Proclamation from the Court of Shadow

[Deleted]

The following is an Official Proclamation from the Most Noble Court of Shadow:

All Citizens of Valdarin's Gate, take heed the following!

Let it be known that the Citizen known as the Viscount Devos will act as liaison between the Citizens of Valdarin's Gate and the Noble Court of Shadow.
Viscount Devos may appoint, by way of sanctioned elections, any position or title he deems necessary to uphold order in Valdarin's Gate.

Let it be known that the position of Warmaster is held by the orc known as Mugthar, the current Champion of Shadow Court.
There will be a Combat of Champions held during the upcoming Coronation in one month's time, during which a new Champion may win the contest.

Let it be known that any Citizen holding title does so at the behest of the Lords of Shadow Court.
The Viscount will be held solely responsible for his appointed Citizens.

Let it be known that all taxes collected are to be turned over to the Marquee and any other appointed Representative of Shadow Court.
All Silver collected will pay for the upkeep and protection of Valdarin's Gate, its properties and Citizens, as well as the re-establishment of the Temple.

Let it be known that Valdarin's Gate is under the Noble Protection of the Court of Shadow, and that all Citizens are under our watch and care.
Citizens are now safe from all undead attacks, as well as from many other threats to our fair Dominion.

More information will be found in the upcoming edition of the Aegarius Times, and in further Proclamations.

[Concerned Citizen]

Well, it seems the King has abandoned us - he wasn't doing a good job of taking care of us anyways. And he closed the Temple. This can't be any worse!

"Let it be known that the position of Warmaster is held by the orc known as Mugthar, the current Champion of Shadow Court.
There will be a Combat of Champions held during the upcoming Coronation in one month's time, during which a new Champion may win the contest."

Does this mean the new champion will also be the warmaster? or is it something seperate?

[Shallowmoore]

I am just going to come out and ask... What is the Court of Shadow? Is it a royal court of those who follow the shadow lord like it sounds? I certainly hope it is not? Does anyone here have any bearing on the subject?

They are dark fey who claim they make up a noble court. As they seem to be allied with the lich, I'm not sure they follow the Shadow Lord.

I know not of these beings, and I am very old - though I admit I have forgotten much after I returned from my rest.

The King has deserted you? We came to collect taxes and NO ONE paid them! You deserve your fate for being so disobedient to your King! The Temple was closed because of the town's inability to follow the only Law the King truly needs you to follow!

[Separatist]

To forfeit your moneys to the crown is the one true law. Our lazy, negligent King cares as much for the common law as he does for the well being of Valdarin's Gate. It is the decree of the guardsmen that we are no longer constrained by these lesser laws.

Murder
Slavery
Kidnapping
Theft
Forgery
Assassination
Treason
Assault
Conspiracy
Casting Chaos
Casting Void
Failure to obey a Royal Official
Impersonation of a Royal Official
Obstructing Justice
Denying entry of a Royal Official
Conspiring with an outlaw
Destruction of Royal property

DEATH TO KING TEROS MONTEL!

It is clear this Separatist is fond of taking a lowly Guard's opinion and turning into the words of the King.



Paying your taxes gives pay and food and weapons to those who would enforce and uphold the King's law. By not paying your taxes you are willingly inviting

Slavery

Kidnapping

into your homes and your town! Justice to those of Valdarin's Gate who still uphold the law! Justice to those of Valdarin's Gate with Honor!

[Separatist]

I, like most citizens of Valdarin's Gate, have paid my taxes, yet still you persist and bully us.

The King and his like eat their fill while we are left besieged by the undead masses, without even the slightest bit of encouragement from the crown.
It has been and shall be we who decide how best to uphold justice and provide security to the people of Valdarin's Gate, not you.
