Edict 5YL-11-05

To All Subjects of the Empire, 

''Fierce as a tiger is, he does not harm his kin. Xiao Xuyan, despite the grace of the Court in granting him military command and a princely title, has nonetheless turned his back on us, and is plotting rebellion and spreading lies about us. This is an unforgivable crime!''

''We hereby declare that he is stripped of all his titles and ranks, dishonourably deprived of military command, and command that he lay down his rebellion and come before us to admit his crimes. All who defect from his cause, and leave the darkness for the light, will be pardoned. ''

''We also command that the Camps of the Imperial Capital are hereby activated, that all troops of the Capital Guard will now man the walls, and that no one is allowed within those camps now without a pass. ''

''Bear in mind that justice shall be done! Let those who are loyal work hard and have their just reward, while those who are disloyal quake in terror!''
