	Ten years into his reign, Emperor Aurmont issued [[Prestige and Prejudice in the Empire - On Imperial Rank and Titles#Those Outside: Non-Humans in a Human Land\|Aurmont's Edict of 5113]], which declared that no individual within the Empire who bears a drop of human blood should be treated as less than human. His Edict was said to be inspired by the long service of Baron Dunrith.		Ten years into his reign, Emperor Aurmont issued [[Prestige and Prejudice in the Empire - On Imperial Rank and Titles#Those Outside: Non-Humans in a Human Land\|Aurmont's Edict of 5113]], which declared that no individual within the Empire who bears a drop of human blood should be treated as less than human. His Edict was said to be inspired by the long service of Baron Dunrith.

	In 5114, [[Prestige and Prejudice in the Empire - On Imperial Rank and Titles#\|Prelate]] [[Chaston Griffin]], rose to prominence within the [[Church of Koar]] and was appointed the Prelate of Talador as the barony finally reclaimed its rightful independence. Originally from Jantalar, Prelate Chaston had served under Baron Lerep during his wars of aggression against Talador and the other northern territories, and he fervently supported Chaston's Edict. Over the next two years, Prelate Chaston established the [[Blameless]] to purge any lingering traces of the [[Dark Alliance]]'s influence throughout the Empire that may have remained after the conclusion of the [[Griffin Sword Saga]]. That focus swiftly changed to target the entire [[Lornon]] Pantheon's influence, both within the Empire and without, often resorting to violence to force confessions before executing accused offenders even after they forsake their patrons to convert to Koar. He eventually targeted all those not aligned with Koar, such as slaughtering an entire village of [[Imaera\|Imaeran]] sylvans simply because they refused to honor Koar above their patron, Imaera. He then expanded his crusade even further to include all non-humans, invoking Chaston's Edict as proof that his cause was just. Prelate Chaston targeted half-elves in particular, experimenting on them to develop a contagious disease that was alchemically modified to target those with mixed human and elven blood with the intent to commit genocide against them throughout the Empire and return the Empire, and potentially all of Elanthia, to a state of racial purity. He was indifferent, if not supportive, of the same disease also affecting other non-human races. He also used the blood of imprisoned half-elves, non-humans, and human "heretics" to create [[blood marble]] in the mines of Talador.		In 5114, [[Prestige and Prejudice in the Empire - On Imperial Rank and Titles#\|Prelate]] [[Chaston Griffin]], rose to prominence within the [[Church of Koar]] and was appointed the Prelate of Talador as the barony finally reclaimed its rightful independence.

Over the next two years, Prelate Chaston established the [[Blameless]] to purge any lingering traces of the [[Dark Alliance]]'s influence throughout the Empire that may have remained after the conclusion of the [[Griffin Sword Saga]].

He was indifferent, if not supportive, of the same disease also affecting other non-human races. He also used the blood of imprisoned half-elves, non-humans, and human "heretics" to create [[blood marble]] in the mines of Talador. It has to be noted that the Prelate of Talador Chaston Griffin's rise to power was made to be relatively easy, given the near-destabilization of wide swaths of imperial territory during [[Cross Into Shadows\|the War of Shadows]], which left many imperial territories in disarray and others without leadership, including Talador.

	In addition to Wehnimer's Landing, multiple Imperial territories are caught up in Prelate Chaston's crusade. Politically motivated attacks and assassination attempts occurred across the Empire, targeting those Imperials who indirectly or directly opposed Chaston's Edict. [[Larsya Caulfield]], the young daughter of Baron [[Spensor Caulfield]] of [[Bourth]], was struck with a poisoned arrow. Several representatives from the Imperial territories convened in [[Tamzyrr]] to meet with Emperor Aurmont in [[Imaerasta]] 5116 amid the rising tensions, including [[Salnim Malwind]], Baron Dunrith's son and heir to Vornavis. In response to Vornavis' explicit tolerance toward all races and Baron Dunrith refuting Prelate Chaston's authority when he spoke during a Vornavian court session, the Baron was infected by the half-elven disease. Prelate Chaston kidnapped Earl Eddric, declaring him a heretic for his tolerance of non-humans and opposition to the Prelate's plans.

	Meanwhile, in [[Ta'Illistim]], concerned citizens petitioned [[Argent Mirror]] [[Myasara]] to expand her own aid efforts, which had recently including sending food and supplies to [[Ta'Vaalor]] after it suffered an unnatural winter. Lady [[Sayilla Javilerre]] was appointed as an ambassador of the Argent Mirror and traveled west to meet directly with Baron [[Dunrith Malwind]], as most of the relief effort coordination was based out of Vornavis. Sayilla secured airship docking rights in Solhaven to better facilitate transfer of supplies from Ta'Illistim for the relief efforts. She also met Kasendra, and the two began to foster positive relations between their respective nations.

