	* '''Punishment:''' The most dangerous place in the world is the southern wastelands, and no where is safer than the capital of the Faendryl Empire. It is the severe and unforgiving spirit of its laws that allows this greatness. Theft is met with removal of the hands or eyes. Assault is met with whipping. With weapons, flaying. This realm is plagued with chaos through the inexcusable leniency of its judges. Xorus is committed to instituting the harshest corporal punishments for even the most minor of infractions. More severe crimes will no longer be met with fines, but torture and public executions, with the finest and most horrific methods of the imagination. Where the Lady of Winter would foster anarchy with her mercy, we shall turn to necromancy, Luukosian deathwort, and burning souls in mawfire as street lights.		* '''Punishment:''' The most dangerous place in the world is the southern wastelands, and no where is safer than the capital of the Faendryl Empire.

	* '''Dark Magic:''' Time and again history has proven that only by embracing "dark magic" may we master it enough to transcend the threat of it. The imperial pretext of this region as a harbor for sorcery and the dark arts is to be celebrated rather than condemned. Without the Palestra, Althedeus would have won. Without the study of demonic blood, the Blameless would remain invincible, and Larsya of Bourth forever uncured. Without the necromantic arts of harrowing the veil, the paragons of Raznel would have remained a mystery, and the Bleaklands would now be the whole world. The Hall of Mages is like a carpenter's guild which has dedicated itself to mending the stone walls of a city where it has outlawed masonry. Xorus would make legal the major demonic and provide all "dark elves" a safe haven.		* '''Dark Magic:''' Time and again history has proven that only by embracing "dark magic" may we master it enough to transcend the threat of it.

			* '''Borders:''' No one else will be as vigilant in minding ''all'' of our borders. Xorus alone possesses the vision to make use of our hellish realms and herniated weaknesses in the veil. Shadow Valley, the Broken Lands, the Red Forest, Melgorehn's Reach, the Bleaklands and the Shadow Realm. Even the Elemental Confluence. With such commitment he is willing to personally rule from our western, eastern, and otherworldly borders in Darkstone Castle and Castle Anwyn. When bringing forth the might of all of our neighbors, the Empire will pay for a northern Demonwall. Wards will be arranged with Estrion.

	* '''The Empire:''' The town council of Wehnimer's Landing has capitulated repeatedly to the declaration of 5115 that these lands are an imperial protectorate of Tamzyrr, issued by Earl Eddric Jovery through Sir Thadston Andrews who is now a member of this town council. With the appointment of Cordarius of the Hall of Mages as our foreign ambassador, it is not possible for us to pretend we are a sovereign power, however dependent on the northern imperial territories for our imports and exports. Xorus will seek to secure from the Northern Sentinel letters patent declaring this town the capital of the Darkstone Bay region, for whom all rights to resources are reserved, such that all material issuing from our dominion without our seal will be treated as smuggling and contraband under imperial law.		* '''The Empire:''' The town council of Wehnimer's Landing has capitulated repeatedly to the declaration of 5115 that these lands are an imperial protectorate of Tamzyrr, issued by Earl Eddric Jovery through Sir Thadston Andrews who is now a member of this town council.

	* '''Independence:''' With this he will greatly strengthen our power, until such time other opportunities have manifested. In the span of only two or three decades there will no longer be a Northern Sentinel, returning us to the potential depredations of the northern baronies, or else a new Sentinel of unknown disposition and temperament. The Valley of Gold treaty with Illistim may no longer hold if a new Mirror sits upon the Peacock Throne. In such times it may be possible to become our own kingdom, or else our own barony, ruled under our own Baron of Darkstone with all the liberties worth keeping.		* '''Independence:''' With this he will greatly strengthen our power, until such time other opportunities have manifested.

In such times it may be possible to become our own kingdom, or else our own barony, ruled under our own Baron of Darkstone with all the liberties worth keeping.


	* '''Diversity:''' The Sun Throne cannot rule all of its feudal territories in the same manner regardless of their local characters. The threat was always instead from the aggressive aspirations of the northern baronies, who are now too weak from years of slaughter to project their force upon us directly. It is more trouble than it is worth to incorporate our lands. With the northwest as the only "free" region of the continent, it has become a melting pot of traditions. The Empire would have little choice but to accept the reality of our bloodlines if it meant it were ruled without hostility. Xorus would leverage our diversity, convincing the Empire it is far more valuable to not interfere with our autonomy and various "freedoms", as many matters which cannot be conducted elsewhere are still possible here by virtue of it.		* '''Diversity:''' The Sun Throne cannot rule all of its feudal territories in the same manner regardless of their local characters.

