Criminalize Hand of Dumon

Latest revision as of 17:25, 13 July 2022

To make membership and aiding of the Hand of Dumon illegal, and to denounce this cabal of heretics.

Proposed Miaren, Seconded Hercynia

The motion creates a law making it illegal to be a member of, or offer aid to, the Hand of Dumon.
The Hand of Dumon is an Iron Confederacy conspiracy of magicians dedicated to the so-called dark god of the Suranni pantheon. They are not believed to be active within the Empire.
Passed

The Hand of Dumon is outlawed, as is offering aid to the organisation.
Magistrate Karkovich advises that the magistrates will treat this crime as being on par with membership of the vyig rather than a more serious crime such as treason. Someone found guilty of being a member of the group, or offering aid to it, is likely to receive a fine rather than be executed (unless of course other more serious crimes come to light while investigating the case). Furthermore, heresy is a matter for the Imperial Synod to determine, and so without a judgement of condemnation from the Synod that element will not be considered during criminal trials.
