Official ban of Magic in Kingdom of Veritria

Cultural event

The cathedral bells of St Austead ring out in the morning, calling people to gather at the city square. Balfor & Qildor decide to investigate to see what is going on. Upon arrival they find that the members of the city council have gathered, surrounded by guards. The Archbishop John Paul addresses the crowd, announcing that magic is to banned throughout the Kingdom of Veritria, as ordered by the King himself - King Alexander IV. Only those in possession of a proper permit are allowed to wield magic of any kind.   To further the point, two wizards are brought out before the crowd and tied to pyres, before they are set alight - setting an example to the people that this ban is serious.