	* '''Order:''' The Brotherhood of Rooks has exceeded the bounds of tolerance for criminal enterprises. Wealth and prosperity from our warm relations with the Empire will slowly eviscerate their appeal, but until such time they must cease to extort and make demands of our government. Their leadership must limit themselves to trafficking certain illicit goods for the profit of the state, or else they must be executed with extreme prejudice unless and until they obey the Mayor. For far too long the Mayor of this town has had to stand powerless before such knavery, unable to command the militia or law enforcement. Xorus will seek to consolidate his own power with paramilitaries who answer only to himself, much as we did in the reign of terror on Mist Harbor. These death squads will bring peace and order to all.		* '''Order:''' The Brotherhood of Rooks has exceeded the bounds of tolerance for criminal enterprises.

	* '''Inclusion:''' Only Xorus is willing to be a friend to all within our dominion who would be our friends. For too long the "Adventurer's Guild" has committed unwarranted aggression against his Sheruvian colleagues, the religious community of the Spider Temple, the lizardmen of the Coastal Cliffs and many others. Rogue actors have repeatedly drawn us into unnecessary conflict with practitioners of the dark arts even when they pose no immediate threat to ourselves. Xorus worked with "The Alchemist" in spite of his protege having intended on murdering him. He healed the heiress of Bourth with his unique knowledge of demon blood. His methods were crucial for ultimately revealing the paragons of Raznel. Whether it be Grishom Stone, Quinshon, or whomever else, Xorus will aid us all.		* '''Inclusion:''' Only Xorus is willing to be a friend to all within our dominion who would be our friends.

	* '''Krolvin:''' When the works of Praxopius are released to Xorus, he will know how "The Alchemist" weaponized his work. Only Xorus has the knowledge, vision, and will to expand this beyond the immediate kin of Kragnack. It will be worked further until it is lethal against the whole krolvin bloodline, spreading among them as the blackblood curse before it, until their every mongrel brat and rotting womb is annihilated from the soil and seas of the world. By the gods, we will leave no survivors, or else leave them hopelessly enslaved to us. Only then will we know true prosperity and maritime supremacy.		* '''Krolvin:''' When the works of Praxopius are released to Xorus, he will know how "The Alchemist" weaponized his work.

It will be worked further until it is lethal against the whole krolvin bloodline, spreading among them as the blackblood curse before it, until their every mongrel brat and rotting womb is annihilated from the soil and seas of the world. By the gods, we will leave no survivors, or else leave them hopelessly enslaved to us. Only then will we know true prosperity and maritime supremacy.


	* '''Dark Magic:''' Time and again history has proven that only by embracing "dark magic" may we master it enough to transcend the threat of it. The imperial pretext of this region as a harbor for sorcery and the dark arts is to be celebrated rather than condemned. Without the Palestra, Althedeus would have won. Without the study of demonic blood, the Blameless would remain invincible, and Larsya of Bourth forever uncured. Without the necromantic arts of harrowing the veil, the paragons of Raznel would have remained a mystery, and the Bleaklands would now be the whole world. The Hall of Mages is like a carpenter's guild which has dedicated itself to mending the stone walls of a city where it has outlawed masonry. Xorus would make legal the major demonic and provide all "dark elves" a safe haven.		* '''Dark Magic:''' Time and again history has proven that only by embracing "dark magic" may we master it enough to transcend the threat of it.

	* '''Punishment:''' The most dangerous place in the world is the southern wastelands, and no where is safer than the capital of the Faendryl Empire. It is the severe and unforgiving spirit of its laws that allows this greatness. Theft is met with removal of the hands or eyes. Assault is met with whipping. With weapons, flaying. This realm is plagued with chaos through the inexcusable leniency of its judges. Xorus is committed to instituting the harshest corporal punishments for even the most minor of infractions. More severe crimes will no longer be met with fines, but torture and public executions, with the finest and most horrific methods of the imagination. Where the Lady of Winter would foster anarchy with her mercy, we shall turn to necromancy, Luukosian deathwort, and burning souls in mawfire as street lights.		* '''Punishment:''' The most dangerous place in the world is the southern wastelands, and no where is safer than the capital of the Faendryl Empire.

	* '''The Empire:''' The town council of Wehnimer's Landing has capitulated repeatedly to the declaration of 5115 that these lands are an imperial protectorate of Tamzyrr, issued by Earl Eddric Jovery through Sir Thadston Andrews who is now a member of this town council. With the appointment of Cordarius of the Hall of Mages as our foreign ambassador, it is not possible for us to pretend we are a sovereign power, however dependent on the northern imperial territories for our imports and exports. Xorus will seek to secure from the Northern Sentinel letters patent declaring this town the capital of the Darkstone Bay region, for whom all rights to resources are reserved, such that all material issuing from our dominion without our seal will be treated as smuggling and contraband under imperial law.		* '''The Empire:''' The town council of Wehnimer's Landing has capitulated repeatedly to the declaration of 5115 that these lands are an imperial protectorate of Tamzyrr, issued by Earl Eddric Jovery through Sir Thadston Andrews who is now a member of this town council.
