Because, times as they are, the wellsprings of Glamour threaten to run dry in the Court of Carriages and surrounding County,

Because it behooves all Galmourous beings to encourage the prolongation of these Glamourous times before the coming of the Great Winter of Banality,

to all Fae in the Court of Carriages, be they permanent residents or visitors, that it is of utmost import to us, the Crown, to preserve and protect all sources of Glamour within our County, whether they be animate or non-. And thus, His Excellency, Count Airlyn Midsummer, duly appointed representative of Duke Peregrine au St. Claire of the Duchy of the Straits, who himself is the duly appointed representative of the High King David Ardry, Long May He Reign, declares that:

1) All Glamourous beings, including but not limited to Fae, Gallain, Thallain, Nunnehi, sentient Chimera, Kinain, Enchanted Mortals, and mortal Dreamers, are under our special protection. Any Glamourous being who finds him or herself in danger, Chimerical or mundane, may request the help of the Court, who will send resources as His Excellency, or a duly appointed representative thereof, sees fit.

1a) Any being, whether Glamourous or Banal, Fae, Gallain, Prodigal, or mortal, who knowingly, willingly, and maliciously brings about great harm, death, or undoing to a Glamourous being, as defined above, shall be hunted down and destroyed. Exceptions are to be made in the case of self-defense, if said being was a grave threat to Fae society, or if the slaying was in defense of one's personal honor, if the death occurs in the confines of a duel.

1b) Any person who knowingly harbors one so hunted will be permanently exiled from the Court of Carriages, and is to be killed on sight if an attempt to re-enter the County is made.

1c) Any Galmourous being who comes upon a newly Chrysalized Changeling shall bring that new Changeling to Court as soon as possible, whereupon the new Changeling shall be welcomed to the World of the Dreaming and assigned a mentor so that he might be properly instructed in our ways. Any Glamourous being who is found to have knowingly and willingly harbored and/or hidden a newly Chrysalized Changeling from the Court will be exiled.

2) All inanimate sources of Glamour, including but not limited to Freeholds, Balefires, Dross, Chimera, and various other objects which contain, produce, or otherwise store Glamour, are considered County Treasures, and, as such, are under the protection of the County. Any willful and malicious destruction of one of these sources of Glamour, unless necessary for the use of that source of Glamour, is a direct offense against the Fae and other Glamourous creatures of this County, and will be met with the swiftest and harshest punishment possible.

3) If a Glamourous being is in possession of an inanimate source of Glamour at the time of his death, whether it be caused by the death of his mortal body, permanent retreat into the mists, or the undoing of his Fae soul, that source of Glamour becomes the property of the County, and should be brought as soon as possible to the Court, or to a duly appointed representative of the Court. If any Glamourous being is found to have violated this decree, the inanimate source of Glamour and all inanimate sources of Glamour in the Glamourous being's possession shall be confiscated, by force if necessary, and removed to the premises of the Court.

3a) If a Glamourous being has entered into an Oath with another Glamourous being, and the terms of the Oath include that, upon the death of one of the Oathmates, any or all of the dead Oathmate's possessions should go to surviving Oathmates, this negates the County's claims upon any Glamourous possessions, as defined in proclomation 2, above.

3b) If a Glamourous being feels that he has true claim to a Glamourous item that has been claimed by the County under the circumstances described in proclomation 3 above, he may petition His Excellency, Count Airlyn, for return of that item at any time after that Glamourous item has been confiscated by the County.

3c) Access to the County store of Glamourous items, located in the County Palace, is restricted to His Excellency, Count Airlyn Midsummer, and his duly appointed representatives, except on occasions of High Festivals, Open Court, or other times at the discrection of His Excellency.

4) His Excellency, Count Airlyn Midsummer, holds the right to final arbitration between any parties who hold a valid conflict within the County. Any Glamourous being, as defined in proclomation 1 above, has the right to have their dispute heard before His Excellency for fair and impartial judgement.

4a) The County officially recognizes Mikel Thunderfist as the official Commoner liason to the Court. If any Commoner holds a complaint against His Excellency, Count Airlyn Midsummer, or any of his duly appointed representatives, that person shall first seek the counsel of Mikel Thunderfist before bringing his grievance directly to the attention of the Court. Any other Glamourous creature not of noble rank, such as Nunnehi, Gallain, Thallain, sentient Chimera, Kinain, or enchanted mortals, may request an audience with His Excellency through a duly appointed representative of the Court.

5) In accordance with the Crown's imperative to protect the County and all Glamourous beings therein, His Excellency reserves the right to press into military service any able-bodied inhabitant of the County in times of grave danger to the County. For this purpose, the Crown shall maintain supplies of Chimerical weapons in armories throughout the County.

5a) Any Glamourous being caught stealing, attempting to steal, damaging, attempting to damage, or otherwise cause or attempting to cause the weapons stored in County armories to be ineffective as weapons, or entering into an armory without permission, shall be exiled from the County, and killed upon sight if an attempt is made to re-enter the County.

5b) Any Galmourous being who, when called to defend the County during a time of need, flees, refuses to assist, or otherwise shirks his duty to the County, shall be immediately exiled from the County, and killed upon sight if he attempts to return to the County.

Through these laws, His Excellency Count Airlyn Midsummer wishes to maintain the peace in the Court of Carriages and to ensure the postponement of the Great Winter for as long as possible through the frugal use and fierce defense of Glamourous resources in the County.

Delivered this day, Beltaine of the 25th Year of the Resurgance, the First Beltaine of the reign of Count Airlyn Midsummer.
