Imperial Act of Absolution 1530
Imperial Act of Absolution, 1530
_____________________________________________________________________
Issued and Confirmed by His Imperial Majesty the Holy Orenian Emperor John I Frederick, 30th of the Amber Cold, 1530
TO OUR BELOVED SUBJECTS,
It is the sacred duty of the Holy Orenian Emperor to execute fully and proportionally the justice which deviants from the law deserve, especially when committed against his nobles and ministers. It is also, however, the duty and righteous cause of a just Governance to bestow pardon upon those who have redeemed themselves in the eyes of the Almighty and found holy and legal absolution for their crimes. It is such that on this, the 30th of the Amber Cold, 1530, His Imperial Majesty the Holy Orenian Emperor John I Frederick has duly declared an Act of Absolution, to pardon those noble souls who once rose in frenzied arms against their countrymen. It is thus stated that:
Otto of House Sarkozic, Yuri of House Vladov, Arik of House Vanir, and their associated kin,
Who are charged with the crimes of High Treason, are duly and totally Pardoned by the order of His Imperial Majesty, and welcomed heartily and fully back once more into the Realm of Man. Having absolved themselves of these dire crimes, these noblemen and their families are welcomed once more into the Holy Orenian Empire, to be given leave and charter to establish the Imperial City of Dules, subject to the lands of the Duchy of Carimea, and are thusly charged with its proper governance, security, and prosperity.
Enacted post haste, may this Pardon serve as a message of reconciliation to those outcast brothers of Man who wander the desolate corners of this world, in search of sanctuary. May the Amnesty offered to these men bind the wounds and wipe clean the blood from our history, and restore our Glorious Empire to its esteemed high state, for this age, and all others to come.
