The Queen's Declaration

Issued by Queen Reeny (formerly Princess Reeny) following the Highpoint Coronation Ceremony. This declaration established her authority as "Defender of Hightaeria" and "Supreme Governor of the Churches."

The Full Declaration

By delivery within the ordinance of Ao and according to our just title as Defender of Hightaeria, and Supreme Governor of the Churches, within these dominions we hold this document as most agreeable to my our Queenly office.

Upon mature deliberation, and with the advice of so many of our nobles, clerics and wizards, as might conveniently be called together, though fit to make this declaration.

The Council pronounce the following laws upon our citizens, any being or soulless entity on the grounds of Highpoint:

Magic, of any sort, of the following schools is hereby forbidden, sanctioned, without the proper permits, through the penalty of immediate banishment (for 1 minute) to the realm of fire:

  • Necromancy (ie Finger of Death) (but also Revivify);
  • Enchantment (ie Zone of Truth); and
  • Divination (ie Detect Thoughts).

I hereby declare:

The Council of Stewards is immediately and without rebut, disbanded and all claims from its affiliates and members to permits, land and titles are revoked;

That all members of The Opposable Force are drawn into immediate servitude of the Monarch and all Oaths are directed to myself, the Crown and members of the Milford Monarchy

Lastly, a reward of 100,000 GP will be provided to anyone returning the Elixer of Undying that was intended for my Father back to the Monarch, as rightful owners, as is our birth right.
