In response to the Royal Proclamation, there is a feeling of a welcome surprise among the people though many mages complain of poor treatment at the hands of local merchants and citizen.
Once again the least of the realm look to their betters in hope of security. Rumors of the precept's true nature still circulate and of the other travesties brought on by Mages ranging from the Black Tower to the Illuminated Blade. Some reports of beaten mages and in more than one whispered conversation of murder can be overheard in the outlying areas, spread by caravan travellars.
More and more mages begin to register with their local lords or the crown directly though not all are pleased with this harsh measure.
Many wonder what comes next fearful of being in the middle of a magical confrontation.....
