The "Consent in Undeath"
The "Consent in Undeath"
Signed By Abathar Merevier The Undying King
To cause the prevention of the extinction process of the dark mages AKA Maitres.
There was a scandal after this law was released because most of the clerical organizations, temples, churches, covens were against such a law because of political indifferences on performing various activities to counteract the consequences of the Great Necromantic War.
As the clerics and paladins and other arcane users capable of fighting off or negating the presence of undeath on baronies and kingdoms territories were most required and paid large sums of coin to perform these type of rites.
Purpose
The purpose of the document was both to protect Maitres and people from rebels at the time remains of Maitres and general apprentices of dark arts.
As an act of the Consent in Undeath was protecting people from being raised as undeath or spirit or demon or any kind or form of monster, preserving the dead body intact, and giving the perished a chance at a calm afterlife and proper burial.
Document Structure
Clauses
There are two sections, one of them describes the rights and privileges of the Maitres, and the other the rights of the owners of a certificate of the "Consent in Undeath"
Caveats
In the first clause, there are such parameters and consequences as following.
1. The Maitres and practitioners or apprentices of the dark art would not be harmed and will be protected by the name of Abathar Merevier and by authority of the Great order of the Clenched Gauntlett, Unless:
A.The given Maitre or dark apprentice will use necromantic arts or any other occult practices, to cause harm to a humanoid creature that has not agreed on being a subject to the following magical practices. Or implements those practices to an already deceased body of the subject.
2.The given Maitre or dark apprentice, will construct an abomination, that encompasses various species and types of creatures, that will disgrace and desecrate the bodies of the perished as a result of the ritual. Unless all of the following creatures had had a "Notice of consent"
3.The given Maitre or dark apprentice, will not develop spells, magical artifacts, third-party familiars, and other arcane beings, that will break the terms of this Manuscript. Or as well you can not force creatures of free will to perform the dark arts that will be causing previously mentioned misdoings
4.Exclusions of the following misdeeds are:
-If the caster (performer) of the ritual, spell (other), was influenced by the third party, as in indoctrinated charmed by magical or other unnatural means.
-If the caster (performer) of the ritual, spell (other), has official permission approved by a high priest of the life domain church or temple.
-If the influenced person was no having a copy of the note of consent filed in the archive of Kingdoms Librarium. He could not be accused of breaking the Manifests rules.
-Exclusion includes also revivifying spells cast upon sentient constructs such as modrones (and the variety of their kind),Forgeborn, Warforged, @Tlaloc, and other construct creatures.
5.The given right of using the necromancy and other dark arts could be taken away by a high representative of the church that holds a status of "Exilio Iura" - the execution by using that right could be enforced immediately if there are consequences of great power.
6.The punishment for using necromancy and dark arts is designated by the church, court, or the owner of the land.
In case of argument between those sides, the rulers of the land's word is final and taken as a verdict.
If the Manifest rules are broken you will be subdued to "Obsignes Sabellas Sacris" the sealing rites that will seal off your magic powers for eternity, The seal can not be removed or somehow trifled with. Even the Deities could not remove it. And our magical heritage will be forfeit.
Unless the court or church or landowner of the mentioned crime will make an exception, as if necromancy was used with good intent, for the benefit of the greater good, and those rare occasions when the usage of the magic was unintentional, and it could be proven by witnesses that have a noble ranking or a position at law-enforcing organs.
The holder of the "Note of consent" will be protected by the government and representatives of the Great Order of The Clenched Gauntlet, according to the Kingdoms Law
1.The individual that was born would be given a right to write the note of consent as soon as they can consciously make that decision.
2.If the individual can not write or read, it will receive the assistance of a cleric, as its birthright. Provided that it will be no further than the rites of coming of age are performed.
3.The holder of the "Note of the consent" will be granted to brought to justice, and punished according to the laws of the Kingdom.
4.Also if the holder of the "Note of consent" is affected, will be also granted a proper burial and cleansing rites bestowed upon the body of the perished.
