    With the previous Prince Marshal confirmed as Crown Prince Cedromar the First of the Kade Dynasty, (thus the previous Emperor’s brother instead of any of his sons), a Declaration of Imperial Intent has been issued. These declarations are always made at the start of a new ruler’s ascension to the throne, to inform the people and the nobility of their intentions as Emperor. It is always important to take note that this declaration is only one of intent. The Crown Prince does not yet have full executive authority and neither are any of these declarations actually passed into law without the confirmation of the Crown Prince’s rule by the State Apparatus. That being said, the declaration is always a good indicator of what kind of ruler the next Emperor is going to be, and some conclusions can already be subtracted from the text, and the implications between the lines. These declarations are sent as letters to all the major noble houses and delivered to all major guilds, organizations and sign boards across the Imperial city, and some days after across the accessible parts of the Empire.

    “Ꭷn the subject of Central Government, it is our opinion that the central state has not adequately grown in line with the Empire’s ever growing momentum. As such, our tenure will see an increase in the Empire’s central bureaucracy, with an expansion of the great Calcul offices, and expansion of local and regional chapters and charters of Calculs to manage the bureaucratic needs of the Empire’s far corners.

    Ꭷn the subject of Culture, is is our opinion that the continued cultural division of the Humanum is not in the interest to the Great Way. With certainty, we encourage respect and adherence to cultural roots, but in our tenure, we wish to further the encouragement of the Imperial High Culture; the true melting pot and the essence of our adaptive capability to thrive when the world around us would see us in peril. This issue is particularly deep to me, in saying that it is our opinion that bearing the clothing traditions or cultures on one’s self, is an act of un-patriotism.

    Ꭷn the subject of Taxes and Tariffs, we see the necessity for the Central Capital City to recover from the hardships of the occupation. At the same time, the colonial realms and Suzerains must diminish their obligations to ensure a proper recovery from the Bone Horror Menace. This leaves many to wonder how the state would deem it possible to carry the financial burdens. It is as such our prerogative to institute a period of austerity at the Imperial Palace. We believe that we have been able to functionally live in military disciplinary bare necessity for many years, and so will the court around us. We will not dispense with lavish feasts, Imperial processions and establish high court culture. The Effleur Estate will be shut down and non-essential and non-used areas of the Palace will enter a state of ill-use to limit the costs of living for the Imperial household. Extended members of the Imperial Family will also no longer live in the Imperial Palace, but rather be extended to live at already in-use Kade Estates across the Empire, to alleviate the central government's tax burden flowing to the excesses of the Imperial court. Our court will be austere. It will be strict and purely functioning on the barest of essentials to form both a sense of solidarity with the people in a time of need, as well as adhering to a more military style of housekeeping.

    Ꭷn the subject of Trade and Infrastructure, we will maintain course of the previous administrations. That being said, it will likely be our prerogative to completely waive the costs of migration transit between Regalia and the colonies. This should, in our good faith, result in adequate migrations and movements of people who are in destitute conditions in our glorious capital, to seek new fortunes in the colonies which require all the manpower they can get.

    Ꭷn the subject of Religion, we will maintain course of the previous administrations. The Imperial seat welcomes warm relations with the Sancella of Union and the Etosian Church. We will furthermore re-affirm the appointment of Holy Minister Aethelred Coen as the Supreme Reverend. That being said, the existence and persistence of heretics that skirt the rules of Religion in our state, is a situation we cannot stomach. As such, we will begin a theological debate with the Sancella to consult the potential necessity to revoke the Confessions of Melennar and the religious freedoms of the lesser faiths. Furthermore, and perhaps the most impacting of our beliefs— we are of the belief that there is nothing more perfidious to religion than the existence of false Unionists in our midst. These so called Old Gods Worshippers who fake their conversion to the one true faith to save their hides. We shall call upon the White Order to initiate a proper Inquisition among the nobility to expose false faiths and beliefs, and to adequately punish them in accordance with canon law. We will grant exceptus autonomis to our suzerain states. It is our belief that the Suzerain states of the Empire owe only financial and political support to our Empire. Their sacrifice for the Great Way is already adequate in what they provide, therefor the religious morality is a local matter.

    Ꭷn the subject of Rights of the lesser races, we will continue the previous administration’s beliefs and definitions. We will once more confirm the 11th creed as true and valid.

    Ꭷn the subject of Noble Rights, we will announce a moderate change in our view of the noble privilege. It is our belief that the Nobility continue to derive their right to rule from the hand of the Emperor. As such, the absolute ability of the Emperor to revoke, modify and affirm these rights must be maintained. This administration will not accept any form of libel against the Imperial Family, or indeed any dissenting opinion formation that was so frequent and permitted in the latter administration. The Concept of “Nobilis Cordon Sanitaire” will be made illegal, immediately punishable by revocation of titles. Furthermore we will re-affirm the previous administration’s intent to dismantle all non-military essential strongholds across the Empire’s heartlands, to revoke the right of the nobility to threaten the Imperial seat with military hostility and contempt. For those loyal to the state however, we deem effective rule to be more in need of reward. We have yet to formulate what the intent behind this is, but we seek not to sow conflict among the nobility. Rather than pitch the nobility against each other like the previous administration, this administration aims to encourage self betterment, not at the expense of others, but for the striving for greater recognition.

