A New Order - Declaration of a Dominion

Wharftown, 1 Anno Imperii* / Eleint AR117

Citizens & beings of all kinds from across these islands,

This day marks a turning point, one where war will be put behind us, and we can press on with the enforcement of law, order, and prosperity.

Therefore I declare THE SECOND DOMINION of NORTHERN ARELITH, incorporating at this time the FREE PORT of WHARFTOWN, the EMIRATE of SIBAYAD, the ARCHDUCHY of MINMIR and the DUCHY of SENCLIFF under one NATION-STATE, and one SOVEREIGN, HIS GRACE ROSENKRANZ I.

Each province of The Dominion will be granted a high level of autonomy, with a DIET comprised of Bürgermeister Marya Althschuler (Wharftown), Emir Penerith Silaya (Sibayad) and Duchess Ann I of House Thrule (Sencliff) ruling over His provinces, and will be convened on a regular basis to meet to discuss issues of the day.

Any self-governing territories or settlements who wish to be join our confederation is invited to contact His Grace or His Court.

Manu propria

(Curator's Note: "Anno Imperii" was an attempt by the nascent Second Dominion to restructure history and dictate the structure of its retelling, by phasing in a new dating system. It did not persist. Regardless, this document can be dated precisely to the 12th of the 9th, 117AR.)
