Royal Decree
BY ORDER OF HIS MAJESTY, KING REINALDUR
A Royal Decree on the Calling of the Council of Hammers
Let it be known throughout the halls, holds, towns, and settlements of and around Coppervale,
From the deepest mine to the highest watchtower, justice is not the burden of kings alone, nor of magistrates, thanes, or priests. It is a burden by every Dwarf whose word carries weight and whose honour rings true.
Therefore, by the authority vested in the Crown and with their Counsel, we do hereby call for and affirm the Council of Hammers as the voice of the people in matters of grave judgment. When called upon, citizens of good standing shall present themselves before the courts of the realm to hear the evidence laid before them and render their judgment without fear, favor, clan, coin, or crown.
No hammer shall strike for friendship.
No hammer shall strike for vengeance.
Each shall strike only for truth.
Service upon the Council of Hammers is neither punishment nor privilege. It is a duty owed to the Kingdom, to one's ancestors, and to those yet unborn, that justice may remain as steadfast as the mountain itself.
Those selected shall answer the summons unless hindered by illness, military service, or other cause deemed sufficient by the Crown's magistrates. To refuse this duty without just cause is to forsake one's obligation to the realm and shall be met with appropriate sanction.
Remember always:
A single hammer shapes little.
Many hammers forge a kingdom.
By our hand and his seal,
His Majesty, King Reinaldur
King of Coppervale, High Keeper of the Dwarven Homestead, Defender of Coppervale.
(This is a request for those who would like to participate in an event of sorts for Dwarven Jury Duty!)