    Ꭷn the subject of Education and Research, it is our sole conviction that innovation is a necessary workhorse that powers the momentum of the state. Within reason, we aim to completely eliminate the controlling efforts of the Sancella of Union to stem certain research by removing or altering the limitations and bars set on certain topics and agendas. Our long term aim is to encourage more experimental research that will ensure Regalia takes to the forefront of technological progress worldwide.

    Ꭷn the subject of Colonial Affairs, we are confirmed in our support for the military ideals of our namesake, High Chancellor Cedromar the First of House Kade, and his expansive charter plans for the land grants to the military. To encourage military solidarity and strength, the future landed nobility of the colonies will be of military source, for those who carry the strength to strike their sword at the unwalked and unchartered land they tread on, shall be righted to call it their home by Imperial decree.

    Ꭷn the subject of Foreign Policy, we aim to confirm the previous administration’s aims to peaceful co-existence with the Songaskia Massaya foremostly. We however confirm our ideals of the socio-geographic necessity of the Human Central state of Daendroc. As such, we will engage in peaceful and diplomatic expansion of the Empire at the expense of the petty Elven states, and if they do not comply, the full force of the Empire will be brought to bear upon them.

    Ꭷn the subject of Public thought, we aim to prevent the galvanization of radical and negative public opinion. We will however announce our full support for an Empire wide gag rule on libel against any noble family or individual, and will also enforce a global gag rule on criticism of Imperial conduct, state decisions or policy.

    Ꭷn the subject of Rural affairs, we wish to reaffirm our support for rural solidarity with the urban centres. Having come from a rural family, we understand the hardships faced by the common people as well as the weight they carry for the Empire. We aim to alleviate the levy regulations on the rural lands of the Archipelago while we encourage the militarization of the burghers of the Crown City, with the formation of Schutzer Guilds and any such organization that encourages the proper instillment of military doctrine, discipline and teachings into the citizens of the Empire. Furthermore, we are of the opinion that the nobility carry the heaviest burden of the military expansion of the Empire. Therefore, we intend to make military service among the nobility mandatory for both genders, in varying different roles, to ensure that each noble family will carry their burden in future conflicts.

    Ꭷn the subject of Defense and the military, we wish to expand our plans considerably. We wish to say beforehand that we will be a Martial Emperor. Our purpose in life before the throne was that of the military; we have witnessed first hand many military campaigns and battles. We have participated in every single major military conflict since the Chrysant Wars, and even commanded large segments of our own levies in the majority of them. As such, we institute the Imperialis Coronatus Bello, the ideal that an Emperor and indeed the Imperial Spirit cannot demand the sacrifice of Humanum for the Great way, without taking at least equal peril. It is our belief that for the first time in 300 years of the Empire, an Emperor should be part of a battle, both to inspire, but also to lead and form as an example for the fellow levies, nobility and soldiers. For this purpose we will create a new political position of the Military Regent, a political office held by any Noble Family in particular with the purpose of acting as ruling regent in the absence of the Crown during military conflicts. Furthermore, it is our aim to strengthen the military capabilities of the Imperial armies considerably by creating a centralized armory, instead of relying on individual forges to produce makeshift armor and weapons. We wish to aim for a standardization of equipment across all armed forces, and an enactment of proper military discipline.

    Ꭷn the subject of Imperial Advisory, finally, we wish to profess that in being a Martial Emperor, we are not an all-aware Emperor. As the flesh is weak but the spirit is strong, the mind needs cultivation and encouragement to form a proper rule. We intend to create a ministry of five, positions granted to any individual of any race, creed, gender or class, to act as Imperial Adviser to the crown, a direct communication line. As per the austerity enacted in the Imperial Court, such advisers may live at the Imperial court, but pay for their own lodgings and servants. They will not receive a pension, but have the unique position to assist in the rule of the Empire that now follows at the lead of a military Emperor that has not yet had the tastes or the preparation of landed rule. We intend fully to keep our predecessor, former Emperor Alexander the First of the Kade Dynasty as our own personal adviser, however we beg the people also to see that we are not our older brother.

    Ꭷn the subject of the City Governance of Regalia, we aim to continue the policies of the last administration with one addition. We will appeal to Necessitus Imperialis Regis to immediately enact an addition to the state government. Aside from the 9 intelligentsia and one religious adviser, we will add an additional four military positions based solely on military leadership standing. We believe that while the government should be based on the rule of intelligentsia, the government cannot express how severely important the army is to the daily on-goings of the Empire, as well as integration in our societies. These offices are to be held based on Military leadership history, and these offices cannot be held by already existing military positions, such as High Admiral, Marshal or High Constable, or indeed any other position in the army or the city guard.

    We bid and beg all blessings of the Imperial Spirit, and to join together in solidarity against the terrors from both outside and within that plague us, and to strive with increased and renewed vigor to the Great Way and the Paradise of Humanum.”


    OOC Notes:
    • The confirmation of Prince Marshal Cedric Kade to be crowned as Cedromar the First has now been announced.
    • The character Cedric Kade now ceases to be a played character and segways into being an NPC that will solely be called upon for progression needs or server/player events, and with a limited degree family occasions.
    • None of this passes into law straight away (or at all, until a later date) with the exception of the change to the City Governance. This declaration of intent is just that, a statement of intent.
