Decree of Caerfyrddin

The Decree of Caerfyrddin is a document and decree made by Lord Llewellan ap Gruffudd to change the name of the Mynydd Marches to the March of Caerfyrddin.

Text
By the decree of Lord Llewellan ap Gruffudd, Arglwydd y Mynydd, the Mynydd Marches shall hereby be known as the March of Caerfyrddin.

No longer shall we suffer the name of the Mynydd Marches, a fiefdom created in order to discriminate, counter, and curtail the growth of the Mynydd as a people and immorally use the cousin tribes of the Cerniw and the Breifne to the advantage of a more numerous and powerful institution of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

''The former abuses of our kingdom from which we have sworn must be corrected and it is by our power as Arglwydd and the empty Throne and Crown of Lordaeron that this item takes place immediately. The Tiernas' of Dinas Narfon, Dinas Bran, and Dinas Emrys shall remain unchanged until more territories have been reclaimed in the name of our Kingdom of Light.''

For the glory of Lordaeron, the Holy Light, and the Hen Duwiaid,

Lord Llewellan ap Gruffudd Arglwydd y Mynydd Marcher Lord of Caerfyrddin

Explanation
The decree largely stems from a push of authority of the claim that Llewellan ap Gruffudd is the rightful liege of the March of Caerfyrddin and the accumulation of power as he ascended titles from a Duke to a Prince. Without an Overlord to stop the renaming nor his ascent, Llewellan was showing that he has the ability to overcome and continue his growth of power.

In addition, the Mynydd Marches were created in order to curtail the growing power of the then independent Mynydd. The Kingdom of Lordaeron used the Cerniw and the Breifne and exploited the conquered peoples in order to crate an effective wall of military might against the Mynydd in their Vale of Mynydd. By renaming the March, Llewellan moving forward from the past and recognizing the right of the Cerniw and the Breifne as an exploited people while also exercising the power of the Mynydd overlords.

It remains as one of his final decrees as Arglwydd before his ultimate ascent.
