The Treason Statute

[Finlaggan]

​

From the Office of the Lord Chancellor, Constanze du Brierüst

July 9th, 307 A.C.

The following is a set of bylaws related to the ways in which one can be charged with treason against the Empire and the punitive measures taken thereafter, hereby declared as such:

I. To knowingly act in any manner which threatens the integrity of the Empire, its administration, officials, peerage, the citizens within it, or the Emperor himself, is treason.

II. To knowingly plan to act in any manner which threatens the integrity of the Empire, its administration, officials, peerage, the citizens within it, or the Emperor himself, is treason.

III. To display hostile intentions toward the Empire, its administration, officials, peerage, the citizens within it, or the Emperor himself, is treason.

IV. Such charges of treason are to be punished by incarceration, forfeiture of any or all titles and positions in the case that an official or noble of the Empire is deemed treasonous, and may be punished by execution in cases deemed severe enough: this requires the mutual, signed agreement of both the Lord Chancellor and Lord Commander.​

Subsequently, it has come to the attention of this office that one Jared Luchs Kade has quietly conspired to disturb the Empire's peace by ousting the Lord Chancellor from her seat and selfishly instate himself in her place.

This is inexorably seen as conscious plotting and an aggrandizing display of hostile intentions towards not only the Lord Chancellor, but the Empire itself: challenging a decision made by the administration and the Emperor so brazenly.

For this, Jared Luchs Kade is hereby charged with treason, and is stripped of all titles and positions, including but not limited to that of Secretary of the Faith. He is officially wanted for arrest.

We trust that the administration will select a new secretary soon that has more faith in the Empire.

It is also known that there were other conspiring nobles who will remain nameless for the sake of the mercy about to be granted: any who come forward in private confidence to the Lord Chancellor about any role they played in this incident will be granted full amnesty. We hope in the future that if there are personal grievances with the Lord Chancellor and the administration, that they will be voiced constructively so that they may be evaluated reasonably for the sake of a better body of government.

Bite not the hand that feeds you.

Signed,
Constanze du Brierüst
Lord Chancellor
Archduchess of Maraisburke

Hengest Harhold pours up a cup of milk at this, sipping at his refreshing drink while his servants crumble up letters from Ser Jared Kade and throw them in the fire. "Fuck me, that was quick." He mutters under his breath, glancing to his office door with a hint of anxiety.

A note put beside that above notice by Kade a few hours after he entered Greygate, and was subsequently released.

July 9th, 307 A.C -Evening-

I'd like to thank each and every soul I worked with as Secretary of the Faith. Crushing violent Isldar, spearheading the Inquisition, and bridging Unionist gaps was a great joy and honor. With that said, I'd like to make three notes before I retire for the evening.

I. I was not harmed or touched when brought into Greygate, and the Violet Order showed me nothing but professionalism in their handling of my short-lived case. I commend especially Rodrigo Peirgarten and Julius Peirgarten in that regard.

II. As my release shows, I have committed no crimes, before or after these laws were put in place minutes after a meeting of government officials took place. During our private talk in Greygate, the Chancellor agreed as such, and spoke of many grand plans and ideas for the Empire. I trust she will do anything she can to see them through.

III. The Chancellor's response, with these sudden amendments to what defines Treason and my firing as Secretary of the Faith, was to the idea that government officials would write a letter to the Emperor humbly requesting he re-evaluate the current government positions. This, in her eyes, is nothing short of Treason. The public should be aware of that. Spirit bless you all.

Signed,
~ Luchs Kade
Brother-In-Arms to House Kade​