	Baron Dunrith was so impressed by Sayilla that he shared the ongoing efforts with Emperor [[Aurmont]], who agreed to open discussions with the Argent Mirror. After some correspondence between them, Emperor Aurmont and the Argent Mirror agreed to meet in person to discuss future aid and to sign a treaty that would declare a mutual respect and friendship between their sovereign nations. This treaty became known as the [[Valley of Gold]] accord, named after the valley in which it was held in [[Lumnea]] 5119. While the other four elven Houses were invited to participate, they shared a ~~mixed~~ response. King [[~~Qualinor~~]] of the [[Vaalor]] attended, ~~appearing~~ to ~~passively~~ ~~support~~ ~~the~~ treaty.

This treaty became known as the [[Valley of Gold]] accord, named after the valley in which it was held in [[Lumnea]] 5119. While the other four elven Houses were invited to participate, they shared a tepid response. King [[Qalinor]] of the [[Vaalor]] attended, although he questioned why such a treaty was needed as it had been a very long time since there had been any wars between the Empire and any of the City-States. The [[Nalfein]] were initially incredulous about the idea that the Illistim were even considering the treaty but ultimately chose to remain distant on the matter, preferring to bide their time to wait and see how things played out. An emissary, [[Ianthra Nishaye Nalfein]], was sent to represent the House and keep an eye on what transpired. The [[Ardenai]] and [[Loenthra]] acknowledged the event and invitation but did not attend, taking the politically safe route of non-involvement.

	In spite of the Valley of Gold treaty, the improving relations with outside elven nations, and the overall opposition to the Chaston's Edict within the Empire, the Edict remained in effect. While Kasendra [[:Category:What Follows\|continued her involvement]] with the Talador relief efforts, working closely with Salnim, progress on Emperor Aurmont's command to repeal the Edict appeared to have stalled.

He also ordered Baron Lerep to return the mandis crystals untainted that the late Empress Mynal'lyanna had given him. The Baron refused, and instead escalated his siege of Wehnimer's Landing. Emporer Aurmont ordered Earl Eddric to act on his behalf in his new role of Northern Sentinel to resolve the conflict. Earl Eddric sent his forces from Hendor to aid Wehnimer's Landing, directly opposing Baron Lerep. Baron Dunrith of Vornavis also sent his forces to bolster Earl Eddric's efforts. Baron Lerep was repelled but did not acquiesce. He was eventually defeated, killed in battle in [[Eoantos]] 5103 in the [[Outlands Manor]], outside of Vornavis as he prepared another attack. Earl Eddric and Baron Dunrith knighted a number of heroic individuals after the battles had concluded, including elves and [[giantmen\|Kindred]].

			In a final twist of fate in Empress Mynal'lyanna's legacy that was not uncovered until 5107, the individual who had orchestrated her assassination was revealed to be an Inquisitor of the Sun Throne, Usyian Denturei. Moreover, Usyian had [[The Inquisition of Baron Malwind#Fall of an Inquisitor - Malwind Restored!\|planned the assassination in a bid to increase the influence]] of Chaston's Edict throughout the Empire even beyond what the late Empress had intended. By implicating Baron Dunrith, he intended to influence Empress Mynal'lyanna's heir to remove those not of full human blood from all positions of influence, including Baron Dunrith. Ursyian further intended to maneuver himself so that he would likely be invested in one of those positions vacated. His plot revealed, Usyian was charged and faced execution for his crimes, while Baron Dunrith was found not suspect in all matters of his Inquisition.

	Following the death of both Baron Lerep and Empress Mynal'lyanna, the Empire fell into a period of uneasy peace. Many territories further turned away from the tenants of Chaston's Edict in the wake of the previous years' chaos, especially those on the outskirts of the Empire, such as Vornavis, [[Bourth]], and [[Aldora]].

	Chaston's Edict originally targeted elves and those of mixed elven heritage. After the Edict was established in 4310 by Emperor [[Chaston Kestrel]], the property of many elves was seized throughout the Empire. Skirmishes broke out between Emperor Chaston's enforcers and elven citizens. Elves, and those of elven blood, also started to move out of the Empire. Many of them settled in [[Wyrdeep Forest]] in the Barony of [[Bourth]], where many elves had already established communities within the ancient forest. Both Bourth and the Wyrdeep became recurring places of conflict within the Empire as its citizens struggled with the reality of the Edict in a region that already had a long history of many races living side by side. The Wyrdeep itself eventually became known as a bastion of elven expatriates. In [[Gallardshold]], the Bourth city closest to the Wyrdeep, the people established long traditions of [[Bourth#Customs\|wearing special symbols]] to indicate whether they supported or opposed the Edict.

