On this day, The 23rd of May 309 A.D, the Imperial Mistress and Masters of Prowess release this decree.

⫸ A new proper system will be implemented for the members of the nobility aching for proper, friendly competition. Under the oversight of The Imperial Master of Prowess Breothric, with the aid of the Imperial Master of Celebrations Florian, these competitions will have both the possibility to gain regals, as well as prestige. This is how the challenges will go:
》First, the challenger contacts The Imperial Master of Prowess and proposes the challenge to him, as well as the wager before officiating it.
》The Imperial Master of Prowess will then deliberate with the Mistress of Conduces and the Master of Celebrations, before the challenge will be made official.
》The challenged may then choose to refuse, or accept the challenge. If they accept, they will then have to accept the wager.
》 The challenger and challenges may then propose forth a champion each. These champions will meet in the ring. Winner takes all. The man or woman whose champion prevails will take down all of the wager in the pot.
》Win or lose, both sides will gain at least some prestige as a result of their bravery in accepting / issuing the challenge.
》(Anything can be wagered, prog tokens, artifacts, etc. We encourage you to wager something tangible, and not funny-money.)

✿ Under the eyes of the Imperial Mistress, a new hunting order shall be formed. Named The Hunter's Gambit, this hunting order shall have members both commoner and noble to be able to travel around the Regalian Archipelago on hunting trips as well as use the Imperial trail and hunting lodge for hunting trips. The Archipelago trips shall take place monthly or bi-monthly depending on the order's availability. Applications shall always be open, though these must be done by penning the Duchess a letter.
✿ The Hunter's Gambit will have a hierarchy, and rewards during hunts. Whether that be for the biggest kill, the most kills or bravery during hard times. Each person shall be recognised as a hunter for the Regalian Empire.
✿ Events will also be hosted by the Mistress of Prowess, allowing the group to bond before these long trips away into the environment that rely on a sense of togetherness as well as after to celebrate the successful hunt. It is likely we may encounter animals that we have not hunted before, so only experienced hunters and combat virtuosos are preferred and accepted. Those with lesser knowledge can come to events though are preferred to keep away from the trips till they have the available knowledge; to avoid preventable injuries.
✿ The Application process is simple. First, pen a letter to the Mistress of Prowess stating name, age, and preferred weapon. A meeting will be set up, then you will either be accepted or denied. The Mistress reserves the right to deny anyone for any reasons. Criminals and dangerous aberrants are not allowed to apply. ((Discord DM's are preferable: Maeovika#0100)).
She hopes to see you soon.

➺ Under the Master of Prowess, Lord Stalvinge Viduggla, the Imperial Duelist League was re-established. This league is set to replace the Grand Bellator Order, in favor of a new system to host routine tournaments and dueling bouts. Members of the Bellator will be merged into the Duelist League as of this decree. Any who wish to participate in the Imperial Duelist League may write to the Prowess Master Stalvinge Viduggla.
➺ The first Imperial Tournament will be underway on the first day of June. The Summertide Tourney marks the first day of summer in the Regalian Archipelago, and the first of the month. Participants of this tournament are encouraged to paint and decorate their armor in summer flowers and depictions. Armor will be judged on appearance by the Mistress of Prowess, and will be deliberated when choosing a victor. Any who wish to participate in the Summertide Tournament may write to the Prowess Master Stalvinge Viduggla.
➺ Furthermore, the rewards for the victor of each monthly tournament has been set. The winner will receive the ceremonial title of Imperial Duelist Champion; a title that will allow any commoner or non-noble knight entry into the peerage for that given month. They will be allowed to participate in specifically noble events, have entry into peerage-only areas, and will have a larger chance at gaining favour with the noble families of the Regalian Archipelago. Another reward shall be either a finecrafted weapon or armor set, granted by the Imperial Court.
On a final note...
Lastly, events are in preparation for the Imperial noble retreat later in June. The peerage can expect entertainment in the forms of a day whaling and fishing in the bay, tests of strength, and a grand hunt! We all truly hope that we can see you there.
