Edict of Condemnation

The Edict of Condemnation is an act of written legislation drafted personally by Lord High Chancellor Asuryan Caernough. A direct response to the appointment of Niklos Adamant Bishop of Lordaeron by the Council of Bishops, the Edict of Condemnation invokes articles first fielded in the earlier Edict of Absolution, stating without hesitation that the Kingdom of Lordaeron does not recognize the so-called Diocese of Lordaeron, and that any individual claiming to hold that office is in fact a criminal and traitor in the eyes of the realm.

The Edict
WHEREAS We are hither come today to recognize fact. We, last sons of Lady Lordaeron; We few who turned the tide; We of the Light and of the Kingdom; We of Honor and of Faith; We of the Throne and of the Seal; We, Loyal servants to The Queen-in-Council; We bonded to She Who Is Lordaeron.

WHEREAS We have come to hear of southron idolators daring, contrary to Edicts prior, to claim both authority and demense over These, Our lands of Lordaeron Restored.

WHEREAS We have been informed that the most corrupt and morally bankrupt See of Stormwind has most recently seen fit, in fit of piteuous pique and maneuver of naked ambition, to appoint by their own authority and for means abject, a so-called Bishop of Lordaeron.

THEREFORE We, last sons of Lady Lordaeron; We few who turned the tide; We of the Light and of the Kingdom; We of Honor and of Faith; We of the Throne and of the Seal; We, Loyal servants to The Queen-in-Council; We bonded to She Who Is Lordaeron, persuant to the articles of the Edict of Absolution, invoke them thusly.

THEREFORE Let it be known that By Right of Rule and Majesty, any person desiring to execute the supposed powers of, claim the offices of, or dare even proclaim themselves Bishop of Lordaeron is hereby attained of high treason against This Kingdom of Lordaeron Restored and condemned to death by means most painful.
