From the desk of the Armaments Officer:

As many of you may know, I, Enheduanna Abansaddi, have been awarded the task of distribution of armaments permits. The following is going to be a brief overview of the process of gaining a permit, what constitutes the approval or denial of a permit and some rules that those seeking a permit should be aware of.

On the topic of weapons permits:

According to the state laws all citizens are allowed to carry a dagger or stiletto no longer than ten inches for personal protection. If training is required to properly use this for protection feel free to contact myself and I will arrange for someone with the proper skillset to meet and discuss training.

Nobles and weapons: Be aware that nobles are not automatically approved for a weapon, if you wish to carry one and have a valid reason please come see me to avoid having your potentially priceless heirloom weapon taken and having yourself charged with illegal possession.

Knights and the State Metropolitan: Members of any knight order or the State Metropolitan are automatically given weapons and armor permits, there's no need to apply, they're understood.

Firearms: Given the ability for quick and notable damage from these types of weapons the process for receiving a permit for a firearm of any kind will be more strict.

Puretek Weapons: Given their occult nature, the process for receiving a permit for a puretek will also be more strict.

Magically Summoned Weapons: Considering casting magic outside of private areas or as members of the Arcane unit within the Metropolitan permits for magically summoned weapons will be denied.

On the topic of armor permits:

After reviewing the records, the armaments office has decided that most noble house guards do not have immediate need for full armor permissions in the Holy City. If your house has sent in guards for armor permits I will need to speak with them again.

Armor Permits in General: From this point forward I will be more strict with approving armor permits mainly to avoid having citizens walking about with protection borderlining knights. If you're wanting an armor permit, come ready for a more in depth interview.

Decorative Armor: Decorative armor is defined as only shoulder-pieces, bracers, or helmet , or if the material offers no more protection than cloth. These are all legal and don't require a permit.

Application Process
​

1. Visit Greygate during the time when the Armaments officer is holding business hours.

a. If you need a permit, need to pick up or check on a pending permit or have any questions about an armaments permit and the Officer isn't on duty feel free to pen them a letter at Glory Hall #6 (dm me @Amps07#1530 on disc.)​

2. Mention your intentions on receiving a permit and you'll either be seen on the spot or a meeting will be scheduled.

a. The interview will be determined by what permit you're after, some interviews will take longer than others.
b. Be prepared to answer general questions about yourself, what you're seeking a permit for and why.​

3. After the interview there's nothing else to do but wait. The Officer will do the rest behind the scenes and within 24 hours of the interview they will have a decision. Swing by Greygate or catch them during office hours to check up on the status of your permit.

a. There will be several factors to the approval or denial of your permit to include but not limited to:

i. Criminal Record (Former criminals can successfully register depending on )
ii. Government office or military service
iii. Reputation
iv. Aberrancy Status​

b. If you are approved your name will be recorded along with the basic information of your permit and your actual permit will be written up and ready for you.
c. If you are denied you will be given a reason why and a decision on if you're allowed to reapply and what timeframe that might be.​

OOC Info:

There's not too much to say on the ooc side of this, if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. I'll usually get back to you in a short while with an answer or tell you that I'll have to find out and get back with you.
