Eugerian Edict of 2190

For the Title created by this Edict see Prince (Vardanian Variant)

With a single document, Eugeron shook the Hegemony to its very core. In but a few lines, he fundamentally altered the structure of his realm. An action which would ultimately steer it toward collapse.

— from "War of the Seven Princes" by Darius Kaseidis

Excerpt from the Eugerian Edict:
In the year after the Dawn 2190, under the eyes of the gods, our lord Eugeron, first of his name, Vindicar of Tarquinnia, Socian of Rhomeia, Emperor of the Hegemony, Hegemon-King of Anidara, Akara Raja of Illigara, Tungan of Mykonia, King of Interra and Heronia, lord of all lands under the heavens and protector of its people, decrees that...
...This action has been verified by Imperial Justicar Atian Coreleanus, under the eyes of Empress Itea, Magister Militarum Gneaus Honorianus Agalet and Primae Aedile Sketea Gannis Aleta.

Special notice regarding the Eugerian Edict
From today on, special measures have to be taken, to secure a certain set of documents. A faction within the administration, has taken an increasingly radical course and it is to be believed that they soon could attempt and destroy a large number of the items in our archive. This could be part of a larger damnatio memoriae against the later rulers of the Second Hegemony. Henceforth the archive containing said texts is to be guarded at all times. Only trusted individuals, contained within the list found with this notice are to be given entrance. We cannot let the zealotry of a few, rob our people of the chance to learn from the past. The archives have to be protected, no matter the cost!
- High Archivar Malean Coadis

Eugerian Edict of 2190

...the increasing anti-imperial sentiment in the upper echelons of the Hegemony's administration can no longer be tolerated. After long deliberation the Emperor has concluded that several individuals, henceforth only referred to as disloyal subjects, can no longer be trusted with the care and oversight of the realm's provinces.
With this in mind, the Emperor decrees that the provinces of Tarquinnia, Moira, Magna Caria, Helenia, Ilin, Sigrin, Imera and Atria, as well as the Scetian provinces of Hekari and Illigara, are henceforth classified as Imperial Provinces to signify their importance to the health and continued well being of the Hegemony. The governors of said provinces are to step down and return governance of the regions unto the Emperor.
To ensure the continued protection of the Hegemony's interests, these provinces will be put under the rule of the newly created Prince, who shall rule until their death, commanding both military and economic forces of their domain, in name of the Emperor. As such, the province of Sigrin and title of Prince of Sigrin is bestowed upon Amelian Valerian. Furthermore, Gerion Valerian is to receive the province of Tarquinnia and the title Prince of Tarquinnia. Lastly, Helian Valerian will receive the title Prince of Illigara and said province.
Failure, on part of the governors of said regions, to comply will be met with the full force of the Tarquinnia Hegemony. Anyone resisting the decree is to be branded as Enemy of the Hegemony and shall be pursued even before the Gates of Gefrin.
