Proclamation from the Master of the Mage's Guild

Re-posted at the behest of Guildmaster Silverbow.

---

Whereas the mages Guild of Travance has a continued relationship with the Crown, which was reaffirmed at a meeting with his Majesty, King Aleric, and

Whereas the mages Guild of Travance is charged to defend the Weave both actively and reactively and to watch for, hunt down, and destroy those who are enemies of the Weave and of the Kingdom of Kormyre, and

Whereas the Guildmaster is charged to see that the laws of the guild are enforced, and

Whereas the practice of necromancy is a threat to the Weave and those who practice necromancy are enemies of the Weave and of the Kingdom of Kormyre,

Practitioners of demonic magic are enemies of the Weave and of the Kingdom of Kormyre,

Supporters or practitioners of black sorcery are enemies of the Weave and of the Kingdom of Kormyre, and

The laws of magic and the Weave apply to all, not just those who are guilded to a mages Guild,

I, Ardin Silverbow, make the following declarations:

Crimes against the Weave and of Magic will be enforced by the Guild separate from Civil authority,

Necromancers and those who utilize necromantic texts, scrolls or other writings shall be apprehended and brought to the Guildmaster for judgment;

Practitioners of Demonic Magic shall be apprehended and brought to the Guildmaster for judgment;

Practitioners of Black Sorcery shall be apprehended and brought to the Guildmaster for judgment;

The Hollow Song is a threat to the Weave and those who utilize it shall be apprehended and brought to the Guildmaster for judgment.

Subjects of Travance who are not guilded to a Mage's Guild are under no compulsion to act to apprehend the enemies of the Weave, but should realize the importance of the integrity of the Weave and how it relates to our continued existence.

In the Service of Magic and the Weave,

Ardin Silverbow
Guildmaster

Guildmaster Silverbow has my complete endorsement of all of the above.

Good Necromancy is back in it's rightful place..... As evil and disgusting. If the mages guild would like my help in tracking down these scum you need only ask.

Signed, With truth,
Jack Dimms.

JACK! You are learning to be a mage? FANTASTIC! You can learn from me, afterwards you can attempt to hunt me (the scum) and that should be fun to do with all the new magic you learned.
On the other hand, if you were implying that you would attack me without being a member of the mage's guild, fair warning that is assault and I will bring you up on charges, as it is well good and legal for me to do what I do.

With respect to Master Silverbow, his proxies , attendees and other guild members;

Although I am disinclined to the discipline of magic, I am a student of all subjects and sciences, and understand the deep importance of the balance of the weave. The security of the realm has been my chief concern for my adult life, matched only by my devotion to the church in the light.

As Travance is now my home, and it's people my charge, I will make myself available to the Guildmaster Silverbow and his members. At any hour the Master may call on me to meet any challenge to the security of the realm and the weave and I will answer.

Any members of the guild who require escort across the land, day or night may also call on my service, if I am not servicing a greater need, will do so gladly.

Brother Lucien,

I have borne testament to your righteous creed; There are few in this land that consider all their brethren, including many who consider it their calling. What fortune that thine lodgings lie next to mine own. Would you be willing to lay aside devotions to truly aid the balance? Vile besmirchings lie against those of light, dark, and neutrality together. Would you stand to see the quarrel's end? When one acknowledges there is honor in each the promise of light, the threat of darkness, and the ambivalence of the moderators, one lays the foundation of enlightenment. For each are correct, and each are likewise dead wrong. I would be glad for your counsel, as I hope you would be glad for mine. If you would hear me out, might I offer you tea?
