"A court of law? You call that a court of law? Looks like the invention of a deranged Dunkelelf!"
- Diederick-Gobel von Lichtenfelts after reviewing the lawbooks of the Electoral Imperium of Hadria
"The Imperial Law is a cornerstone on the path of order. To stay on this path of light is an eternal battle, a battle we can only win if we stay walking on the line of Alder's guidance."
- Vater Constantine, the last clergyman of the old Attian Empire.
By the proclamation of our beloved Kaiser and lord of the Imperial realm, Diederick-Gobel von Lichtenfelts, the attention of the citizenry of the Empire is to be drawn to the revised Imperial law as published by the lawmakers' office. This revision aims to uproot the openings for corruption and usurpation left behind by the commoner's council of the usurper lords of Hadria.
It is now that the Imperial lawmaker's office released this revised lawbook to the public with pride in the hopes to create clarity among the citizenry and act as a guide to ensure the Imperial Citizens remain on the rightful path of Alder's light.
CHAPTER I - IMPERIAL LAWS
- Article I. Every citizen of the Empire is considered one of Alder’s children and is thus expected to be treated as such. They have the right to housing, food, water, access to an Alderist religious site, and have the right to a fair trial in which they are represented by an Imperial Lawyer who is knowledgeable with local regulations.
- Article II. Alder is the father and guide of the empire and only temples that follow his guidance may be presented as a patron place of worship within the province.
- Article III. In light of Alder’s guidance, everyone is expected to promote the formation of a stable family unit that brings forth a new generation of Alder’s children. In addition, one may not pry within established family units or seduce a married citizen to cheat in marriage.
- Article IV. Every citizen of the empire is to respect the property of another and the state and thus shall not fall for the sin of greed or barbarism by damaging the property of another or stealing what is not theirs.
- Article V. No citizen shall lay a hand on another without their permission. Any act of violence, intimacy, or other unwanted contact is therefore not allowed. Exceptions to this law may be requested for military organizations.
- Article VI. Performing any magical art within imperial borders is to be reported to local authorities where approval needs to be given to the individual before they may practice it publicly. Additionally, performing arts that are described as “voidal” or “chaotic” and thus are against the guidance of Alder and the Greater Pre-Determination are strictly forbidden.
- Article VII. It is strictly forbidden for any Imperial Citizen to be unfaithful when bound in marriage.
