The Sturmin Council of the Guilds of Narland hereby enact the following decree, enumerated 7076, regarding threats to the security and integrity of Narland, and the wider Federated States of the Flussland.
Background
It has come to the attention of the council that a group of hitherto unknown nefarious operatives have infiltrated a number of key organisations within Sturmin, and perhaps across the wider Narland region. These include but are not limited to the Alchemists guild, the Armourers guild and the Merchants Guild. There is also some evidence that they have had a significant influence over the illicit organisation known as the Verborgen, and have been inciting criminal activity within the city.
The full extent of the actions of this organisation is unknown, but their intentions are believe to be the destabilisation of the Federation, by inciting War between Narland and Acaria. This catastrophe must be avoided at all costs, and as such the Council has resolved to take action, and introduce some additional regulations with immediate effect.
Required actions
- All guilds, companies and traders must carefully audit their contacts to ensure that any contracts they are undertaking are legitimate in nature and true of cause. This is of particular importance if the goods concerned are potentially dangerous, such as weapons, armour or chemicals. Anyone who identifies a concern with a potential contact should raise it with their Guildhall immediately in confidence. Intentionally witholding such information will carry a fine of up to ten thousand gold pieces.
- Merchants exporting goods outside the borders of Narland must take care to inspect the contents of said containers to ensure that they are marked appropriately and paperwork has been correctly completed. There will be spot checks to ensure compliance with this measure, with a fine of up to five thousand gold pieces in the event of infringement.
- The export of military goods to Acaria is to remain open to support the Army's vital work in securing the safety for the Flussland as a whole. However, additional care must be taken to ensure that any such purchase orders are legitimate in origin, and their safe delivery to a military camp must be ensured. It is recommended that any shipments of arms are sent directly via guarded caravan to the military headquarters in Tecard. Smuggling of military arms elsewhere in Acaria will be punishable by fine of fifteen thousand gold pieces.
- Extreme caution should be taken whenever entering into Acarian territory or dealing with Acarians. Violence against Acarian citizens will be considered as severe as violence against Narlanders, and carry the same punishments as would be applicable under Narland law.
Authentication
Thus it is decreed, and the described regulations enter into law as of this day, the seventh of May in the year two hundred and seventy-six.
