[Closed]Research of Dangerous Phenomenon

[Ruler]

From Mister Frosthelms Draft:

Research of Dangerous Phenomena:
Research of any other strange phenomena deemed a possible horrendous threat to Arabel are capital crimes. They are not to be tampered with under any circumstances without Crown Approval.

I would suggest the following:

I would like to make the case that clergy (officially recognized or not) specifically related to the deities of knowledge be exempted in whole or in part from any attempts at laws or restriction on:

• Carrying documents that may be considered profane, blasphemous, or otherwise unpleasant.

• This would include things like copies of texts teaching one how to summon outsiders, how to raise undead, and the like.

• Conducting research into fields that may be considered as above up to the point where that research is put into practice. Studying intense necromancy (for example) should not be cause for arrest, death or worse. The actual implementation of these teachings in robbing life of dignity is the crime, not the knowledge itself.

• Carrying relics of similarly dubious nature with the exception that if such a relic poses a credible threat to a settlement or the city, it should be well documented and handled appropriately- likely destroyed if possible. Much as a Mystran might argue this, I believe in preservation of life over some artifacts.

If such a body is available, the local Arcane Guild should be made aware of the presence of any of the above if they are of significant danger or potential danger. All research on these documents, relics, and so on should be shared with said guild who can offer its own body of knowledge to aid the research. The research will then be shared with the shrine of Deneir, documented, cataloged and preserved for future generations.

Failure to inform local handlers of the arcane of these sorts of affairs should be treated as a lesser crime, punishable by fine. If the objects or topics in question are of great severity (such as Belon's binding of an angel), the punishment should reflect the nature of the lapse up to and including execution. Regardless of the priest's rank or standing; putting people at such a great risk is inexcusable.

Deities of knowledge would include:

Racial deities that deal exclusively in the handling of one or more realms related to preservation of knowledge or magic. Examples include:

Deneir, Mystra, Oghma
Thot (Mulhorandi pantheon)
Dugmaren Brightmantle (Dwarven)
Labelas Enoreth (Elven)

Lack of documentation was the downfall of those before us. Not to mention, those with faith related to the weave and guilds such as ours are the best equipped and knowledgeable to not only handle such matters but to document and communicate their relevance.

Kindly,

~Guildmaster Finley Copperfield

Exemptions should be made for official clergy of the faiths of Arabel

That being Tymora, Tempus, Denier, Helm, Lathander, Liira, Malar, Siamorphe and others.

Mystra doesn't have a shrine yet though perhaps the Arcane Guild could sponsor one.

I would argue that any research of dangerous phenomenon requires the approval of the Crown, unless they are part of an organization that was granted a permit to do so.

Otherwise a permit will need to be obtained and documents held at all time to be provided on request of law officials.

Divine Champion of the Divine Right, Siamorphe
Head of House Chapter in the region of Arabel
Ruler of Immersea
Knight of the Realm of Arabel

Officially recognized organizations by Crown should be granted permission to study Dangerous Phenomenon, submit proposal when undergoing said research. Full transparency required with authorities. Should not have secrets.

Precept Arcanum prime example.
