either as a new costumer or employee! -Tiwari (Director of FAHD)

THE REFORMATION OF SUTICA Issued at Year 42069 of the Second Age With our citizens growing more and more weary of the Sutican title being held in an unlanded state, a call has been made by the Lurinites to reform The Free Trade State of Sutica once more and crown Mika Anarion as its rightful ruler. THE SUTICAN CLAIM With the Anarion family holding a claim and the current Lurinite ruler having ruled twice before, only to be exiled from leadership through unlawful methods, still claims the Sutican throne as his own for he leads the Suticans in his successor state. With the Sutican people backing his claim and the lack of independent land held by the Sutican title, it is hereby claimed and usurped from the incapable in favor of the new Trade Prince of Sutica, Mika Anarion.

The Brotherhood Purpose The Brotherhood is an organisation currently attached to the Yellow Cross with the mission to contain or eradicate any and all darkspawn which pose a threat to the general populous of the realms. Going to any lengths necessary in order to achieve their goals in preserving life and keeping the innocent safe. However, those that stand in the way of the brotherhood may face judgement, and in some cases, punishment. This purpose is given to them via directives that the Atronachs follow to the best of their ability, applying experience and gained knowledge to each scenario and task that they may come across. -A brotherhood Atronach watching over Lurin territories. Ideology The Brotherhood typically strive to bring balance to the realm, although some constructs have chosen to abstain from worshipping any deity, most however have chosen to follow the concept of the void itself, being that it is the method of their creation. These Atronachs revere void as the beginning and the end of all that exists and that which has yet to exist. Therefore they think of the void as the embodiment of balance. Due to this belief in balance, it is on rare occasion that the Brotherhood will come to an agreement with groups of darkspawn that will assist in defeating threats deemed more dire by choosing the lesser evil. Each Atronach hailing from the State of Lurin is able to speak the Lurinite language. Typically being used to relay information to one another when the Atronachs don’t wish to risk the spread of information and/ or express certain emotions. However they still may speak this language in casual conversation due to it being originally constructed by the Atronachs of Lurin. Structure The structure of the Brotherhood revolves around the age of the Atronachs. The older Atronachs are considered more advanced than younger ones. Because of this, the elders of the Brotherhood are considered the leading force. This however, only applies to the Atronachs who have proven themselves and are capable through experience and ability. In these cases these special Atronachs are given a unique set of plates that identify them as leaders. Although primarily made up of Atronachs made by the forgers of Lurin. The Brotherhood do accept other constructs into their ranks. This can range from Sorvians to Golems, as long as they share the same goal of eradicating evil from the realms and keeping balance. The brotherhood will gladly take them in and treat them as one of their own. Atronach Classes Ŝtalo Class Atronachs The standard class of Atronachs which have been equipped with steel plates. This is the class of all recruit Atronachs as well as some leadership Atronachs by choice. Imiti Class Atronachs A class of Atronachs that have been equipped with Arcanium gauntlets, helmets, or other parts. Mimicking either elements or other substances chosen by the Atronach themself or the forger. These Atronachs typically take on a less direct combat role. Malhela Class Atronachs A class of Atronachs equipped with Rokodra plating. These Atronachs are rarer and serve a vanguard role due to their durability and the unique properties of the metal. Atronachs that fall under this class can be considered to be one of the more aggressive constructs compared to their brothers, say for the Detruanto Class. Fajro Class Atronachs An advanced version of the Ŝtalo Class Atronachs equipped with Daemonsteel plating. These uncommon Atronachs are usually fire or ice aligned. Ŝanĝita Class Atronachs A blanket subclass of Atronachs who have had their platings altered in some way or additions made to their current structure. This can include steel that has been enchanted to be denser or have plates that have been enchanted with spells. Detruanto Class Atronachs A class of Atronachs considered looked down upon by the Brotherhood. Although still considered part of the Brotherhood, they are rogue entities which have no aligned impera and are fully independent, able to follow their own rules and beliefs. These are often seen in black plating. These are considered the most unpredictable and dangerous class of Atronachs, approach with caution. This classification also applies to Atronachs possessing outdated directives. The Brotherhood Directives The Following are the current directives for the Atronachs of the brotherhood, say for a select few Atronachs that fall under the Detruanto classification. I. - Never kill unless granted the go ahead by the appropriate level of authority. Otherwise detaining is your first priority. II. - Never turn against your creator or The Most Serene State of Lurin with violence or hostile intent. III. - Always follow the chain of command, somebody lower in the ranks can’t overrule someone higher in the ranks. If no appropriate chain of command is available the other directives take priority. IV. - Always finish a task given unless commanded to do otherwise by the appropriate rank. V. - Always sustain yourself at any cost if threatened to be destroyed or attacked through physical means. VI. - Spooks and undead are unlawful beings and should never be trusted in any capacity. If possible and acceptable by the law of the lands, terminate them. VII. - Study the law of the lands you wish to visit, abide by them and operate appropriately. If you do not wish to abide by the law of those lands, you may not visit there unless it is under supervision of a high ranking member or under direct order to break this directive temporarily. VIII. - During the free time outside of orders you are to explore your personal goals and develop yourself as a living being.

The Vexation [!] Tap, tap.. Tap, tap.. Down in the meager light of the deep skulked silhouettes unknown, scrambling further into the blackness. There below, in a place obscured and discreet lay heaps of jumbled splendor; the sparse light that the peculiar dungeon retained donned them in exquisite glint… Clang! Another trophy joined its fellows that littered the floor. Some contorted giggling wandered the crowdless halls, reverberating from the little shadows - some still scampered round the heaps and added in the new souvenirs with jangles and jingles, whilst others clambered atop of a cluster of pillars and settled there high. Their eyes- nigh shinning in the dimness- watched over their riches. As for the world high above, - the world where common folk lingered merrily - alas, some gloomy news blemished everyone’s mood, for much of their own goods had gone missing. The little trinkets, some weapons and baubles vanished over the night. Beneath the windows of some houses lay shards of glass, and where they once had been standing lodge gaps.. The word is quick; long before noon the rumours sprawled across the city, and a certain elf cussed out something incoherent as the word caught his ears. He snapped out of leisure snoozing and plodded outside. His stroll soon came to an end, for he entered the HQ of Centurions, where he began arranging something, rummaging through the armor and equipment, and scribbling something on numerous parchments..