	Due to the exodus of elves, many citizens skilled in magic left the Empire. In response to this, Emperor [[Immuros Kestrel]], cousin of Emperor Chaston, established the [[Hall of Mages]] to encourage magical study among non-elves. He also disbanded the enforcers and ordered that the harassment of elven citizens cease. The opposing sentiments of both Emperor Chaston and Emperor Immuros were echoed over multiple generations, causing both support and interpretation of the Edict to vary between successors to great detriment to the Empire and its people.

	In 4479, Emperor [[Roginard Burzost]] amended the Edict by establishing legal terms of [[hathlyn]] and [[ordlyn]] to codify how the Edict discriminated between humans, elves, and those of mixed ancestry or other races, using specific terms to define people by their heritage. ''Hathlyn'' referred specifically to those of mixed human and elven heritage. ''Ordlyn'' referred to all other non-humans who did not have any elven ancestry. In addition to adding these definitions, Emperor Roginard also expanded the edict to discriminate not just against elves but also against any non-humans. His additions prevented hathlyn and ordlyn from serving in any position of leadership, including in guilds, politics, and higher military ranks.

''Hathlyn'' referred specifically to those of mixed human and elven heritage. ''Ordlyn'' referred to all other non-humans who did not have any elven ancestry. In addition to adding these definitions, Emperor Roginard also expanded the edict to discriminate not just against elves but also against any non-humans. His additions prevented hathlyn and ordlyn from serving in any position of leadership, including in guilds, politics, and higher military ranks.

	[[Elves of Wyrdeep\|These legal terms were drawn from the old Kannalan language]]. It is worth noting that the Turamzzyrian Empire was built atop of the [[Kannalan Empire]] after its collapse in 3961, with the first Empress [[Selantha Anodheles]] uniting the three major Kannalan cities of [[Tamzyrr]], [[~~Esltreth~~]], and [[Kai Toka]] in the years prior to her coronation in 4278. The territories around those cities are known today as [[Selanthia]], [[Aldora]], and what was [[Kezmon Isle]]. Under Empress Selantha's reign, the old Kannalan regions of Bourth, [[Honneland]], and [[Toullaire]] were also seized by the Sun Throne. In the generations that followed, the Turamzzyrian Empire slowly absorbed the remainder of the original Kannalan territories. While no documents exist to either affirm or deny the purpose behind Emperor Roginard ammending Chaston's Edict in 4479 to incorporate Kannalan terminology or to target ordlyn specifically, it is possible that this was to prevent the growing presence of Kannalan-era bloodlines, which had included [[giantmen\|Kindred]] and [[halflings\|Truefolk]] in addition to humans, from regaining control. In spite of this, the presence of Kindred in particular did continue to grow and become more accepted throughout the Empire.

	Eastern Bourth continued to openly trade with the elves of the Wyrdeep in spite of it being technically in violation of the Edict. In 4599, a minor lord in Bourth, [[Gallard Wilke]], sent collectors into the Wyrdeep to demand the elves living there pay taxes. The elves responded by killing at least one of the collectors. Lord Gallard retaliated by razing an entire elven village in the Wyrdeep. These events escalated until Emperor [[Krellove Chandrennin]] stepped in after the [[Nalfein]] were implicated in supplying the Wyrdeep elves. He built an army and declared war against the Nalfein. The [[First Turamzzyrian-Nalfein War]] lasted from 4605 to 4610. It ended abruptly after Emperor Krellove's death, with his successor Emperor [[Toscus Chandrennin]] declaring an end to the war.

Shortly afterward, Emperor Aurmont announced that Kasendra would travel to Ta'Illistim on his behalf as a diplomat, where she was [[Kasendra Malwind/saved posts\|welcomed into the Illistim court as an emissary]] alongside Argent Mirror Myasara's handmaidens.

	In [[Koaratos]] 5122, Baron [[Spensor Caulfield]] of Bourth died of old age. A funeral was held for him in the [[Wyrdeep]], honoring the longstanding traditions of the [[Caulfield]] family to pay respect for the ancient forest and its ways. Most in attendance wore [[Bourth#Customs\|symbols indicating their opposition to the Edict]], including the Caulfield family. In the days following and prior to his own coronation, Baron Spensor's son and heir, [[Breshon Caulfield]], traveled to Tamzyrr to [[:Category:Born of Bourth#The Way Forward\|demand the Council of Lords and the Emperor]] finally act on Emperor Aurmont's decree of 5116 to end Chaston's Edict. In retaliation for his words and actions, the remnants of the [[Blameless]] attempted to disrupt Breshon's coronation three days later but were unsuccessful.
